 PARIS (AP) - Roger Federer prepared for a long day on court, even though it's been quite a while since he's had one at a Grand Slam. "I've got enough shirts for five-set matches in the bag," he said. "I only used one today, which was good."
Federer tied the Grand Slam record for most consecutive sets won, taking his streak to 35 by beating No. 13 Mikhail Youzhny of Russia 7-6 (3), 6-4, 6-4 Sunday to reach the French Open quarterfinals.
The No. 1-ranked Federer matched another Open era mark with 11 straight-set Grand Slam victories in a row. John McEnroe set both records in 1984, during Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
