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.

Pobre Nadal!!! Seguimos ampliando la diferencia con el. El número 2 te queda bien chaval.
Ayer, fue grandioso el juego de Roger ante un muy buen jugador que ponía pelotas velocisimas y en algún momento jaqueó a nuestro gran ídolo. Pero después asomó, el

Roger! That definitely was a nailbiter. That second round with the fall on to your hip made my heart skip beats, and almost made me cry. I so glad you were not hurt, but I was so nervous for you after the second set loss, I had to turn the channel for

Dearest Roger,

I forgot to say that I loved that little smile when Tursunov lost the challenge in the first set. I did not know how I would like these challenges but they have turned out to be quite interesting and they are done without waste of time.

I am so glad to see you through this match, and to learn that you did not injure yourself after the scary-looking fall--though, from the way you played in the third set you seemed to move very quickly and efficiently, so I gathered it was okay.
