Before Ernests Gulbis took to court Suzanne Lenglen for quarterfinal action at the French Open on Tuesday, the last eight players who had knocked out Roger Federer in a Grand Slam had lost in the very next round. Not since Novak Djokovic at the 2011 U.S. Open had a player taken out Federer before winning his next match.
Roger Federer dropped a set for the first time this fortnight but still managed to book a spot in the last 16 of the French Open with a 7-5, 6-7(7), 6-2, 6-4 victory over Dmitry Tursunov on Friday. Federer needed three hours and seven minutes to set up a meeting with Ernests Gulbis.
Roger Federer booked his spot in the third round of the French Open with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Diego Sebastian Schwartzman on Wednesday afternoon. Federer held 14 of 15 service games to advance after one hour and 43 minutes of play.
Today was one of those days. Yes, it was cold and windy and off and on it spit mini-drops of rain; that is, until a deluge just before closing time. As always, on the first Wednesday of Roland Garros “Kid’s Day” is celebrated and as usual the grounds were swarming with excited youngsters...
It has been a mixed bag of results for seeds through two days of the French Open men's singles tournament.
The French Open got off to its traditional Sunday start, but a plethora of entertainment has been left for Monday and Tuesday as the first round heats up. While Roger Federer is already through to round two, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have not yet made their 2014 Roland Garros debuts. Let's take a look a quick look ahead.
Here are some of our favorite pictures of the great Federer through the years. Enjoy!
Roger is the man. When you visit eBay and enter tennis in the "search" he comes up with the most items for bid / sale. Some of the staff here @10sballs_com are tennis collectors. GEEZER ( thank you Casey Wasserman ) has been a 10s collector since childhood.
One day after reaching his fourth Masters 1000 quarter-final of the 2014, Milos Raonic (Thornhill, ON) advanced to his first semifinal of the season on Friday at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia in Rome thanks to a 6-3, 5-7, 6-2 win over Frenchman Jérémy Chardy, who upset Roger Federer in the second round.
A jam-packed day of second-round action at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia did not disappoint on Wednesday. Well, fans of Roger Federer--of which there are many in Rome and everywhere else--did have to go home disappointed.
Rafael Nadal did not have much company from the proverbial "Big Four" last week in Madrid. Novak Djokovic missed the tournament due to a wrist injury, Roger Federer pulled out following the birth of twin boys, and Andy Murray was unceremoniously bounced out by Santiago Giraldo after just one match.
The famous Top4 are getting older, maturing, settling down – at least off court. Roger Federer, of course, has been settled for some time with Mirka, the twins and another child due in weeks, or even days, if Roger's late withdrawal from the ATP Masters1000 in Madrid is any indication.
EPA has a variety of great tennis photos, but these are just a few that caught my attention and I just wanted to share them with you guys. Enjoy!
Tennis is no longer a young man's game. Roger Federer, 32, is third in the 2014 race to London. David Ferrer, also 32, is No. 5 in the world. Tommy Haas may be struggling physically, but at 36 years old he is still ranked 16th.
Grigor Dimitrov won the tourney in Bucharest. He beat Lukas Rosol 7-6, 6-1 to make that 3 ATP titles he has notched. His ranking will move up tomorrow when the ATP weekly rankings are posted. He is currently ranked 16. Will this put him in the top ten ? Or just near it.
