Roger kicks off in Paris
Immediately after the final in Shanghai and his titles in Stockholm and Basel, Roger is going to play the Masters 1000 in Paris-Bercy this week. The furthest he has ever come in Paris so far are the quarter finals.
In absence of the injured world number 1 Rafael Nadal, Roger has been seeded as number 1.
Roger begins the tournament against France's Richard Gasquet (ATP 28), who he dominated six times in seven matches. He could then meet Radek Stepanek (ATP 41), who he defeated in Basel in two sets or Nicolas Almagro (ATP 16). In the quarter-finals, he could cross the path of Austria's Jürgen Melzer (ATP 11). Should Roger make it through to the semi-finals for the first time, he could set up a clash against Andy Murray (ATP 4) - against who he had lost in Shanghai.
You're playing beautiful tennis Roger. Seize the hour! Relaxed but ruthless - way to go.
Can't believe the way Djok behaved at Basel presentation! What cheek to try to patronise Roger like that. How dare he!
Allez Bonne Chance pour la semaine. Remember you've nothing to prove
Ooh I hope you have recovered sufficiently Roger, and that you don't run out of gas well hopefully not against Gasquet, and yes it certainly would be nice to see you go all the way. I'm hoping to catch your game this evening so all the best, Kia kaha (Forever Strong) and in Health and Happiness,
Alice
Love you always
