Madrid, May 9 (EFE).- Roger Federer came up well short in his bid to defend his title at the Mutua Madrid Open, losing 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 in Thursday's third round to Japan's Kei Nishikori.
The Swiss great, who had not played a tournament since mid-March at Indian Wells on hard court, was noticeably rusty during the one-hour, 35-minute match and largely beat himself with unforced errors from the baseline.
