Tired Federer quits Halle Open tournament

Roger Federer withdrew from the Halle tennis tournament organized this week on reason that he feels too tired and overwhelmed after his great achievement at Roland Garros two days ago. The grass-court of the Gerry Weber Open was mainly used by Federer and other tennis stars as a warm-up before the big Wimbledon. The main favorite at Halle Open is now the Serb Novak Djokovic, who began his challenge with a win over the italian Simone Bolelli 7-5 6-2 in 84 minutes. Rafael Nadal still hopes in a recovery to be able to defend his crown claimed last year at Wimbledon.
