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."

YOU ARE THE LOOSER!!!!!!!
There is no more FEDERER number 1 in the world. How could you? Be in a front 4:0 to loose? You, the pro tennis player forget that there is more than 4 games in the set? You can beat only the players who 100+ in a rank. Why did y

well we all know that rafa is the best clay courter, n im sure 2day was definitely no different, bad luck for fed, im sure hes very disappointed, to throw away a 4-0 lead that he had, i guess playing 10 matches in the last 12 days or something has to have
