    No point in skipping clay season for Federer

    The whole idea was to guarantee victory at Wimbledon, and while that goal was achieved brilliantly last year, this year was an utter fail. If he can't win Wimbledon totally fit and refreshed after a lengthy break with plenty of grass training, losing to one of his former pidgeons, then he...
