Successful birthday

08.08.2007 | Tennis

Roger has won his first match in Montreal, defeating Croatia's Ivo Karlovic (ATP 34) in the tie-break in both sets.

The result might look like the match was rather tight, but Roger did in fact not face any major problems during his first appearance after his fifth Wimbledon title in series. He only lost a total of seven points on his own serve and won the tie-breaks clearly 7-2 and 7-3 on his 26th birthday today. Roger has now won all three encounters against the Croatian; the former two having taken place in Gstaad and Wimbledon.

Our star's opponent in the next round is Fabio Fognini (ATP 137). The Italian surprisingly defeated Britain's Andy Murray 6-2, 6-2.

Hey Roger, Just saw you demolish Fognini. Poor kid didn't have a prayer against you but I so love the kindnesses you show your opponents. No one can say one bad word against you and even those you beat to pieces still have only good things to say about yo

Congratulations, Roger :D I know this may be a little late but it doesn't really matter, does it? I hope you had a great birthday and, well, I'll probably be seeing you and Pete Sampras in November :D

Cheers from your youngest fan (I think),
