Roger out in quarters
06.09.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 2
Roger could not make it past Tomas Berdych in the quarters of the US Open, losing 6-7(1), 4-6, 6-3, 3-6 to the world number 7.
"So many moments, I thought, ‘Man, it’s just not happening for me,'" Roger said afterwards. "It was just a very disappointing match for me."
Berdych absolutely controlled the opening-set tiebreaker and then he broke to begin the second set. Roger fought back in the third set and finally found his rhythm. The critical point came late in the fourth set: Berdych's broke Roger to take a 5-3 lead. At that point, all Berdych had to do was hold serve - and he did.
For the first time since 2003, Roger is not going to participate in the U.S. Open semifinals. Still, he will remain world no. 1 until after the US Open.
I was in EAT on Madison the day after you lost the match...There were a group of people talking about you and how great you are...They were very sad that you had lost the match....and were saying they would sell their tickets to the semi's and finals...meant nothing to them without you there!
We miss you already..but we know you will be back next year..!
watching you play in Switzerland when you were probably[have no idea] 800 in the world AND thinking this young man is someone special.A long and wonderful journey for me/us following that day when we travelled from London to watch Lleyton as we were all South Australians. Very few spectators but you signed a brochure for me.
We have watched all [or most]of your maches since that day--helps to know one from day 1 of their journey.
Wishing you the very best for remainder of 2012

conditioning was not developing into flu or whatever on the night of your match.
I am disppointed FOR you BUT NOT in you--could never never be.
You are back to no 1 where you belong,won Wimbledon the GS that tennis player wants to win--you have done it 7 times and won a silver medal for Switzerland.
You are playing well, breaking or making a few records on the way including being the no 1 for 300 weeks almost 6 years which is half of your playing career.
I still clearly remember
As you often say 'It is what it is"
Life with all of its nooks and crannies,ups and downs, twists and turns, your QF did not go the way that you had hoped . Those of us who play/played competitive sport know the feeling when,on some days nothing will work--shots that we normally make successfully, go out as they did in your case, Then to make matters worse the harder one tries to improve it can get worse.
My only hope that your 'sniffly' nose which you thought was the air
