Roger Federer is getting ready for Paris by defeating Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-5 at the Masters Series Madrid. Unfortunately, Federer has a chance of losing his number 2 ranking to Andy Murray if he doesn’t have a good showing at the joint ATP and WTA event.
“It’s about playing well and getting ready for Paris,” said Federer. “It’s good to get the first match.”
Federer came out strong and took advantage of his opponents unforced errors.
The Swiss star hit 24 winners and took advantage of the Swedish player’s 25 unforced errors to capture four break points. Federer fired down 11 aces, including on the final point to clinch his place in the third round.
Andy Murray had a tough win against Simone Bolelli, 7-6 (9), 6-4. Next up for Murray is No. 16 Tommy Robredo who defeated Mardy Fish of the United States 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2.

Have no idea where you get your tennis news source from, because Roland Garros hasn’t happened yet. Unless you have access to the future.
Your article states – “Roger Federer is getting ready for Paris by defeating Robin Soderling 6-1, 7-5 at Roland Garros”
The current tennis tournament is the Madrid Open
No, I do not have access to the future. I do know that the Madrid Open is going on right now, since I’ve been blogging about it. I have no idea why I put Roland Garros. It must have been a complete brain dump.
Thanks for pointing it out.
