As one of the all-time tennis greats, Roger Federer has done things on the court all us Sunday morning players could only dream of. Well, now he's doing those things...in the water.
The so-called "Big 4" men who have won 35 of 37 of the past Grand Slam singles titles — Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer — are all around for the second week at Wimbledon, joined by the new major winner on the block, Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka.
Roger Federer's streak of nine consecutive quarterfinals at the French Open ended Sunday with a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 fourth-round loss to 18th-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia.
Stanislas Wawrinka won the Monte Carlo Masters for the first time after rallying to beat Roger Federer 4-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2 in an all-Swiss final on Sunday.
The men's final at the Australian Open is set. Rafael Nadal continued his dominant streak over Roger Federer to reach the final for the third time, beating the 17-time major winner 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-3 to set up a championship decider against No. 8-seeded Stan Wawrinka (vah-VINK'-ah).
