(BEIJING, June 3) -- Ranking number one on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) list is Roger Federer, who faced French hopeful Julien Benneteau in the fourth round of the men's singles at Roland Garros. It was not an easy time for Federer, because of his rival's strong tennis skills. Benneteau's highest rank in the ATP is 17, and he was a quarter finalist in the 2006 French Open. This time around, Benneteau twice broke Federer's servicegames, showcasing his athletic talent. Benneteau is one of five French players to compete in the quarterfinals.

Comparatively, Federer did a better job in this match. His first service point average reached 77 percent, including 7 aces. Although it took some effort, in the end, the ATP number one player took the game, 6-4, 7-5, 7-5.

Federer will face Fernando Gonzalez next. Gonzalez, who comes from Chile, earned his best record in the French Open as a quarter finalist. Federer competed against Gonzalez in the 2007 Shanghai Tennis Masters' Cup, where Federer was stunned by the Chilean, who defeated the veteran 6-4, 6-7, 5-7. Gonzalez is famous for his powerful forehand. Federer's next fight will be a tough one.
