Roger Federer remains confident heading into Wimbledon, even after losing on grass for only the second time in more than seven years. The No. 2-ranked Swiss, who came into the final at the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany, with a 76-1 record on grass since 2003, lost 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-4 to Australian Lleyton Hewitt in Sunday's title match. Federer's only other loss on the surface since 2003 was against top-ranked Rafael Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon final. "I was unfortunate not to come through today, but the loss here does not worry me in any way," said Federer, a six-time Wimbledon champion. "I thought it was a good tournament for me." -- Sam Querrey won an all-American final at the Queen's Club grass-court tournament in London, edging Mardy Fish 7-6 (3), 7-5. -- Top-seeded Li Na beat Maria Sharapova 7-5, 6-1 to win the grass-court Aegon Classic in Birmingham, England, and claim her first title this year. -- Kim Clijsters will make her return to the WTA Tour today in Eastbourne, England, after an absence of nearly two months. Clijsters, who injured her left foot while competing in the Fed Cup against Estonia, will play Yanina Wickmayer in the first-round
