PARIS - Early in the game Roger Federer twist his foot and he awkwardly tumble to the ground and his chances looked gloom he is in danger of his earliest exit from a Grand Slam tournament in nine years.
Good thing he was able to regroup and come back eventually from a two-sets-to-one deficit to beat 15th-seeded Gilles Simon of France 6-1, 4-6, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 Sunday in the fourth round to reach his 36th consecutive major quarterfinal.
"I didn't hurt myself or anything," Federer said. "But maybe I did lose that touch of confidence for a little bit, and then I was out of the match there for a bit."
