Roger wins Swiss encounter

11.10.2012 | Tennis, Starseite 2

Roger won his second match at the Shanghai Rolex Masters against his friend Stanislas Wawrinka 4-6, 7-6, 6-0. The victory means that Roger has now secured his 300th week as world no. 1!

Wawrinka had a better start into the match, capturing the first set. The second set proved a tough fight between the two friends, with Roger eventually winning the tie-breaker. In the third set, Wawrinka was unable to match Roger's game.

With today's victory, Roger set a new milestone in tennis history: he will be celebrating his 300th week as world no. 1 on Monday.

On Friday, Roger will meet Croatia's Marin Cilic (ATP 16) in the quarter final. Roger leads the head-to-head 3-0.

Great job Champ! First man to ever reach 300 weeks at No 1. I don't think anyone in the near future can touch that. Just like your other incredible gems of records. Also the post match interview is fantastic.

I liked your post match interview. You said the media, the people did not get over that you play tennis because you love to play, not the win etc. I totally agreed with you. However, we fans love you and of course hope you can win every time. We also support you every time even you do not have a good day. All the best to your match to Cilic. He fought back hard too at the same time as you played.
