 PARIS (AP) - Even Roger Federer can use some luck at a Grand Slam, and he caught a break thanks to his next opponent in the chase for that elusive French Open title. Guillermo Canas loomed as a formidable challenge for the top-ranked Federer in the semifinals Friday, but Canas lost in the quarterfinals to Nikolay Davydenko — a much better matchup for Federer.
"Against me," Davydenko said, "he never lose."
The Russian's English may be broken, but his math is perfect: Federer has won all eight of their matches.
