Title no. 71!

19.02.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 3

Roger showed a great display today to defeat Juan Martin del Potro 6-1, 6-4 in the final of Rotterdam to secure his first title of the year and 71st career title.

"This title marks a great start to the season," Roger said. "My team made a lot of sacrifices. It's been an amazing week for us. The first set I really was rock solid, while in the second it was more tight and he had his chances," Roger said. A break in the sixth game of the second set was enough edge for Roger to bring home the victory and his second title in Rotterdam after 2005.

After a week's break, Roger will continue his quest for 2012 titles at the ATP-500 tournament in Dubai which starts February 27. He reached the final there last year, but was defeated by Novak Djokovic.

Hello Roger,

Great tournament. I could only watch the start and the final set of the Davydenko match, because it wasn't exactly going your way in the first set and a half. Glad you prevailed and then went on to win the tournament. Congratulations.

Good luck on your next match.

Roger we are all so happy for you because of the way you have taken over and have been playing so beautifully. The majority of your fans I am sure all agree that you are back in the saddle so to speak and that we can expect great things from you during this tennis season. Godspeed dear Roger. We all love you dearly.

What I have learnt from this RF win is that in life all that matters is how positive you are about yourself. The way he has rebounded back from his loss in AO/Davis Cup just goes on to show how determined he is to reach his goals.

As he rightly said once: There maybe tough moments maybe for, you know, an hour or a couple of days potentially, but life goes on and you get a second chance! (Roger Federer & His Secret of Success? http://bit.ly/ySgH7K ). Just love the way he has come back and broug
