Williams sisters can’t meet in US Open final
WIMBLEDON, England — Andy Roddick failed to restore his co-countryman’s record, Federer won by 5-7, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), 3-6, 16-1.
WIMBLEDON, England — This one meant so much to Andy Roddick. Because of the stakes: a return to Wimbledon’s semifinals. Because of the opponent: 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt. And because of the circumstances: a five-set grind that began under a bright sun and concluded in shadows, 3 hours, 50 minutes later.
WIMBLEDON, England — The last time they met, a Grand Slam title was on the line, the surface was clay and the weather was chilly and wet. This time, they played in the fourth round, the surface was grass and the conditions were sweltering. The result was no different, though, as Roger Federer swept Robin Soderling in straight sets. Federer outserved the Swede 6-4, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5) on Monday to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals — three weeks after downing Soderling in three sets in Paris for his first French Open title.
