Federer loses to Robredo in 4th round of US Open
By HOWARD FENDRICH
Associated Press
NEW YORK Right from the start,
Roger Federer looked very little
like, well, the Roger Federer who
routinely reached the final week-
end at Grand Slam tournaments.
In the opening game of his
fourth-round match at the U.S.
Open, the owner of 17 major titles
got passed at the net twice, sailed
a backhand long, then missed two
forehands to get broken. In the sec-
ond game, the man who has spent
more weeks ranked No. 1 than
anyone else dumped a backhand
into the net, then shanked two other
backhands several feet wide.
No longer the dominant pres-
ence he once was, Federer lost in the round
of 16 at Flushing Meadows for the first time
in a decade, surprisingly beaten 7-6 (3), 6-3,
6-4 by 19th-seeded Tommy Robredo of
Spain on Monday night.
I kind of self-destructed, which is very
disappointing, said Federer, who made 43
unforced errors and managed to convert only
two out of 16 break points. It was a frustrat-
ing performance.
Only the latest in a series. This caps a
poor-by-his-standards Grand Slam season for
Federer, whose record Grand Slam trophy
collection includes five at the U.S. Open.
He exited in the semifinals at the
Australian Open in January, the quarterfinals
at the French Open in early June and the
second round of Wimbledon against a
player ranked 116th, to boot in late June.
That ended Federers record run of reaching
at least the quarterfinals at 36 consecutive
Grand Slam tournaments.
Now, thanks to Robredo, Federer has
a new, unwanted streak: Two consecutive
losses before the quarterfinals at majors.
This is the first season since 2002 that
Federer did not reach at least one final at any
of the four Grand Slam tournaments. That
year also marked the last time Federer was
ranked lower than he is now at No. 7.
The story of my life: When I lose,
people are shell-shocked to see me play this
way, Federer said.
At age 32, Federer has struggled with
a bad back and experimented with a larger
racket head, and all along, hes
had far more trouble winning
matches than he usually does
particularly against the sort
of players he barely broke a
sweat against at his peak.
That this defeat came against
Robredo made it all the more
stunning. Not that Robredo is
a slouch. Hes been ranked as
high as No. 5, albeit back in
2006, and this is his seventh trip
to the quarterfinals at a major.
He made it that far at this years
French Open by doing some-
thing no man had done since
1927, winning three matches in a row after
dropping the first two sets of each.
But consider these other facts about
Robredo and this matchup: Not only was
he 0-10 against Federer until Monday, hed
managed to win only three of the 27 previ-
ous sets theyd played. And before Monday,
Robredos record in the fourth round of the
U.S. Open was 0-7. Robredo missed time in
2011 and 2012 because of left leg problems
that required surgery and his ranking fell
below 400th.
Roger, when he was No. 1, (compared)
to the Roger right now, Robredo said, hes
not maybe (playing) with the same confi-
dence, no?
Federer agreed with that assessment. He
also was asked whether Robredo tried any-
thing different this time around.
No, he didnt. Pretty simple. No surpris-
es, Federer replied. He didnt serve-and-
volley or chip-and-charge. He stood back the
way he usually does. He kick-served the way
he usually does.
Fans tried to get Federer going, sing-
ing, Lets go, Roger, lets go! or simply
chanting his name. He even got support
in Spanish, with one fan yelling, Vamos,
Roger! Youre the best! Heres the way
Robredo described the atmosphere: When
he walked out onto the court before the
match, it was like 2 percent of noise,
while when Federer arrived, it sounded like
a concert.
Heading into Monday, the buzz at the
U.S. Open was all about looking ahead
to a potential quarterfinal between Federer
and his nemesis, Rafael Nadal. Owners of
a combined 29 Grand Slam trophies, they
have played each other 31 times includ-
ing in eight major finals but never in New
York.
Federers loss means they wont fix
that gap in their rivalry this week. When
Federers match was ending, the second-
seeded Nadal was just getting going against
No. 22 Philipp Kohlschreiber in Arthur Ashe
Stadium.
Federer originally was supposed to
face Robredo on that main, 23,000-capac-
ity court, but hours of heavy rain in the
afternoon muddled the schedule, including
prompting the tournament to postpone two-
time Australian Open champion Victoria
Azarenkas match against 2008 French
Open champion Ana Ivanovic until today.
In the three womens matches that were
played Monday, No. 10 Roberta Vinci and
unseeded Flavia Pennetta set up an all-Italian
quarterfinal with victories. Vinci beat yet
another woman from Italy, 136th-ranked
qualifier Camila Giorgi, 6-4, 6-2, while
Pennetta defeated No. 21 Simona Halep of
Romania 6-2, 7-6 (3).
