Gerry Weber Open 2012
11.06.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1
After the end of the clay season it is finally time for the green surface! Especially with the Olympics coming up - on the holy lawn in Wimbledon - this year's grass season is certainly a highlight in Roger's career. He will compete in the Gerry Weber Open in Halle this week.
After a first round bye, Roger either plays Germany's Florian Meyer (ATP 35) or America's Tim Smyczek (ATP 206). In the quarter-finals, our champ could then meet Canada's Milos Raonic (ATP 22). A possible semi-final against Alexander Dolgopolow (ATP 19) could then be the last step before a final clash with Rafael Nadal.

Be yourself, play with joy as you always play.
Always,
I keep forgetting, but listen: Start being a bit aggressive. Your shots are returnable as you rarely hit them in the corners and please hit them hard! Good Luck !
Give your shots a direction, don't just return them to the middle, notice what Djokovic does!!! That's a better way to play & win and not just depend on your good server. Good Luck in this tournament. Djokovic and Nadal are the ultimate test for you. No one else!!!
Just get one of those classic white outfits, nice and classy like yourself.
Here's to your wonderful grass season in 2012! This is your home and this is where you shine most. Please show us your beautiful game once again. I don't want to see any more of the match between brute forces.
It is so nice of the tournament organizers and the city of Halle to rename the street after you! One day I would like to stay at the Hotel on your street and watch you play day after day.
All the best,
Keiko
