Is it the end of an era? The signs are becoming more evident, but only time will tell just how the “Age of Roger Federer” will fit into the scheme of things that are always in flux within the professional tennis world.

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.
