Madrid, Spain – Any discussion that involves World No.1 Roger Federer may seem somewhat passé these days, but the domination that Federer has imposed on the sport of tennis is almost so complete that no discussion can be denied.

In the third round, Roger Federer met Guillermo Canas, the only player to accomplish back-to-back victories over Federer this season, but Federer showed no mercy executing his revenge as he crushed Canas 6-0, 6-3 in just 53 minutes. In his 62 matches this season, it was the second fewest number of games Federer lost; in Montreal, he schooled Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-1 in the second round.

Next up for the maestro of tennis is Spain’s Feliciano Lopez in the quarterfinal. Bet on the ATP Masters Series in Madrid with BetUS Sportsbook; Federer is tipped at a whopping -3000.

: Roger Federer -3000 Feliciano Lopez +1000

Match Time: 02:00 PM EST

Tennis Prediction: Perhaps there is some comfort for No.42 Feliciano Lopez knowing he will be the crowd’s favorite in the quarterfinal. The Spaniard, who was born in Toledo, Spain, calls Madrid home; but any home court advantage is rendered insignificant before Federer for whom centre courts all over the world are a natural stomping ground. And stomp him Federer will.

Federer owns a 5-0 record against Lopez, a lead that almost assures him a comfortable accession into the semifinal over Lopez. Lopez, while an attractive bet at a price tag of +1000, is simply a long shot. Betting on the Spaniard would be risky.

Federer owns an almost impeccable record for the season at 56/6 and 6 ATP titles, of which three are Grand Slam titles and two AMS titles. As the defending champion in Madrid, Federer is the sure play.
