Roger out in Miami

04.04.2008 | Tennis

Roger lost his quarter-final against American Andy Roddick 6-7, 6-4, 3-6 at the Miami Open.

 

It is the only the second defeat for our star in 17 career meetings against Roddick."I always said it's tough to play against Andy, you know, with that serve," said Roger, who was beaten with 17 aces. "He's always going to have a chance. That's why I'm quite amazed about my record against him."

 

"I think I did well to hang in there," Roger further commented. "Maybe this is one of the matches I should have won against him because he's had some other ones where I think he was supposed to win. This time around it went his way."

 

Roger had won the last 11 encounters with Andy Roddick, the head-to-head is now at 15-2. Roger will be heading back to Europe these days and is looking forward to the Estoril Open in Portugal and the start of the clay season.

Anxious posters do not realize that tennis history is on Roger's side. Since many consider Roger one of the GOATs along with Sampras, Laver and, arguably, Borg, let's take a look at these other players.

- From 1993 to 1998, when Pete Sampras was ranked

Well, coach for Roger? Pete? :) Well I doubt he would help Roger surpass his record 14 slams. But who knows? But he said Roger will inevitably do it anyway. I hope this year. Many will be surprised but he wins the Roland Garros and Wimbledon this year and
