Nadal, Federer ousted in Montreal Masters

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both exited the Montreal Masters on a historic day of ATP tennis on Friday when the world's top eight reached the quarter-finals at the same event for the first time.

The World no 1 and two were unable to go on though, with Federer going down to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-7 (5-7), 6-1, 6-7 (3-7) in the quarter-finals. Second seed Nadal, the defending champion, lost to Argentine Juan Del Potro 7-6 (7-5), 6-1 as the Spaniard continued to test his form after two and a half months out to rest injured knees.
