PARIS — Roger Federer’s bid for a second French Open title was ended by a man who proved unbreakable.
Stan Wawrinka did not surrender his serve once in his 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (4) quarterfinal victory over Federer. It was the first time in 292 Grand Slam matches that Federer failed to break his opponent’s serve. The previous occasion was in a loss to Max Mirnyi at the 2002 United States Open, before Federer had won his first Grand Slam title.
Federer, seeded second in Paris, has never had his best results on the slow clay of Roland Garros, having won only one of his 17 Grand Slam titles here, in 2009.
