Silver for Roger

05.08.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 3

Roger won his first Olympic medal today after losing against Andy Murray 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 in the tennis final at Wimbledon.

Roger started well, earining a break-point in the opening game, but Murray rallied to hold. And then, from 2-2  the match suddenly started slipping away for Roger as he lost every game until 0-5 in the second set. Roger tried to hang in there and did have his chances to break, including in the third game of the second set where he could not convert six break points but Murray finally also took that game. Murray eventually went on to end the match with three aces in series.

The silver medal is a special one for Roger, despite the defeat, it is the first Olympic one for Roger in the four Olympic Games he has participated in so far.

Your smile, so nice,
Your ace, like ice,
One play could kill,
Sadness, I'm thrill.

I hope I'll live
To see you play live.
I wanna buy ticket now,
But the prices aren't to low.

Whenever you play I'm having fun
What a delight just to hear you screaming "come on"!
I want to see you, but I better hold on.
I wanna smell you and to tell you I'm your biggest fan.

Today's your birthday and I hope you have fun!
Happy birthday, you're the force that makes me struggle on,
No matter how
