Having failed to reach the quarter-finals of a tournament for the first time in a year --- since he also slipped up here last year -- and blowing a lead of a set and a break, Federer was quick to look ahead after his 4-6, 7-6 (7/2), 7-6 (7/4) defeat.
"I'm definitely looking forward to a few days off, I'll definitely be happy to take two, three or four days off, whatever it takes to feel physically and mentally fresh for the French Open," he said.
"I'm feeling great now and I'll practice when I get to Paris," he added.
