Federer feted for fair play

PARIS: Add another award to Roger Federer's collection. The 10-time Grand Slam singles champion was given the Prix Orange at the French Open on Thursday, honoured for exhibiting fair play and being a good sport.

Novak Djokovic of Serbia won the Prix Bourgeon as the `revelation of the year,' while Paul-Henri Mathieu of France was given the Prix Citron as `the personality that stands out ... the player with the most zest.' — AP
