Olympic semifinals
Roger beat John Isner 6-4, 7-6(5) in the quarterfinals of the Olympic tennis tournament today - bringing him just one more win away from a first Olympic medal in singles.
"Being in the medal matches, at least I'll get two shots," Roger said. "That's why I looked at this match as a final. You can imagine the relief and happiness I feel right now."
Isner's serve kept Roger working hard, but our champ eventually found a way through in the ninth game of the first set. But Roger had to keep going strong as he still had to save a break point himself before then serving out the set. The second set also proved a tight run, going into a tie-break - with Roger getting a stroke of luck in just the right moment.
Our world number one will play Juan Martin del Potro in the semis on Friday. Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray will play each other in the other semifinal.
Roger, I could only watch 1/2 the match yesterday as the computer lab closed. I stayed away from the internet, tv :) I came back to the library to watch it this a.m. and WOW - amazing. I have been waiting for this moment. For you to win. I was praying and holding my breath and believing and knowing and expecting you to win. I even prayed at church! You rock. WE LOVE YOU. Can you hear us?! We are with you and lending you our positive energy and prayers and happy strength! GO WIN !!
Please have good health and happiness on Sunday.
We all love u and pray for u.
Love from Japan

You can free yourself from the pressure of winning the first set.
Winning the first set doesn't guarantee winning the match, but winning the final set does.
