Roger through in four sets

02.07.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger has reached the quarters in Wimbledon after a 7-6(1), 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 win over Xavier Malisse today - his 33rd successive Grand Slam quarterfinal!

Roger seemed in trouble after taking a 4-3 lead in the first set as he had to leave the court for a medical time-out. After that, he went on to take the set in a tie-breaker before play had to be suspended due to rain for 40 minutes. The break seemed to suit Roger well, as he then broke Malisse three times in the second set, taking it 6-1. Set number three went to the Belgian as Roger had to drop his serve. Falling behind due to another break in the fourth set, Roger then came back to break Malisse in the fourth game to level and once more for a 4-2 lead to then wrap everything up nicely after two hours and 11 minutes. 

After his 850th career triumph today, Roger will either play Mikhail Youzhny or Denis Istomin on Wednesday for a place in the semis.

Wishing you all best & strength to beat Youzhny in three, Roger.
Stay cool & focus. Dictate your plays aggressively with precise serves and explosive strokes. Hoping that you & your team set up game plans & strategies to finish him quick to save your energy for next tough round. Anyway, please be careful with him. He is also tough to be beaten at this state.

Just do it, Roger. Just shine your Best. :))

You can do it Rog ! Take care of Youzhny today and take care of yourself. We are all behind you. As Connors said, tennis is 10 % physical and 90 % mental. Once you believe, there is no limit to what you can achieve ! Love you always Rog. Come on !!!!!!!!!!

Hi Roger, just been reading on the forum here that you practised today and your serve was fine and you could get down to 'low' defensive shots which would have been impossible for you on Monday....really good news. Hope it is fine for you tomorrow and that you have your compression top on to keep your back warm in our English 'summer'. Really wish you all the best of luck tomorrow against Mischa and that you come through in 3 easy sets. Loads of love to you all. GO ROGER. xxxx
