Roger Federer Opens Wimbledon with Straight Set Victory
Roger Federer began his pursuit of a fifth straight Wimbledon title with an easy 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 victory over Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili on a Monday.
Federer, trying to equal Bjorn Borg’s five straight Wimbledon titles at the All England Club, had to withstand a nearly three hour rain delay before his match began but then took just an hour and a half to dispose of Gabashvili who was making his Wimbledon debut.
The world’s number one player extended his grass court win streak to 49 matches while increasing his Wimbledon streak to 29 straight.
