Running on empty: Roger Federer playing against Germany's Dominik Koepfer in an empty Court Philippe Chatrier AFP/MARTIN BUREAUPARIS: Roger Federer battled into the French Open fourth round after a tense four-set victory over Dominik Koepfer in a tie played inside an eerily-empty stadium and which finished at just before 12:45 on Sunday morning.

After taking the opening set, Federer squandered a break in the second to eventually allow Koepfer to level.Advertisement
