First Round, Roger?

Bye Bye?

Say it ain't so! For what seems like the first time ever, if not in a LOOOOOOONG time, Roger Federer LOST A FIRST ROUND MATCH!

AHHH! We can hear the sharp intakes of breath around the globe! Wha, wha, what?

The Italian Open started the other day and BAM, Roger was IN then OUT!

Roger Federer, unarguably the GREATEST TENNIS PLAYER OF ALL TIME, is only 7 weeks away from another world record. Roger went on to break Pete Sampras' record of 14 Grand Slam titles and currently has 16. Now he is poised at the edge of another unbelievable run - as of today, Roger has been the world's #1 seeded and ranked player for 280 weeks. Pete was Numero Uno for 286 weeks.

Roger Federer can lose the next 5 tournaments, but because he has accumulated so many points, he will continue to be #1 for more than 6 weeks to come. And he's not going to lose the next 5 tournaments! Sorry, Pete!
