And to think that that day, Roger Federer almost ruined everything… Monday, June 1, 2009. An ideal day of Pentecost for the Swiss, rid the day before of his pet peeve Rafael Nadal by the grace of Robin Söderling’s devastating forehand. For the Basel, who faces the German Tommy Haas in the round of 16, this is the royal road. The perhaps unique opportunity to win this damn Grand Slam which the Spaniard takes malicious pleasure in depriving him of. Especially since he remains on seven victories in a row against his opponent of the day.
