Another loss against Djokovic

20.03.2011 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger suffered another defeat against Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells today, losing the semi-final 3-6, 6-3 and 2-6. Roger will now drop to number 3 in the world ranking as Djokovic takes his place.

The Serbian simply played too well in the opening set today as Roger trailed behind 3-6. But Roger then showed all his experience to reel in the younger opponent to level the match by taking the second 6-3. As the match went on both players displayed sublime skills but it was Djokovic who held his nerve in the end, winning the big points to secure to progress to the final after 126 minutes.

It is the ninth defeat for Roger against the Serbian in their 22nd match - our champ has lost all their three encounters so far this year.

 

Later on, Roger and Stanislas Wawrinka were also not able to celebrate a victory as they lost the final against Alexandr Dolgopolov and Xavier Malisse 4-6, 7-6(5) and 7-10.

Comment that write "bladerunner66" is very very ugly. More than ugly.. I'm from Serbia and I love Roger 10000000x more than Djokovic and all players together. Because Djokovic is Serb, "bladerunner66" don't have rights to write that stupid and racists comment about Serbian people. And for other people. This is not place for that! Roger is greatest tennis player ever and big humanist, UNICEF's Goodwill Ambassador and gentlman after all. Shame for you "bladerunner66". ROGER GOOD LUCK IN MIAMI!

Dear people employed at rogerfederer.com, is there anyone who is responsible for controlling what the posts are about?? In my opinion, the post I am quoting here is below your and R. Federer's level.

Again, the speech used in quoted post is outrageous...at least to say...

Beginning of the post:

Rog, Your are the man, the Big Man always. Forget the Serb, he's an uncouth poseur. A member of a sub-human species: a knuckle dragger."

??RF style??

No worries, Roger. You are just mentally tired. It takes a lot of energy to focus throughout a match. Djokovic will be tired at some point jsut like Andy Murray. Have a good rest and try to win the next match. Your tennis skills are unparallel. Perhaps, try to change your strategy and take risks. Your opponents try to overpower you. That's the only way they can get an upper hand.
