Federer beats old doubles partner to open Wimbledon

Thanks for the memories.

Roger Federer beat his former doubles partner, Dominik Hrbaty of Slovakia, to start his bid for a sixth consecutive Wimbledon title.

Federer cruised to a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win.

It's the same dominance he has shown all season on grass. He has not dropped a service game on grass this season and extended his winning streak on grass to 60 matches.

Of course the real test will be if he faces Rafael Nadal who destroyed Federer (6-1, 6-3, 6-0) in the French Open finals earlier this year.

Federer is ranked #1 in the World, Nadal #2.
