Miami Master

20.03.2007 | Tennis

Eliminated by Argentina’s Guillermo Canas in the first phase, Roger will try to bounce back this week at the second Masters Series of the season. Having won the tournament in 2005 and 2006, Roger will try to capture the title in Florida a third consecutive time.

 

Not having to compete in the first round, Roger will meet the winner of the match between America’s Sam Querrey and Russia’s Igor Andreev. Should he go on to the next round, Spain’s Nicolas Almagro (ATP 34) and France’s Richard Gasquet (ATP 16) could be up after that. Tommy Haas (ATP 9) or Spain’s Tommy Robredo (ATP 6) are possible opponents in the following rounds and towards the end Roger could cross paths with Nikolay Davydenko (ATP 4) or Croatia’s Ivan Ljubicic (ATP 7).

 

Roger’s early defeat and Rafael Nadal’s victory in Indian Wells only had a relatively small influence on the world rankings. The Spaniard moved up to Roger by 770 points, but still lies 2960 points behind him. Andy Roddick occupies the third rank at a fair distance.

The two defeats to Cañas is just normal. Cañas had nothing to lose on both occasions, while Roger had all the pressure of being No. 1 stacked against him. But I strongly believe that losing back to back to the same player will strengthen Roger's resolve

*sigh*
please don't look or even 'count' too far ahead.....no use & no good. just stay focus and take it match by match, 1 match at a time.
anyway, congrats Roger! you're now into the 3rd round. your next opponent might be Starace or Almagro.

I'm counting on you, Rog, to get to the final this time around, especially so that I can have a chance to see you play the semis on Friday the 30th. I know you won't disappoint me! Good luck, and may God bless you always!

Much love,
Joreen :-D
