 KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) - Roger Federer glided toward the net, pouncing on another point. He bent to hit a running, knee-high backhand, dumped the difficult volley into the net and reacted with an angry, wordless roar.
Such outbursts are rare from the world No. 1, but then he hardly ever seems to miss a shot. Federer won his 17th match in a row Saturday and began a bid for his first Nasdaq-100 Open title by beating Olivier Rochus 6-3, 6-1.
"It's always hard to start a tournament," Federer said. "But I actually felt quite comfortable and quite confident going into today's match."
