A clear start

29.05.2007 | Tennis

Roger was able to finish his match against Michael Russell (ATP 68) today after play was suspended because of rain yesterday. He wrapped up a straight-sets first-round win over the American: 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

Resuming second up on a sun-kissed Philippe Chatrier today, Roger - aiming for a first title at Roland Garros - was in just as clinical mood. And he was happy with the way he played in his opening match this year. “I was in a comfortable position going into today, so that was a good situation to be in,” he said.

“I played okay I thought. I served well. I didn't get much chance on his serve, and from the baseline I played well when I had to. So it was a good opening match for me.”

Roger will now face Frenchman Thierry Ascione (ATP 168) in the second round.

Roger,

You played superb on the first 2 sets. You got CARELESS on the 3rd and had to sweat a little for the victory. The conditions on the court seemed pretty bad and Im sure it became increasingly difficult to play. So thats okay champ, CONGRATULAT
