A clear victory and now round three

28.06.2006 | Tennis

 

Roger simply outclassed a shell-shocked Henman, cruising to a 6-4 6-0 6-2 victory in just one hour 24 minutes on Centre Court in Wimbledon today.

 

The British number three won just five points in the second set as he bowed out in the second round for the second year in succession.

It was Roger's 43rd successive win on grass and surely nothing will stop him from claiming a fourth straight title next week, joining Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras as the only players to do so in the open era.

 

Henman had been looking forward to playing a match at the All England Club without the usual massive burden of expectation, and was rated a 10-1 shot for victory despite a 6-4 winning record against Roger. That included a quarter-final victory here in 2001, but since then Roger has won three straight titles in SW19 and his first-round win over Richard Gasquet surpassed Borg`s record of 41 straight wins on grass.

Une triomphe superbe, Roger!!

I knew that you would have a good victory over Tim, but I didn't expect it to be this good! Well done! Sometimes it's just a matter of waiting for the other player to wilt and then putting your foot on the accelerator.

Dearest Roger,

That was fantastic - your demolition of poor Timmy. He did not know what hit him! Your game was so amazing! All this talk of hard draw has made you even stronger and more determined. You give us so much pleasure Roger with the way you pl

Nothing to say really Roger - it was as I expected. I think you were very generous in your post-match interview to Tim - it must have been difficult to play a friend, not to mention 13000+ fans rooting for him, when normally majority of the Wimbledon fan
