Roger cruises through

11.05.2011 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger defeated France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-4, 6-2 today to book a spot in the next round in Rome.

Roger secured an early break in the first set and had no trouble bringing it home 6-4 after 43 minutes, even though Tsonga had two chances to re-break. In the second set Roger saved seven of the seven break points he faced as he came up with great serves when necessary. After 83 minutes, Roger used his second match ball to win the match 6-4, 6-2.

Our champ will now play Richard Gasquet (ATP 16) on Thursday.  The two have met nine times before and Roger is leading the head-to-head 8-1.

hey Rog, i wasn't able to watch the match but i can tell from the comments that you played well so congrats champ and good luck against Gasquet. I believe that you have to raise your level tomorrow as gasquet is in a good shape and also he was training with you a couple of weeks ago so he knows you well; however i'm sure that you know how to beat him. Looking forward for tomorrow's match. Comeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

Well played Roger, Tsonga did help you quite a lot today but that's the way of things. Beware of Gasquet on clay tho', you should raise your level against him and certainly keep him pinned well behind the baseline. Lots of love and best wishes for tomorrow's match. GO ROGER!! xxx
