Having watching Federer playing tennis for a while, I haven't seen him playing doubles. This time, he and his fellow Wawrinka form a team to play doubles in Toronto. They have beaten French wild cards Julien Benneteau and Canadian Frederic Niemeyer 6-4, 6-4 in 62 minutes. Really a surprise!

It is said that Federer and Wawrinka will play doubles at Beijing Olympic Games. Thus, it is a good chance for them to practice in Toronto. Federer said that to win the champion of Olympic Games was much more important than Grand Slams. Wish he could win both champions of Men's singles and doubles.

By the way, Wawrinka was the champion of Toronto Master Series. It is very possible for Federer to meet his fellow again in men's singles. Very interesting to see how they play if they meet in the match.

XAVIER, the tennis matches are indeed not as exciting as Grand Slams. However, these two events are different. You fight Grand Slams just for personal honour and Olympic Games for your country's honour. Which do you think is more important? The answer is obvious. If Olympics is not important, those top tennis players won't attend in the Games.
