SHANGHAI, China — Top-ranked Roger Federer lost consecutive matches for the first time in 4 1-2 years, falling to No. 7 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile 4-6, 7-6 (1), 7-5 Monday at the Masters Cup.Sigh. That's the first time this defending champion lost for the first time in 11 meetings against Gonzalez.
It snapped Federer's 15-0 record in round-robin play at the season-ending tournament, which features the top eight men's singles players and doubles pairs.
So saddening!
):"It was a tough loss," Federer said. "I thought I played pretty good. I wish I had an excuse."
Aw, hey, even the best fall down sometimes.
But-oh, what's this?
ATP World No. 1 Roger Federer remains in strong contention for a Tennis Masters Cup semifinal slot after defeating Nikolay Davydenko 6-4, 6-3 in Shanghai Wednesday. Federer improved to 11-0 lifetime against the Russian, against whom he has won 13 straight sets.
:) :) :)
And Arielene's Andy Roddick was the first one to qualify for semifinals after beating Gonzalez, who suffered a letdown after a win over Fed. Oh em gee! Only two spots left! :0
Yesterday was spent with Gillybaby ;) , Ah Mop, Unagi and Brudder. We went to Vivo and fought with kids younger than us. Okay, not really. If gangster Chael were there it would've been a fight. She said, and I quote,"I will throw my slipper at them lor!"
But honestly, I think Brudder did enough. Hoho. Fiesty.
Federer vs Nadal this Saturday! :)
OMG Federer vs Nadal this Saturday?!!!!
Crap! So much for 'think as I type'. Oh no! The wedding's Saturday night! And I'm leaving for it in Kl tomorrow. Argh.
Blood is thicker than water, blood is thicker than water, blood is thicker than water.
Imagine if it were an Arsenal game.
Is it bad to say that Arsenal's blood too? :/
Ah wells, at least Cesc won't be playing Wigan. The smart fella collected 4 yellow cards before the game on Monday. And he purposely got himself another one just so he wouldn't have to take the risk of missing the next match against Sevilla! Hoho. What a clever boy he is.
I miss you too, Bimbo. You know who you are. :)