Azarenka or Ivanovic will wind up facing
Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia, who got
past American wild-card entry Alison Riske,
a 23-year-old who grew up in Pittsburgh,
6-3, 5-7, 6-2.
In mens action, No. 4 David Ferrer, the
runner-up to Nadal at the French Open this
year, edged No. 18 Janko Tipsarevic 7-6 (2),
3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (3). In the quarterfinals, Ferrer
will play No. 8 Richard Gasquet or No. 10
Milos Raonic.
Federer-Robredo was moved from Ashe
to much smaller Louis Armstrong Stadium,
which holds about 10,000 spectators and has
a lot less room separating the playing surface
from the stands. Federer, accustomed to
playing in Ashe, last competed in Armstrong
in 2006.

Saturdays Round Up
Lady Jays get first soccer win of 13
By JIM METCALFE
Staff Writer
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
LIMA St. Johns scored twice in a
2-minute span in the second half
to seal a 2-0 girls soccer non-
conference victory over Lima
Senior on a warm and humid
Saturday afternoon on the turf of
Lima Stadium.
These girls keep work-
ing hard. Weve had four tough
matches to open up the season
and weve been competitive
all four, St. Johns coach John
Munoz said. I thought we con-
trolled the ball with our passing
and movement; we just didnt
finish.
For Lima Senior coach Bonnie Wicker,
she still liked what she saw.
We have more numbers the last two
years than we had in a long time, she
said. Now its a matter of putting the
skills together. Were getting better and
thats the goal right now.
The Lady Blue Jays (1-3-1) had the
better of the proceedings but had nothing
to show for it as it was 0-0 at the half.
The Jays continued to have good
opportunities in the second half and had
a try at 29:20 as senior Lyndsay Mohler
tried to ricochet a corner kick into the
goal but missed wide left.
At 25:40, senior Lindsay Warnecke
missed from 10 yards.
Just 50 ticks later, the ball was tanta-
lizingly free in front of the Jays goal with
the keeper, Skylar Quintero (6 saves ver-
sus 9 shots on-goal), out of position. With
senior Jessica Koverman in hot pursuit,
the keeper finally kicked the ball away.
At 20:38, Koverman had
a 12-yarder denied by the
keeper.
At 15:42, the Jays had
a breakaway, with senior
Madison Kreeger with
the ball on the right wing.
However, her 10-yarder was
denied.
Kreeger finally broke
through for the Lady Blue
Jays. With a defender on
her left shoulder on the right
wing, she fired an 8-yarder
into the left side of the net.
Not much later at 11:36
Warnecke connected with Mohler on
a corner kick from the right side to the
middle, where she chested the ball in
from six yards.
The Spartans (3-2) had two chanc-
es after that: at 10:55, when Brittany
Kunkleman misfired from 12 yards; and
9:01, when Taylor Leshs 35-yarder was
lapped up by junior keeper Samantha
Wehri (2 saves vs. 3 shots on-goal).
The Blue and Gold had a few chances
in the first half.
Kreegers first try at 38:14 forced the
keeper to come up with a diving stop.
The same thing happened at 32:28 but
it was a more conventional stop.
Lima Senior let fly a 30-yarder that
slipped over the crossbar.
The Jays other best shots came at
8:38, when Kreeger had the keeper out
of position but Kayleigh Twining finally
kicked the ball away; freshman Kelsi
Gillespie pooched an 18-yarder that the
keeper deflected away at 7:58; and the
keeper stopped a near-own goal at 2:41.
The hosts had their final chance the
first half 6:29 as Jenna Miles fired
from the left wing but Wehri got the stop.
Were progressing every day, espe-
cially in such matters as give-and-gos
and the little things about the game,
Munoz added. We sustain our effort bet-
ter each time. I notice that when things
start to break down some, like we start
playing kick-ball, we get ourselves out
of it quicker. Those are the things were
looking for with so many young faces in
the lineup.
St. Johns visits Coldwater 5 p.m.
today, while Lima Senior plays Clay
Wednesday.

nipped St. Johns 17-25, 25-21, 25-18,
28-26 Saturday at Kenton.
We lost a very close nip-and-tuck
match, St. Johns coach Carolyn
Dammeyer said. I am seeing a lot of
great strides and improvement out of
these girls and a lot of character under
pressure-game situations.

Meyer wary of SDSU despite stunning upset loss
By RUSTY MILLER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS Even though San
Diego State was beaten by a lower-division
team in its opener, Urban Meyer believes it
is dangerous to take the Aztecs lightly.
