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.

Whew !!! Congratulations on a challenging win. What an exciting match, with a repertoire of well executed shots from both players (compared to other players that continually play baseline rallies and nothing else. Yawn). Wawrinka certainly gave it his best shot in the first two sets.

Your unyielding mental steeliness shown thru in the end. Well done. Stay hungry.

It is quite beautiful to see a single-handed backhand executed so well.

Good Luck in your match against Clic. With you always
