Title no. 5 in Cincinnati!

19.08.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 3

Roger swept Novak Djokovic aside 6-0, 7-6 (7) today for a fifth title at the Cincinnati Masters. Roger has now also tied Rafael Nadal for the most Masters titles with 21.

"Breaking a record - always something special when that happens," Roger said.

Roger was extremely efficient today, making three out of his four break point opportunities in the opening set, not dropping a game himself. The second set was a closer issue, but Djokovic was unable to force a break point so the two took the set into a tiebreaker - with Roger claiming it nine points to seven.

This is a great boost for Roger ahead of the last grand slam of the season in the U.S. Open which starts on August 27th.

Dear Rogerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,

Perfect match, perfect rhythm & serve. HOWEVER, please concentrate on your SERVICE, REDUCE UNFORCED ERRORS, KEEP MENTALLY CALM & ACTIVE, KEEP YOUR BELIEF STRONG THAT YOU CAN STAY ON TOP AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, DON'T RETURN BALLS "OFTEN" IN FRONT OF YOUR OPPONENTS, AS YOU SEEM TO BE USING IT AS A SPRINGBOARD TO DIRECT YOUR SHOTS BUT AT TIMES, IT GETS BACK FIRED AT YOU, THROWING YOU OFF-BALANCE !!!

I really smile a lot more now, it is even sweeter because I smile without being in front of TV watching Roger plays but just any thought. Nothing is impossible, that motto is very true :-))

Congrats Roger! I'm so happy for you. Roger you really deserved to win this tournament and it was great a great performance. I'm sure this has given you a lot of confidence for the US Open. At least you have the week off to recover and to prep for last slam of the season. Best of luck! GO ROGER!!!