The Ohio State coach made the case that
the Aztecs were on the wrong end of a 40-19
score at home on Saturday night
because they lost Adam Muema
to an ankle injury arguably the
best tailback well face all year
and that FCS member Eastern
Illinois played a great game.
Rocky Long will bring his
Aztecs to Ohio Stadium on
Saturday to face the second-ranked
Buckeyes.
After the opening-game loss,
he said, Thats as bad a performance as
Ive ever been around and obviously Im
responsible, so thats my fault. It was a hor-
rible, horrible job of coaching.
Meyer, however, said Long has always
been a terrific coach, including stops at
New Mexico and now San Diego State.
It was while Long was at his alma mater,
New Mexico, in 2003 that his Lobos hand-
ed Utah one of only two defeats Meyer sus-
tained during his two years with the Utes.
I coached against Rocky Long before,
Meyer said Monday. Hes an excellent
football coach, tough, and his guys play real
hard. They won nine games last year, which
is not surprising for his teams.
Most of Meyers words were directed at
his own team, which rolled to a 40-20 win
over Buffalo in its opener.
As expected, mistakes were made in
the first game. But the Buckeyes figure to
be a lot better with the addition of star cor-
nerback Bradley Roby and No. 2 tailback
Rod Smith, both coming off one-game
suspensions.
Roby, an All-Big Ten performer a year
ago, isnt guaranteed to start but will vie for
playing time this week in practice. Armani
Reeves, who got the call to replace Roby
against Buffalo, and the other starter, Doran
Grant, would also be in the mix.
Well get a lot of work in and rotate
those three guys with the first team, cor-
nerbacks coach Kerry Coombs said of his
practice plans.
Smith could see action backing up
Jordan Hall, who rushed for a career-best
159 yards and two TDs
on Saturday, or playing
tailback while Hall shifts
to the H-back spot. The
Buckeyes are still await-
ing the return of 2012
leading scorer and No. 2
rusher Carlos Hyde, sus-
pended for three games.
Rod is a commod-
ity to this football team,
running backs coach Stan Drayton said.
Having him back is definitely a plus for
us.
In addition to Roby and Smith, the
Buckeyes will are hoping they get help
from two other starters. Safety C.J. Barnett
was held out of the opener with a sprained
ankle and center Corey Linsley was limited
to less than 20 snaps as he continues to
recover from offseason foot surgery.
Quarterback Braxton Miller had a solid
game and a young defense also acquitted
itself.
All last week, Meyer preached that the
Buckeyes needed to get out of the blocks
quicker than they did a year ago, when they
frequently had problems early.
They more than met that objective
against Buffalo by rolling to a 23-0 lead
after a quarter. But then they watched as
the 35-point underdog Bulls twice pulled
within 10 points.
I was not very pleased when we had
the lull, Meyer added.
There were other glitches that are being
addressed. The offensive line surrendered
four sacks, with Buffalos brutish line-
backer, Kahlil Mack, dominating whoever
tried to block him.
His stock in the draft just went up a
little bit after playing against us. He did
a very good job. He manhandled some
guys, Meyer said of Mack. He could play
anywhere at any school in America.
Meyer said he still has extremely high
expectations for his offense.
I want to score every time we touch
the ball, he added. Im disappointed if we
dont score.
BUCKEYES BUZZ: San Diego
States media guide calls Brian Sipe one of
the greatest players in program history. Yet
for a lot of people, particularly NFL fans
living in Ohio, the same description would
fit his years with the Cleveland Browns.
Sipe is now the quarterbacks coach for
San Diego State, which will take on the
Buckeyes at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Ohio
Stadium.
Sipe was a star QB for the Aztecs
from 1969-71 before embarking no
pun intended, denizens of the Dawg Pound
on a terrific 10-year career with the
Browns.
Average in stature (6-1) but with a quick
release and great accuracy, Sipe passed for
more than 5,700 yards and 44 touchdowns
at San Diego State while going 15-7 as a
starter. Twice an Associated Press honor-
able mention All-American, he had seven
300-yard passing games under legendary
SDSU coach Don Coryell and was induct-
ed into the schools athletic hall of fame in
the inaugural class in 1988.
Picked in the 13th round of the draft by
the Browns, he went on to complete 1,944
passes in 3,439 attempts for almost 24,000
yards and 154 touchdowns. The San Diego
native was the NFLs MVP in 1980 while
leading the Browns to an 11-5 record.
He was, of course, the heart and soul of
the famed Kardiac Kids team which con-
tinually came from behind to pull out wins.
I was young. I remember going and
watching them play in the old stadium,
Meyer said Monday. I love it.
