MarioAncic brought his A game, but still couldnt get a passing grade against Roger Federer.
Ancic, an agreeable young Croat from Split, had returned to the grassy scene of his crime -- Wimbledon's Centre Court -- and now he needed protection from the guy he had mugged on that afternoon four years ago.
Naturally, he was looked on as a title contender, but Ancic trashed that hope, 6-3, 7-6 (7-2), 6-3, in the opening round.
Top-20 player MarioAncic pulled out of the French Open on Wednesday because he's still recovering from a case of mononucleosis that's sidelined him for more than two months.
Ancic probably is best known as the last player to beat Roger Federer at Wimbledon, upsetting the Swiss star in the first round there in 2002.
Ancic reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2005, his best showing at a major, and made the quarterfinals at the All England Club and the French Open last year.
