WIMBLEDON, England - For two superb sets Wednesday, everything looked so routine for Roger Federer, precisely the way it did for so many years at Wimbledon - and nearly everywhere else, too.
Little comes easily for Federer anymore, even at the All England Club, where he's won six of his record 16 major championships.

WIMBLEDON, England - Head bowed, Andy Roddick trudged off Centre Court, his purple Wimbledon towel dragging along the turf.
As the three-time runner-up at the All England Club headed for the exit, he passed some kids clamoring for an autograph from their front-row perch. Roddick paused and tossed his blue-framed racket underhand. Thanks to his latest earlier-than-anticipated Grand Slam loss, the American won't be needing it next week.
