YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Jenson Buttons final race before his sabbatical and probable retirement from Formula One ended after just 12 laps in Abu Dhabi.Having started 12th, Button had moved up to seventh position in the early stages at Yas Marina before his right suspension failed coming into the final chicane. The English driver crawled back to the pit lane to retire, climbing onto the front of his car and waving to the fans in the grandstand opposite -- who were giving the 2009 world champion a standing ovation.After pulling into the garage, a disbelieving Button laughed to himself and said: Weve never had a failure like that before.... Having climbed out of his car, he hugged his mother in the garage before being given an ovation by McLarens mechanics.Button is stepping away from Formula One next season and, despite an option to return with McLaren in 2018, he said this weekend he is treating this race as the last one of his career.Following the retirement, McLaren tweeted a farewell message to the popular Brit: Puma Shoes Wholesale China .ca!

WIMBLEDON -- There came a point Monday when you wondered whether Steve Johnson might have thought, OK, now I get it.Johnson denied any intimidation going into his match against Roger Federer, whom the former two-time NCAA champion idolized growing up. But not until facing the lethally precise and efficient manner in which Federer can take apart an opponent did the 26-year-old appreciate how overwhelming the task of playing him can be.You realize when he hits these shots and finds his way out of tricky situations with such ease, thats just what he does and why hes arguably the best ever, said Johnson, who fell to Federer 6-2, 6-3, 7-5 in 1 hour, 37 minutes.With hopes that he would join his close friend and part-time doubles partner Sam Querrey in the quarterfinals -- which would have marked the first time more than one American man has gone that far here since 2011 -- Johnson never threatened the seven-time Wimbledon champ.I feel like his level is as high as ever, Johnson said.The prevailing theory going in was that Johnson, ranked 29th, might have had a chance if he used his power to neutralize Federer with his forehand and serve, while taking advantage of his athletic ability to at least stay in the match.Instead, Federer dictated points, hitting 35 winners and only 13 unforced errors. He converted five of 10 break-point opportunities and 33-of-40 net points.Federer broke Johnson twice in the first set and answered Johnsons sole break in the third -- only the second time Federer has lost serve in the tournament. Federer then broke again to go up 6-5 and spoil any notion the American would soomehow rally back.ddddddddddddI think it was by far my best match, said Federer, showing no effects of the back injury that kept him out of the French Open.With the victory, Federer, 34, accumulated a few more records, most notably tying Martina Navratilova for the most Grand Slam singles wins by a man or woman at 306 against just 50 losses.He also equals Jimmy Connors Wimbledon Open era record with his 14th quarterfinal appearance.With Novak Djokovic out of the tournament, Federers chances of becoming the first man to win an eighth Wimbledon title is increasing steadily, according to Ladbrokes. As of Monday, Federers odds were 7/2, second to only Andy Murray (10/11).Federer, the highest-ranked player in the top section of a draw, has yet to drop a set in four matches. But Wednesday, he should face his strongest challenge yet in No. 9 Marin Cilic, who also expended little effort in getting past No. 5 Kei Nishikori, 6-1, 5-1 (ret.) in just 45 minutes.Federer practiced with Cilic when he arrived at Wimbledon and said it was a good indication of what he can expect next.He was playing great, Federer said. [It was] 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, serving, boom, forehand, serving, boom, backhand. Hes very aggressive. He blew me off the court at the [2014] US Open. I know what Im getting into.Hes really tough to play. Hes really improved his serve in the last few years, especially since US Open. Ive never seen him serve that consistently well. He can clearly do it here at Wimbledon, too. ' ' '
