For Roger Federer, the menace did not come from the other side of the net. After dispatching Colombian Alejandro Falla in straight sets, the 17-time Grand Slam winner was about to leave center court Sunday when a young man ran down the stands and made his way to the Swiss star unhindered. Obviously not one second I'm happy about it,'' Federer said, adding that he received an apology from tournament director Gilbert Ysern.
