Round four at the French Open
Roger booked his spot in the last 16 of the French Open with ease today, defeating Janko Tipsarevic 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 in precisely 90 minutes.
"I'm very happy, really," Roger said. "I thought that it would have been a lot more difficult. The first set was the key. That gave me confidence and it made him doubt his game plan. It's very nice playing tennis in such a situation because I feel I have less pressure than 10 years ago when everyone was comparing me to Pete Sampras and I had not won anything yet. So it's more relaxed now."
Roger raced through the first set, securing it after a mere 19 minutes thanks to two breaks. There was a fair deal of rallying in the second set and Roger hat to fight off a break-point with an ace, only to break through himself later to 3-2 and finally take the set. The last set and thus the match clearly went to Roger without much of a fight.
Roger next faces either Stanislas Wawrinka or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for a place in the quarter-finals.
Today, it will be easy to win against your countryman - Wawrinka but don't think life is easy in Tennis today, this tournament is a GRAND SLAM !!! So, PLEASE concentrate on 100% serve, and play off-guard shots instead of returning in the center of the court and return shots to the extreme corners, don't count on your backhand, it fails usually ! Take care ! Point by Point, please !!! Good Luck !!!

No matter what, don't get bothered by your opponent or the man on the chair. One point at a time and you will get there. You know you can do it. then do it. Thank you, thank you.

commentators, so called fans in general.
Thank heavens for our wonderful & fair commentator, Fred Stolle, himself a GS champion, who yesterday mentioned that Roger had mono during the AO open but did not know it.Thank you Fred .
I wish Roger all of the very best for his 4th round match
Kindest regards

Re all of the press & rather boring comments that Tipsarevic almost beat Roger at the 2008 match is quite silly. We were courtside for that match on a very hot humid day. Roger WAS a very sick looking man when he walked on to the court,BUT he fought and fought for 4 plus hours [and drank buckets of fluids]
to win that match. My admiration for Roger and his fighting capabilites were present then, but were enhanced from that match onwards.
It taught me an enormous amount about the media,
