Roger defeats Hartfield
28.05.2006 | Tennis
The French Open started on a Sunday for the first time. With an uncharacteristic flurry of early errors, Roger lost his first two service games to fall behind 3-0, then gradually found his form and beat qualifier Diego Hartfield 7-5, 7-6 (2), 6-2.
Roger needed more than 2 1/2 hours to eliminate the Argentine making his tour-level debut. "I prefer easy matches," Roger said. "It's always easier when you aren't under pressure, which was my case today, as everybody expected me to win."
"I didn't want to be the guy who starts the tournament," Roger said. "You play Sunday, first up, you feel like the tournament hasn't even started yet, and right away you're challenged. It's not easy."

Decent performance against Hartfield, it's always hard playing someone you've never heard of before. Very well played with Falla aswell, a very routine win, excellent. You can do this. Good Luck.
today was a magnificent match, beautiful game. You the good fellow.
You were great. I was happy, that I could see you in such way.
I'm sure, you'll this time manage to beat Rafael.
Ich drücke dir im Daumen!
Good luck!
i love you
Roland Garos!!!
Good going, Roger!
All the best with Falla tomorrow.
Love, light and luck,
