I'm humbled T.. Tennis star Roger Federer won his 233rd match at a Grand Slam tournament, matching the Open era record set by Jimmy Connors, and he couldn’t even remember whom he had beaten to get that first victory. “Well, I should (know), shouldn’t I?” Federer said after defeating Tobias Kamke of Germany 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 Monday in the first round of the French Open. “I know it was in Australia, but I can’t remember who I was playing.” He was then reminded that it was Michael Chang — That’s a whole lot of tennis for one man to play…and he’s still going strong. -TO Will Smith Plays with Roger Federer Roger Federer Surrounded by Ball Girls
