Another week in the sporting world has come and gone with despair and delight once more seen in equal measure.

Roger Federer
The Swiss legend suffered his latest disappointment in recent months as he crashed out in the first round on home soil in Gstaad. Having exited Wimbledon at the second round stage and lost in the semi-final in Hamburg in the last month, this was another setback for the 17 time grand slam champion. Federer lost 6-3 6-4 to Germany's Daniel Brands and sited a back problem as a major reason for his loss, putting his preparation for next month's US Open into some doubt.
West Indies
The T20 world champions were beaten twice in as many days by Pakistan on home soil in the game's shortest format having had defeat in the ODI series confirmed by a four-wicket defeat to the tourists just days earlier. A top order collapse in Sunday's second T20 clash meant that their run chase never really got going and West Iindies ultimately fell short of Pakistan's 135-7.
