Roger Federer is back!!!
Top-ranked Roger Federer, who had shockingly not won a single tournament all year, won the Estoril Open Sunday after second-seeded Nikolay Davydenko retired with a leg injury while trailing 7-6 (5), 1-2. It’s been eight years since Federer needed five tournaments to get a shot at his first trophy of season.
“It’s not the way you want to win a tournament, but that’s just the way it goes sometime,” Federer told the crowd after the match. “It’s great to win a title again and to straightaway win my first clay court tournament of the season gives me great confidence going into Monte Carlo.”

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.
