PARIS -- Dumaan muna sa butas ng karayom si Ro­ger Federer bago talu­nin si local favorite Jeremy Chardy, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 6-4, patungo sa third round ng Paris Masters.

Pinalakas ng 17-time Grand Slam champion na si Federer ang kanyang tsansang makamit ang No. 1 ranking bago matapos ang taon.

Nauna nang tinalo ni Chardy si Federer sa clay court sa Rome Masters ba­go ang kanilang ikalawang paghaharap ngayong taon.

Ginamit ni Federer ang kanyang crosscourt forehand para talunin si Chardy sa third set.

“Chardy has made it hard for me in the past. I thought it could be tough, and it was,” sabi ni Federer, lalabanan si Frenchman Lu­cas Pouille sa third round. “As the match went longer, the better I actually started to play and created more opportunities.”

Sumabak ang 33-anyos na si Federer sa Paris Open na may 12-match winning streak at nagkampeon sa mga torneo sa Shanghai at Basel.
