A clear loss against Rafa

02.04.2011 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger suffered a clear 3-6, 2-6 loss against Rafael Nadal in the semi-final of the Sony Ericsson Open in Key Biscayne.

"It just got worse and worse. And when I had a chance I simply played too weak. Today was nothing to write about, I'm afraid," Roger commented. "I know that I can do many more things in the game. I'm very excited by what's to come still."

It was no easy task playing against a very strong Nadal as the Spaniard never dropped his serve and converted four of five break-point chances, committing only 10 unforced errors. Roger counted a total of 31 unforced errors and shanked several shots.

Next on Roger's schedule is the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters which starts in a week and opens the clay-season for Roger.

Roger, you have passion in Tennis. I don't think you will quit. For you Roger, an old saying, when you loss, 'that's the time you learn to know how to succeed.

Perservernace, endurance and killer instinct.

Hi Roger,

The joker after the 24-0 win for the first quarter of the year, I knew he can't make it straight to the end, I'm always suspicious of his knee and rigth shoulder. I like him to play in order to meet Roger and Nadal and see how brilliant this guy is. He won't survive to the half of the year, that is my assumption.

So, who's surprised? You Roger, for sure not: Djokovic isn't playing at Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters, knees...
I guess shoulders as well...
I hope this means, you're playing Nr 2.

Mach das beste daraus!!!

Hey Champ, remember after the loss at Wimbledon last year, you expressed emotionally "I can't wait for Paris and Wimbledon to come around next year...". Now here you go, there're right in front of you... and you're in good form to do well. Just go with the killer instinct to counter the so-called unbeatables. Stay healthy physically and mentally focused. You're the best forever!
