RARE NIL FOR SUPERSTAR

IN 429 Grand Slam matches, yesterday was just the third time Roger Federer has lost a set 6- 0. The others came in his very first Grand Slam match, against Pat Rafter at the French Open in 1999 – he lost 5- 7 6- 3 6- 0 6- 2 – and then nine years later in the 2008 Roland Garros final against Rafa Nadal, losing 6- 1 6- 3 6- 0.
