Roger stunning in opener

28.08.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 1

Roger produced a great display in the opening round of the US open, dismissing Donald Young (ATP 81) 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

"I think it was a good start in difficult conditions," Roger said. "He was a talented opponent and I'd never played him before but it was good."

Our champion did not get distracted by the windy and humid conditions at Flushing Meadows, clearly dominating the match and making it clear that he was aiming for a fast first-round victory.

After 3-3, he took all further games in the opening set. Improving even more, the second also went onto his account with ease 6-2. Young did manage a break in the thrid set, but Roger finally secured the match upon his third match-ball after 94 minutes of play.

Roger will now play Germany's Björn Phau (ATP 83).

Roger, well done until now, it is good you had some rest due to Fish`s abandonment but nowe is time to be extra focus, three more games with extreme focus and not allowing chances and taking yours, being patint and there are really good chances you`ll claim GS 18. Best of lucks, always cheering.

ROGER:

ME ALEGRO MUCHO DE ESTE ESTUPENDO TRIUNFO CONTRA PHAU, JUAGASTE MUY BIEN SOBRE TODO EL TERCER SER, FUE MAGNIFICO. SOLO UNA COSA ROGER, HAY QUE MEJORAR UN POCO TUS SAQUES Y COMETISTE ERROR ESCUANDO DEFINIAS EN LA RED.
PHAU ES UN JUGADOR QUE SE MUEVE BASTANTE, TOMA ESO EN CUANTA PARA TU PARTIDO CONTRA VERDASCO, ME ATREVO A DECIR ESTAS COSAS PORQUE ES LO QUE VI, Y ESPERO QUE CONTRA VERDASCO NO COMETAS ESTOS ERRORES. SE VIO QUE ARRIESGASTE BASTANTE, EL MARCADOR LO PERMITIA.
BIEN HECHO!!!
