Federer Is
Surprised To Get a Death Threat
Roger
Federer is determined the death threat he was issued in the build up to
the Shanghai Rolex Masters will not affect his determination to end 2012
as the world’s no.1 ranked male player for the sixth time in his career.
“Obviously it's been a different type of
preparation and it's a little bit of a distraction - there's no doubt
about it. You have to be aware of what's happening around about you but
that is the case anywhere today with my fame and all that stuff. But
it's been fine. I'm happy I'm here and I feel I'll have a good
preparation to start on Wednesday or Thursday.”

ATP Player
Zhang Ze Would Like To Be China's Male Li Na
China's
Zhang Ze may never win a Grand Slam like his countrywoman Li Na did, but
given that mainland China has never produced a top-50 male player, the
22-year-old's run to the Beijing quarterfinals was something to get
happy about.
Zhang made history when he became the first Chinese
man ever to beat a top-20 player when he upset No. 14, Richard Gasquet.
