Roger roars into semis

15.10.2010 | Tennis

Roger produced a great display in Shanghai today, overwhelming Robin Söderling 6-1, 6-1 to reach the Shanghai Masters semi-finals.

Söderling managed to score the first game and take a 1-0 lead - but lost a total of eleven games in series from that point on. Roger played well, but it was certainly not Söderling's day. In the end, Roger smashed four aces to call time in just 54 minutes.

Roger now faces a semi-final showdown with Novak Djokovic - a match that will decide on who will be placed second in the world ranking. Djokovic last won against Roger at the US Open a few weeks ago. The other semi-finalists are Juan Monaco and Andy Murray.

Novak went to the semis last year in Shanghai against Davydenko, so he has points to defend, but I don't know how many you get in the semis vs. finals etc.

Novak was defeated in semi s last year too so he remains where he is :)

I do not know (re: the number two) as it depends on the points from last year too. Roger didn't play so he doesn't have points to defend from last year, but probably Novak does?
