Roger in third in Toronto

11.08.2006 | Tennis

Roger advanced to the third round in Toronto with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-0 win over Dmitry Tursunov of Russia. He will now face Xavier Malisse of Belgium, who defeated Thomas Johansson of Sweden 7-6 (7), 6-3.

 

Roger rolled his right ankle in a hard fall against Tursunov but said he was uninjured. "It was definitely a tough match against a guy who has become confident," Roger said. "I was happy the way I closed out the third set because it was really getting tough in the second."

 

Roger has not met Xavier Malisse for four years. Before that period they played each other a total of seven times, Roger winning six of the matches. Malisse has reached two tournament finals this year (Adelaide and Delray Beach) and qualified for the semi-finals in Indianapolis.

Oh, God, I thought that a heart attack came to me. I underwent the entire match. I think that after fall your mind was in not returning to fall.
Then, your concentration wasn’t the necessary for this match. Malisse was deeply involved in the match.

The match was so tense that I didn't dare to watch the last ball of the 2nd set and also the 3rd match. I'm sorry. But it's incredible that you played so well in the
