Nadal too strong

Roger suffered another defeat in Abu Dhabi today as he lost to Rafael Nadal 1-6, 5-7 in the match for third place.

"It's about getting ready and feeling fine out there and enjoying a great atmosphere here and having the chance to play world class players," Roger said. "Trying a few things, see where you are at and see where the other guys are at. Obviously, I could tell Novak and Rafa are playing really well. That is not a surprise to me. I expected them to be in good shape for next year and they proved that to me this weekend."
