PARIS - So unbeatable for so long until the closing days of Grand Slam tournaments, Roger Federer is suddenly accumulating early exits. Wholesake Fake Nike Air Force 1 . Federers streak of nine consecutive quarter-finals at the French Open ended Sunday with a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (3), 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 fourth-round loss to 18th-seeded Ernests Gulbis of Latvia. "A lot of regrets," Federer said. "I just couldnt kind of figure it out." The 17-time Grand Slam champion had not left Roland Garros so soon since 2004, when he was beaten in the third round by Gustavo Kuerten. After that decade-old setback, though, Federer made at least the quarter-finals at a record 36 consecutive major tournaments, a streak that ended with a second-round loss at Wimbledon last year. Federer also put together record Slam runs of 10 finals and 23 semifinals in a row when he was at his dominant best. Now the 32-year-old Federer has bowed out before the quarter-finals at three of the last four majors. "I think it was the biggest, probably, win of my career," said Gulbis, who most certainly could have dispensed with the word "probably." Addressing spectators who sang Federers first name between points, Gulbis said: "Im sorry I had to win. I know all of you like Roger." The result fit with the topsy-turvy nature of this tournament: Both reigning Australian Open champions, No. 3 Stan Wawrinka and No. 2 Li Na, lost in the first round; No. 1 Serena Williams left in the second round. Gulbis now plays No. 6 Tomas Berdych, who eliminated the last American man, No. 10 John Isner. In another quarter-final, No. 2 Novak Djokovic will face No. 8 Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont. Wimbledon champion Andy Murray and No. 24 Fernando Verdasco set up a fourth-round meeting by finishing off victories in matches suspended Saturday night because of fading light. In womens action, 2012 champion Maria Sharapova ran off the last nine games to come back and beat No. 19 Samantha Stosur 3-6, 6-4, 6-0 for a quarter-final berth against 35th-ranked Garbine Muguruza of Spain, the 20-year-old who stunned Williams last week. No. 18 Eugenie Bouchard, from Montreal, will face No. 14 Carla Suarez Navarro of Spain in another quarter-final. The fourth-seeded Federers resume includes the 2009 French Open title, and he was a four-time runner-up in Paris to Rafael Nadal. But Federer was hardly in top form Sunday, making 59 unforced errors and getting broken twice while serving for a set. That included at 5-3, 40-15 in the second, when Federer sent an overhead right to Gulbis, who whipped a backhand passing winner. "I was lucky, I have to say," Gulbis said about that point. "I was really lucky." Said Federer: "Things got tough from then on for, like, a half-hour for me." He lost the last five points of the second-set tiebreaker, then dropped the third set, too. Another key moment came when Gulbis left the court with a trainer to take a medical timeout while trailing 5-2 in the fourth. As he walked out, Gulbis motioned to Federer, as if asking for permission to go. When Gulbis returned, some fans jeered and whistled at him, and he pointed to his lower back as if to say, "Hey, I was injured." At his news conference, Federer alternated between sounding a little perturbed about the lengthy intermission — and resigned to the idea that what Gulbis did was within the rules. "In the past, I guess, its been abused much more than today, but still, what can you tell?" Federer said. "He didnt look hurt in any way. But if you can use it, you know, might as well do it." Gulbis strokes had momentarily gone astray before that break, but afterward, the 25-year-old Gulbis once again displayed the big-hitting tennis that had many marking him as a future star when he was a teenager. He won 10 of the next 12 points, punctuating shots with exhales that sounded like growls. The fifth set was all Gulbis, who hadnt been to the quarter-finals at a major tournament since the 2008 French Open. Hes spoken openly about focusing more on enjoying the nightlife than perfecting his craft, and drew attention last week for saying he wouldnt encourage his younger sisters to pursue professional tennis because a woman "needs to think about family, needs to think about kids." In the concluding set, Gulbis raced to a 3-0 lead, thanks largely to Federer miscues. In the second game, Federer netted backhands and forehands to offer up break points, then pushed a forehand wide to give Gulbis a lead he never relinquished. After that miss, Federer grabbed a ball and swatted it in anger straight up in the air, a rare sign of exasperation from him. "Hes Roger Federer, but he also gets tight, you know," Gulbis said. "Hes probably going to make (that forehand) seven out of 10 (times). Other guys are going to make two out of 10. Mistakes happen."

Fangio interviewed last week, a person with direct knowledge of the meeting said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the session wasnt made public.Patriots offensive co-ordinator Josh McDaniels spoke Monday of his interview with San Francisco, calling it an initial meeting that hasnt moved any further.Always obviously privileged that anybody wants to speak with you about anything like that, McDaniels said Monday. At this point Ive moved on and hopefully can help us put together a great plan for our guys heading into this week.The Niners interviewed Denver Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase on Friday in Colorado and have had a busy initial stretch.They were able to interview. All focus right now is on the Broncos and, yeah, its kind of a dead issue at this point, Broncos coach John Fox said Monday.The pressure is certainly on York to find someone who can win right away given Harbaughs immediate success. The 49ers ended an eight-year stretch without a winning record or playoff berth in his rookie season of 2011.I think what made Bill Walsh so successful was that he was a great teacher, whether that was players or whether that was other coaches, York said last week of the late Hall of Fame coach. And you look at his successful coaching tree. I think if you look in the 49ers Hall of Fame down the road, I want to say as of 2012 or 2013, 29 of the 32 coaches in the NFL had either a direcct or indirect relationship with Bill. Fake Sneakers. Thats what made this organization so successful.Youre able to transition from one three-time-winning Super Bowl head coach to another two-time Super-Bowl-winning head coach and there were many other tentacles beyond that. What I want to make sure that we have is somebody that understands that level of teaching, he added. Understands how to get more out of less and continue to build an organization that wins both on and off the field.San Francisco also had been expected to meet with Seahawks defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn last week during the defending Super Bowl champions playoff bye. Former Broncos, Raiders and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was reportedly interviewed and has ties to the team as its offensive co-ordinator from 1992-94. Shanahan also met with the Bills about their opening and reportedly with the Raiders as well.The 49ers still had plans to meet with Arizona defensive co-ordinator Todd Bowles and Detroit defensive co-ordinator Teryl Austin. Bowles can be interviewed this week given the Cardinals season ended Saturday at Carolina.Fired Jets coach Rex Ryan also could be in the mix to replace Harbaugh, who was formally introduced as Michigans new coach last Tuesday. York called it a mutual parting of ways, though Harbaugh noted on multiple occasions, I work at the pleasure of the organization.San Francisco (8-8) missed the playoffs for the first time in Harbaughs four years following three straight trips to the NFC championship game and a three-point Super Bowl loss to Baltimore after the 2012 season.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver and AP Sports Writers John Wawrow in Buffalo, New York, and Howard Ulman in Boston contributed to this report.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
