World No. 2 Roger Federer of Switzerland disregarded claims that his tennis career is going downhill after he was smothered in a huge defeat by World. No. 3 Novak Djokovic of Serbia 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 6-4 straight set.

Federer’s dominant reputation in the court has changed as he was stripped of his last remaining major title by 24-year old Serbian at the major dogfight at Rod Laver Arena Thursday.

"Yeah, I mean, they say that very quickly. ... Let's talk in six months again," Federer was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

"It's disappointing and it hurts in the moment itself," Federer said. "I wish I could have won here again for the fifth time. But wasn't possible tonight. It's not the end in any way. It's a start for many other tournaments after this."

Sure 27-year old Federer is up for more tournaments, reiterating that he will be back in no time.

Like all the reasons of his first defeat against Djokovic reported eralier by the International Business Times, Federer had everything explained of his second and major defeat.

Federer said that he didn't play the key points well, adding that falling behind Djokovic in the first-set tiebreaker on backhand errors, gave Djokovic four set points.

"Every time I had slight opportunity, either I didn't play my best or he played his best," Federer said. "It was a tough night from this standpoint. Those are sometimes the way matches go."

"It's not the end in any way," he said. "It's a start for many other tournaments after this. Sure, it's disappointing and it hurts in the moment itself. I wish I could have won here again for the fifth time, but it wasn't possible," Federer was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

Number two Federer has won a male record who has won 16 Grand Slam singles
