LONDON: Unlike love, which means
nothing in tennis, a week translates
to plenty in the game that begins at
love-all. An extra seven days on
grass - courtesy the new schedule
the men's and women's Tours
worked out - allows the pros heading
into the Wimbledon Championships
more tournaments, points and prize-
money.
Most importantly, it affords the rock
stars of the sport that all too rare
luxury of time.
World no.1s Novak Djokovic and
Serena Williams would second that.
For entirely differently reasons
though.

LONDON: Roger Federer began his
63rd consecutive grand slam
tournament with a majestic 6-1, 6-3,
6-3 first-round win over little-known
Bosnian Damir Dzumhur at
Wimbledon on Tuesday. The Swiss second seed's pursuit of a record eighth title at the All England Club could not have started more convincingly as he broke the Wimbledon debutant five times to draw rapturous applause from the
Federer faithful who had flocked to
see their hero on Centre Court.
The 33-year-old started off with an
unreturnable serve, threw in some
crowd-pleasing volleys before
finishing off Dzumhur with a love
service game to chalk up his 74th
victory at the citadel of grasscourt
tennis. The world number two will next face either Dutchman Igor Sijsling or big- serving American Sam Querrey.

LONDON: Two-time champion Rafael.Nadal's appalling recent run at Wimbledon continued on Thursday as he crashed out in the second round after being out-muscled and out-thought in four sets by an inspired Dustin Brown of Germany. The Spaniard, who has slipped down the sport's pecking order and was seeded 10 after a year of injury and below-par performances, fell 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 as Brown, ranked 102 in the world, unleashed a barrage of thunderous serves and ground strokes, mixed with clever drop shots to seal a shock victory. Brown, who had beaten Nadal in the pair's only other meeting last year, looked to rush the Spaniard from the start, blasting winners at every opportunity and squeezing Nadal at the net to cut off his options in an unorthodox style that had the Wimbledon crowd in raptures. Former world number one Nadal famed for his athleticism, could not find his rhythm among Brown's
variety of play, picking up the second set with a flash of his familiar passing shots and a helpful albeit momentary, easing in his 30- year old opponent's arrow like attack.
