London: Roger Federer`s troubled 2013 season came to a suitably downbeat conclusion with a semi-final loss against Rafael Nadal in the ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday. Here AFP Sports looks at the low points of the Swiss star`s worst campaign for over a decade:

January - Loses in Australian Open semi-final to Andy Murray. February - Beaten in Rotterdam quarter-finals by Julien Benneteau, breaking a run of 28 consecutive last-eight wins against players outside the top 10. May - Thrashed 6-1, 6-3 by Rafael Nadal in Rome Masters final, sending him into the French Open without a title in the year for the first time since 2000. June - Crashes out of the French Open quarter-finals in straight sets against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. June - Defeats Mikhail Youzhny to win first and only title of 2013 at Halle and 77th career trophy to tie John McEnroe at number three in Open Era title-winners list. June - Hits a new low as the defending champion loses to world number 116 Sergiy Stakhovsky in second round at Wimbledon.

The result ends Federer`s run of 36 consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final appearances.

October - Announces the end of his coaching partnership with Paul Annacone, who had worked with him since July 2010.
