Federer has impressed so far at Roland GarrosPARIS:- Roger Federer and 11-time champion Rafael Nadal target the French Open quarter-finals when they take on Argentinians Leonardo Mayer and Juan Ignacio Londero respectively on Sunday, while Britain's Johanna Konta looks to continue her surprise run. Next up for the 20-time Grand Slam champion is another unseeded player in Mayer, an opponent he has beaten in all three of their previous meetings while dropping only one set. "It's a good match for him," admitted world number 68 Mayer, who also reached the Wimbledon last 16 in 2014. I don't know if it was the nerves, the sun, that feeling that your legs are loosening," he said. He will need to do more than stay standing to have any chance of toppling Nadal in the pair's first-ever meeting.
