A last victory before the first big tournament
13.01.2006 | Tennis
Roger was given a preview of his potential Australian Open third-round clash when he just squeezed past Mirnyi, leaving his best until the very last before winning 6-7 (1-7) 6-4 7-6 (7-1).
"Players like him, they've got great serves, they're great athletes, at the net especially but I think at the same time it's a great challenge to always keep on passing. You're always going to see nice points and always a lot of winners and I enjoy that actually."
He plays unknown wildcard Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan in the first round of the Australian Open. Roger is really looking forward to the first big tournament this year. "There's obviously nerves always involved and a lot at stake for me."

love you Roger

The nerves will give you great energy. You have your rhythm now. You're ready to play!
We are all cheering you every step of the way.
Here's to a great Australian Open!
Good luck with Australian Open and your young opponent. You have to be fully alert against him because he is unknown to you. I know you have been trying to find out about him and I hope by now you know all about this young man. He says
wow, I´m so glad because the next week starts de AO
We know that you will be the best on Australia.
GO!
