FRENCH OPEN LOOKAHEAD: Worth Watching Security for Federer

PARIS — Here's guessing French Open security guards will not allow a selfie-seeker — or anyone else, for that matter — to get anywhere near Roger Federer following his second-round match Wednesday.

Not after what transpired at the end of his victory in the first round: A teenager managed to make it out of the stands and stroll across the court to get to Federer, using a cellphone to try to snap photos.

It will be interesting to see whether there are any extra measures implemented at Court Suzanne Lenglen for Federer's match again Marcel Granollers, given the 17-time Grand Slam champion's criticism of security at Court Philippe Chatrier on Sunday.
