Roger Federer was taken out in the round of 16 of the tournament in Halle which is played on grass and where he won ten times.
A huge disappointment for the Swiss who made his return to this surface this week, beaten in three sets by Felix Auger-Aliassime (6-4, 3-6, 2-6) after an overall well-negotiated entry into the game against Ivashka (7 -6, 7-5).
