Perfect start into clay season

12.04.2011 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger defeated Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber (ATP 32) 6-2, 6-1 in the second round of the 1000-Masters in Monte Carlo today.

"I'm really just getting a feeling again for playing on clay here on Monaco and then obviously the next two weeks when I'm not playing any tournaments it's going to be really important for me to get a sense of how well I'm hitting the ball. I really want to get some good practice in to be in great shape for Madrid and Rome," Roger said after the match.

Our champion had Kohlschreiber running helplessly around center court and wrapped up the victory in just 50 minutes with his fifth ace of the match. Roger broke the German's serve early in both sets to give himself the advantage in each, and rescued the only break point against him with an ace.

Roger's next match will be on Thursday either against Marin Cilic or the winner of the match between Pere Riba and Potito Starace.

Excellent!
Roger I love your clay court game! You played beautifully today, as if you had been playing on this surface the whole time. Great movement, great focus, you hit all those impossible shots, beautiful aces I love that amazing effect you give them, a solid opening act!
And Roger honestly I don't know how you do it, but you get more and more handsome every time! I like your T-Shirt and the color, you look stunning.
The best for the next match! Keep going!
Take care.
I love you…
:)
