Roger beats Ljubicic to retain Miami title
Roger beat Ivan Ljubicic in three tight sets 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-4) 7-6 (8-6) to win the Nasdaq-100 Open for the second straight year.
The world number one won the pivotal points, such as when he faced set point in the final tiebreaker at 5-6. He hit a pair of service winners, then spun a return off the net cord. It dribbled at the foot of the net on Ljubicic’s side of the court for a winner and the championship. He apologized for the manner of victory as he approached Ljubicic at the net.
Roger improved to 10-3 lifetime against Ljubicic, whom he defeated for a seventh straight meeting, extending his winning streak in the ATP Masters Series to 24 matches and on American soil to 48 matches.
He became the first man to win titles at Indian Wells and Key Biscayne back-to-back in consecutive years.
"I was extremely happy with the way I played," Roger said. "To do back-to-back at Indian Wells and Key Biscayne is unbelievable. I never thought I would do it again."
Roger improved to 28-1 overall this year, with the only loss to Rafael Nadal in Dubai.
Go ahead Federer.
Congratulations for defending your Nasdaq Open title. I was so nervous, the match was so close. But you played the big points exceptionally well. I dont know how you do that, thats your greatness. I admire you so much for
You`ve done well after the defeat with Nadal. After that I told that you were going to begin a cycle which would culminate with the Roland Garros trophy. I believe that! Hope you rest now and then maintain the form in the clay season.
