Federer Loses (Again)

Craig has the details of World #1 Roger Federer crashing out of the Roma ATP Master Series clay court tournament to unheralded Italian Filippo Volandri in straight sets 6-2, 6-4.

Federer made 44 unforced errors, compared to Volandri's 23. He made only two forehand winners, which most tennis commentators call "the best shot in tennis."

World #3 Andy Roddick also lost in Rome today, to clay court specialist Argentinian Juan Ignacio Chela 6-0, 6-4.

World #2 Rafael Nadal racked up his 74th consecutive clay court win despite going to the hospital for a dizzy spell earlier in the day by defeating Michael Youzhny 6-2 6-2.
