Swiss world number one Roger Federer experienced a upset defeat in his first match ever since losing the Wimbledon final as he went losing 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 to Gilles Simon of France on Wednesday.
Federer was defeated for the second time in an opening match this season at the 2.6 million-dollar ATP Masters Series hard-court tournament in Toronto. He also lost to Andy Roddick in the Dubai first round in early March.
Federer, who had a beginning bye, was beaten in this month's classic Wimbledon final by Rafael Nadal, who went through into the third round on Wednesday after a day delayed six hours by rain.
Simon was fresh off winning the Indianapolis title last weekend and could not believe his success in the second-round match up.
