Clear victory to start with

14.05.2008 | Tennis

Roger moved on to the round of the last 16 in the Hamburg Masters with an effortless 6-1 6-3 victory over Jarkko Nieminen today.

It took Roger only 58 minutes to rack up his ninth straight-sets victory from nine meetings with the Finn, who, as usual, was outclassed by our star. Roger used a full range of shots to dominate the first set, taking a 4-1 lead with a powerful forehand winner past the stranded Nieminen. The level of play dropped a bit in the second set, with four straight breaks of serve at the start. Roger then made the decisive move with another break for a 4-3 lead and wrapped up the match. He had 22 winners, twice as many as Nieminen.

For those who can get the matches on TVU here in the USA right now Nadal has just started playing Andy Murray. Should be a good match. Wouldn't it be something if Murray beat Rafa????

Thank you for posting Mats Wilander',s blog. What he said is so true.

Of course, I want Roger to win Roland Garros this year, and many more Grand Slams.

Kiefer just defeated Davydenko. What a surprise! And what is it that someone can

I could never understand how Federer manages to deal with the massive crowds that surround him. In Rome, it's amazing how many people were trying to get his attention. But yet again, he's such a classy person. I guarantee you that we
