P18 Layout 1 SPORTS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2013 Federer already looking forward to ‘great’ 2014 BEIJING: Looking back is a waste of time, as far as Roger Federer is concerned. While tennis fans and pundits are obsessed with his below-par performance at the four majors this year which has left him in danger of missing the cut for the season-ending ATP finale for the first time since 2001, Federer has already put a positive spin on his 2013 trials and tribulations. “I always knew that this year, after a very tough year in 2012, the Olympics (and winning Wimbledon), was going to be a bit more quiet,” the Swiss told reporters in Shanghai on Monday after winning his first- round doubles match with little-known Chinese Zhang Ze. “I expected myself probably not to be as suc- cessful and as busy playing matches and tourna- ments. “My mindset now is, okay, next year is going to be a great year again where I’m not going to have that many points to defend, espe- cially at some very key moments where I consid- er myself a favorite. “For that reason I’m really looking forward to 2014 already.” Federer, who won the last of his record 17 grand slam titles at SHANGHAI: Gael Monfils of France hits a return to Tatsuma Ito of Japan during their first Wimbledon 15 months ago before scooping a sil- round match of the Shanghai Masters tennis tournament. — AFP ver at the London Games, went through the 2013 season without reaching a major final for Roger Federer Isner rallies to beat the first time since 2002 and his only success has been at the low-key Halle tournament.

At this crucial stage in the 2014 World Cup Africa zone qualifiers, the team knows that every minute of training counts. “We have tried to prepare them physically as well as mentally in the first week and now we are doing our tactical work and we will continue in the coming few days to combine the two,” said Ethiopian ‘Waliya Antelopes’ coach Sewnet Bishaw, as his team waged a practice match behind him.

No. 7 seed Feliciano Lopez and Joao Sousa meet after each man recently reached a final – the Spaniard at Kuala Lumpur (l. to Ferrer) and the Portuguese at St. Petersburg (l. to Raonic). The only other first-round match is No. 6 seed Marin Cilic against qualifier Donald Young, a meeting between the Top 2 juniors in the world 10 years ago. Young edged Cilic as the 2005 year-end junior No. 1, but the Croat has been the more successful pro, highlighted by his run to the 2014 US Open title. A pair of Japanese players round out the Center Court schedule in search of a quarter-final berth. No. 2 seed Kei Nishikori, a two-time Tokyo champion, faces a tall task in Sam Querrey. The 6-foot-6 American is 3-3 lifetime against Nishikori and has won a set in all six of their prior meetings. The final match of the day pits top seed Stan Wawrinka against Japanese wild card Tatsuma Ito, who defeated the Swiss star last year in Tokyo for the biggest win of his career.

Top seed Kevin Anderson returns to Delray Beach for his seventh straight Delray Beach appearance (14-5 record). The 2012 winner (d. Matosevic) has advanced to the quarter-finals or better in four of the past five years: 2011 (QF), 2012 (W), 2013 (QF), 2014 (F) and 2015 (2R). The 29- year-old South African, who lives in nearby Gulf Stream, has been bothered by a left knee injury and is playing for the first time since retiring in the 1R at the Australian Open vs. Ram.

Wild card entry Juan Martin del Potro makes his return to Delray Beach for the first time since 2011, and to the ATP World Tour for the first time since March 2015.

The 1973 introduction of the tiebreak reduced the opportunity for such records to be broken. However, among the Grand At the 2010 Wimbledon Championships Slams, only the US John Isner (left) defeated Nicolas Mahut (right) 6–4, 3–6, Open uses the 6–7, (7–9), 7–6(7–3), 70–68 tiebreak in the final set; the Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and Olympic tennis instead use the advantage set rules in the final set – in such a set there can be an indefinite number of games until there is a winner. This resulted, for example, in the record-obliterating Isner vs. Mahut match at Wimbledon 2010.
