Roger battles through
05.05.2011 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger battled to get through to the third round of the Madrid Open as he eben had to save a match point to defeat Feliciano Lopez 7-6 (13), 6-7(1), 7-6(7).
"I got a bit lucky tonight. I had my chances early on, so it would have really been a tough loss," Roger said. "It was a tough match. I guess it will help me for the French Open, I did spend three hours on clay."
The two players were on court for almost three hours as Roger served 25 aces - his highest ever mark outside a grand slam event. Roger captured the first set of a very levelled match 15-13, did not manage to hold up in the second as he was beaten 1-7 and eventually came through 9-7 in the final set.
Roger will meet Xavier Malisse (ATP 49) in the next match on Thursday.
Uffff!!! over excitation !!!
I think u were stretched to the limit !!!
Despite u missed some concentration in critical moments..But ur ace and 1st serve were excellent & helped u to get htrough !!! Actually, yesterday, I hoped that u shouted after u won the match point
""" I AM ROGER FEDERER THE KING OF TENNIS JUST SHUT UP UGLY CROWD """"
Sorry I know it's not your athics. you will never do that but really the fans crowd was unacceptable & unrespectful
Feliciano clearly had one of these days where he is really difficult to beat. I hope Malisse will give you less trouble today and I wish you all the very best against him this afternoon.
