Roger advances to quarters

12.08.2010 | Tennis

Roger defeated Michael Llodra 7-6 (2), 6-3 today to set up a quarter-final clash with his conqueror at Wimbledon six weeks ago, Tomas Berdych.

 

"It will bring back memories, some not so nice," Roger said of the rematch against Berdych. "Hopefully I can get him back."

 

Roger needed one hour and 19 minutes to complete victory today. He did not manage to find his rhythm right from the start, falling behind 0-3. But he managed to come back to 3-4 and then eventually secure the set with ease in the tie-break. The second set posed no threat to our champ, even though he dropped serve again at 5-1. The two players have both been active on the ATP-Tour for over ten years, but - astonishingly - had never met in a major tournament before.

during the match, 1 of the commentators said that Roger had a friendly attitude pre-game, but a STEELY DETERMINED LOOK in his eyes, and it says it all: THE HEART OF A TRUE CHAMPION NEVER DIES!!!

Roger won his match against Berdych because he had made up his mind tht he as not going to let Berdych swagger out of the court with a win.He also won the match because he has heart and he loves his tennnis and respects it.I do believe he is glad to have
