Is Federer RoboCop?
According to Roger himself, he isn't. A shocking admission, I know. Speculation had abounded for years concerning his almost mechanistic uber-fitness and laser-like focusing abilities. Turns out, Federer sometimes comes down with an acute case of Wandering Mind Syndrome. I guess when you've won 16 major titles, it's hard to keep your head in the game in the smaller tournaments. No offense, Granollers.
But all joking aside, both Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are through to the quarterfinals in Dubai. Federer had leisurely match today against Marcel Granollers (ESP), winning 6-3, 6-4. The same cannot be said for Nole who was tested in an exciting 3-set match against model/tennis player Feliciano Lopez. After handily winning the second set by a margin of two service breaks, Lopez was unable to keep that momentum going in the third and lost to Djokovic 6-3, 2-6, 6-4.
