So far, the year has been pretty challenging for the Swiss maestro as this is perhaps the longest Federer has been without a title. Only Federer has the ability to solve the Spanish mystery and with time running out of his hands, he better be quick in doing so...! His opponent today, American Andy Roddick, has had impressive performances in Miami and several other ATP World Tour 250 events and will try to better his previous attempt where he stretched Federer to three sets.
