Roger vs. Rafa for the third straight time

26.04.2008 | Tennis

Roger has reached the Monte Carlo Masters final after Novak Djokovic retired due to illness. Our number one was leading 6-3 3-2 when the Serbian third seed complained of dizziness and pulled out of the semi-final.

Roger  was back to his brilliant best in the first set against Djokovic. He saved three break points in the fifth game before stealing Djokovic's serve on his first attempt to open up a decisive 5-3 advantage.

"I think I served a bit better today," said Roger. "I served well when I had to and I was consistent from the baseline. "Tomorrow, I will try to push him (Nadal) to see what happens."

i am very disappointed to see you lose again on clay against rafa... he is not an easy opponent of course, he's a great player but you could still beat him... however, you seem to be jumpy out there when playing against him and you miss many shots you nor

Very disappointed with roger's gameplay in the final, especially in the 2nd set. Rafa could never dream of such comeback from 4-0 down. I think Roger must work on his service power and precision and put a team to work on his mental stamina. Then surely he

There's one more thing i want to mention, maybe it is mainly due to the psychologic factor which causes u to lose 5 sets straightly and ended up with failure.
