David Ferrer, the world no.7 who has been a Wimbledon quarterfinalist for the last two years, has flown back home to Valencia for a major check up with his doctor and rates himself as doubtful for the Championships that begin next Monday.
Many big stars recall it as wacky Wednesday. The third day of last year’s Championships when Wimbledon’s grass began to play more like an ice rink of several big names, such as Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and Marin Cilic all suffered bad tumbles while Victoria Azarenka was forced to withdraw because of an injury she suffered because of a slip on court a few days earlier.
London tennis fans are thrilled that this years French Open Champion and current World No.1 Rafael Nadal has confirmed that he will play at the BNP Paribas Tennis Classic on Friday 20th June. In addition to this, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic will also join ATP stars Andy Murray, Kei Nishikori, Tommy Robredo, Tomas Berdych & Grigor Dimitrov to complete this years line up of the BNP Paribas Tennis Classic.

Light--or lack thereof--is once again an issue at Roland Garros. As a result, we are still missing one of the eight fourth-round matchups as the season's second Grand Slam hits its second week. Safely through, however, are Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Roger Federer.
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.

Mats Merkel is a key member of the Adidas high performance team. Here he is @roland Garros taking a selfie. Look at those clouds in the background. Look at that smile. He is ready to go.
After Gilles Simon got through his first-round match at the Mutua Madrid Open and set up what was supposed to be a meeting with Roger Federer, the Frenchman joked, "I'm going to ask Mirka to push a bit."
Another small but solid step toward the Top Four for Roger Federer. It's getting close to certain he'll make it; the only two players who could catch him are David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych, and Ferrer needs a final (one more win by Federer and Ferrer would need a title); Berdych already needs a title.
The score makes this look closer than it was -- Roger Federer lost only three points on serve (he won 94% of first serve points, 92% of second serve points). Ivo Karlovic did pretty well on serve, too, but you knew he was doomed if it came to a tiebreak. For a guy who wasn't sure he would play, Federer certainly looks solid...
It was right there for Jiri Vesely's taking in round three of the BNP Paribas Open on Monday afternoon. Andy Murray was in foul mood even by Andy Murray standards and his game was no better than his demeanor.
