Marcos Baghdatis takes out Roger Federer in three sets
Category Featured, Tennis | Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
Roger Federer does this. He hits a crosscourt forehand that seems headed for out of bounds until it touches the sideline. The shot comes all of a sudden just when the opponent, say, Marcos Baghdatis on a Tuesday night in the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, thinks he might have a chance to trouble the world’s top-ranked player before a tournament gets to its biggest moments.
Federer usually doesn’t do this though. He doesn’t usually win a set then throw in huge handfuls of unforced errors. He doesn’t usually give himself extra work. He doesn’t usually lose.
