On from Madrid to the Eternal City, Rome, Italy, as the top tennis players in the world reconvene on the road to Roland Garros. Djokovic, Murray, and Federer all look to bounce back from less than stellar performances in Madrid. Rafael Nadal who is still ranked at #5 behind David Ferrer at #4, will look to continue his dominance on clay. Much to my chagrin, Federer has dropped to #3 in the world rankings behind Murray.
Djokovic is in action today and he has advanced in two sets over A. Montanes, 6 -2, 6-2. Federer vs. P. Starace is just now getting under way and Murray and Nadal will be in action tomorrow. (Federer is sporting a new, shorter haircut!) Stan Wawrinka, Fed’s fellow Swiss countryman, has moved up to #10 in the world after making it into the final at Madrid against Nadal last week. Way to go Stan. Wawrinka advanced today in three sets, 5 – 7, 6 -3, 6- 3 over Berlocq. Both del Potro and Berdych are also in action today.
GO FEDERER! Update: 51 minutes, 35 winners with only 8 unforced errors, Federer dismantles Starace 6 – 1, 6- 2. Shorter hair, and looking much sharper on the court than he did last week in Madrid!
