World number one Roger Federer rolled over unseeded Jose Acasuso 7-6 (7/5), 6-2 in a fourth-round match at the $3.8 million ATP and WTA hardcourt tournament on Tuesday. The top seeded Swiss star has not given so seriously this deep into a season without winning a championship since 2000 - the last year he failed to win a title. The 26-year-old reached the fourth round here last year, but was stopped by Guillermo Canas.
Second seed Rafael Nadal, who lost to Federer in the 2005 final, also reached the quarter-finals on Tuesday by beating 15th-seeded Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-4, 6-4. The Spaniard owns a commanding 8-0 lead in the all-time series against Mathieu, who retired from their match at the Australian Open in January.
Like Federer, Nadal has yet to win on tour this season.
