Three sets and now the semis

18.08.2007 | Tennis

Roger had to struggle for his ticket into the Cincinnati semis, defeating  Nicolas Almagro 6-3 3-6 6-2.

 

Roger was unusually erratic as he dropped his first set of the week before recovering his poise to set up a clash with Lleyton Hewitt. "I actually think I played better today than I did yesterday," he told reporters. "The only problem was I had one really bad game which cost me the second set. I still thought my serving was good today and I hit better from the baseline."

 

Looking for his 50th career title, Roger broke in the sixth game but immediately dropped his serve before breaking for a second time to take the opening set.

Keep healthy, energetic and concentrated, you can defeat any opponent, Roger! Please don't let other thoughts confuse your mind. Just act yourself and play your own tennis, Cause you are already so perfect!

Your matches are frustrating to look at now. I know the weather conditions are unbearable but you need to stay focus. Eat some more vegetables like eggplant, it gives me lots of energy when I am playing tennis
