GSTAAD, Switzerland - Roger Federer slumped to a stunning defeat against No. 55 Daniel Brands in the Swiss Open second round on Thursday, his third straight tournament exit against a low-ranked opponent. Federer had trouble handling Brands serve and big forehands on the clay surface in the thin mountain air. The German right-hander won 6-3, 6-4 in just 65 minutes. "I wasnt consistent enough in the end," said Federer, who failed on five break-point chances. "He was serving well and I couldnt do enough with my return." The 31-year-old Swiss star has now lost to players ranked Nos. 116, 114 and 55 in the past month at Wimbledon; Hamburg, Germany and now in front of his home fans. Federers own ranking of No. 5 is his lowest in a decade since he started his run of 17 Grand Slam singles titles at Wimbledon in 2003. Federer saved a first match point by serving an ace when trailing 5-3, and a second in the next game with a forehand winner. Brands, who took a set off Federer in a second-round loss at Hamburg when they first played on tour, then clinched victory with a service winner. "For sure the altitude has helped me," Brands said. "I served well and put pressure on him from the very beginning." Defeat spoiled Federers return to Gstaad for the first time since he won the title in 2004 — and where he debuted on the ATP Tour in 1998 as a 17-year-old ranked No. 702. Federer only came to Gstaad and Hamburg seeking extra matches after his second-round exit at Wimbledon to Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine. After a three-week break, Federer returned in Hamburg testing a new, bigger racket but was slowed by a back injury and lost in the semifinals to left-hander Federico Delbonis of Argentina. "Im happy that I was able to play because Ive had problems for some time now, already in Hamburg," Federer said. "But it didnt get worse during todays match." Still, Brands extended the streak of surprise losses, breaking Federers service to lead 4-2 in the opening set when he put away a simple overhead shot at the net. The 26-year-old German fired down 11 aces in the match, including two to close out the first set. Federer immediately lost serve in the second by netting a backhand volley, and had to save three break-point chances to avoid trailing 3-0. Federer rarely loses his opening match at a tournament: Thursdays defeat ranks alongside his round-of-64 exit in straight sets at Indian Wells, California, in March 2007 to Guillermo Canas of Argentina, then ranked No. 60. Federer is scheduled to return next month at the Montreal Masters, and then defend his Cincinnati Masters title before the U.S. Open begins Aug. 26. Third-seeded Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia was also eliminated in straight sets Thursday, piling up the unforced errors, including six double faults, to lose to Robin Haase of the Netherlands 6-2, 6-2. Two former Swiss Open champions advanced to the quarterfinals. Marcel Granollers of Spain, the 2011 winner, beat Federico Delbonis of Argentina 6-2, 7-5, and 2008 champion Victor Hanescu of Romania led Roberto Bautista 7-6 (2), 3-2 when the Spaniard retired with a back injury.

Williams, who had 1,298 receiving yards and scored 17 touchdowns last season, remains under contract to the Tiger-Cats for what would be his third CFL season in 2013. However, Williams agent, Dan Vertlieb, is attempting to free his client from the final year of that deal, presumably to pursue opportunities in the National Football League. While both Vertlieb and the Tiger-Cats have declined comment on the matter, it is believed the case may hinge on whether the Tiger-Cats can prove they offered Williams the option of committing for just two seasons instead of three. Williams contract was arranged by his previous agent, who was not certified by the CFL Players Association, another possible point of contention in the case..dddddddddddd The Tiger-Cats have offered to tear up Williams current contract if he agrees to sign a new one that would make him one of the CFLs highest-paid non-quarterbacks. But that invitation has been turned down. Williams dispute with his team went public a few months ago when he Tweeted to a former college teammate that he did not plan to return to Hamilton. The Tiger-Cats subsequently put out a statement saying they expected to see him at the start of training camp. The CFL used to allow players entering the option years of their contracts to try out with NFL teams during the off-season. However, the league eliminated that provision as part of its latest CBA, which means players such as Williams must fulfill the full extent of their contracts before shopping their services to NFL teams. It is unclear how long it will take for there to be a ruling on the matter.
