Rough start for Switzerland
10.02.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1
Roger lost his first match of the Davis Cup rubber against America's John Isner 6-4, 3-6, 6-7(4), 2-6 today. The USA took a 2-0 lead in their World Group first-round tie as Stanislas Warinka also lost his match against Mardy Fish earlier in the afternoon.
Roger had a great start and only lost four points on his own serve. But Isner started to turn things around in the second set, when he increased the pressure enormously. Roger had little answer to his opponent's excellent serve, and the crowd of 7'000 people in Fribourg was stunned into silence at Roger's first loss in Davis Cup singles in eight years.
Roger and Stan are due to face Mike Bryan and Ryan Harrison in Saturday's doubles. The match starts at 2.30 pm.
You know you absolutely cannot lose this ...your home ground, your chosen surface, the roaring fans ...the will to win, no ??? I should be thrilled that the US is winning, but I am a traitor...I admit it,it's all Roger's fault ! ALLEZ LA SUISSE !!!
Nothing is finished yet. You have the chance, just fight and stay positive. You are far better players, you will win if you believe in yourself.
Wish you all the best and good luck dearest Roger
Go, Fedrinka, goooooooooooo!
Love, Mimi
