Federer is fierce!!!
I'm heading out to the Pacific Life Open on Thursday so hopefully will get to see a Roger Federer match. Earlier today, he emphatically showed that he is back after a few lackluster months during which he was slowed by a case on mono. This started talk that he was slipping.
Ha!
The top-seeded Swiss swept past unseeded Frenchman Nicolas Mahut, 6-1, 6-1, on Tuesday to advance to the quarterfinals of the event - his second consecutive straight-sets victory. He's been the world No. 1 since February 2004 is a 12-time Grand Slam champion and the current holder of the US Open and Wimbledon crowns yet some people want to suggest he's past his prime - at 26!
Get ready for Roger Federer's second act folks!
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
