Quite a comeback

12.11.2006 | Tennis

Roger dropped the first set but won 10 of the last 11 games today to begin his Masters Cup campaign over holder David Nalbandian 3-6, 6-1, 6-1.

 

"I had to make him hit some errors - he wasn't doing that at the beginning," Roger commented. He lost his serve three times in a shaky opening set at the Qi Zhong stadium before throttling up his level in dramatic fashion. Ending the year atop the rankings for a third consecutive season, our star broke to start the second set against the Argentine who beat him in five sets at the season wrapup a year ago.

 

Roger  stormed to victory in one hour, 27 minutes, notching nine aces and 30 winners. It was Roger's 13th victory in only his fifth appearance at the Tennis Masters Cup.

I watched the match. U played great tennis and first set wasnt too bad either apart from that double fault on set point but it happens some times as u r also human. Best of luck for the next match.

To the Cross-Eyed Flag reader- this is the Australian flag though my native country is New Zealand. Aotearoa means Land of the Long White Cloud.


Kia Ora Roger,
Congratulations for your first up game and win against David. Having seen the live score

For the Cross-Eyed Flag Reader - this is the Australian flag, however I'm a New Zealander, and Aotearoa means the Land of the Long White Cloud.

Kia Ora Roger,
Firstly, congratulations on your first up game and win against David after a couple of weeks

I was the first one to post this message to Roger on the previous page first thing in early early a.m. I'm copying this message to you again on this new page:

Congratulation on the win against Nalbandian. I stayed up late simply keeping vigil in front
