Federer, Roddick to Contest 3rd Wimbledon Final
"  Federer is one match away from shedding the "former world No. 1" tag, as a win over Roddick in the final would see him reclaim No. 1 from Spaniard Rafael Nadal.

Berdych Beating Roddick on Monday at Wimbledon? Stay Tuned!
ide. Who would have guessed Federer, Djokovic and Roddick would all lose more sets than Hewitt. So Hewitt thus far is clearly the biggest beneficiary of Rafael Nadal’s absence. As for the women, all things still point to Venus-Serena in the final, and I still like Caroline Wozniacki to come out against Venus with E...

Federer, Murray Heading Toward Final Sunday Collision?
e women's, is a good thing! I also heard a report of a shot clock coming to tennis, about time. It’s something I talked about last year.

What was your reaction when you heard Nadal was out?SERENA WILLIAMS: Uhm, I was sad. I'm a huge Nadal fan. I'm sure there's a lot of guys on the men's tour who were probably celebrating and partying.

Andy Murray Interview - Wimbledon, June 20
: No, I mean, if I got to that stage. I mean, I would have had to have won five matches before I would have had to play him, so I wasn't thinking about playing Nadal at all. If that opportunity came, then I'd obviously look forward to it any time I play him. It's a great challenge. He's one of the best players ever. So, yo...

Roger Federer Interview - Wimbledon, June 20
d enjoy the time at home and recover. I feel like I'm ready to go here. Q. Do you feel a weight of expectation that's come back onto you?
