Federer-Express with a bumpy start

29.05.2008 | Tennis

It took Roger the first set to get going today, but he then left no doubts against Spanish claycourter Albert Montañes: 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-0, 6-4.

 

After a rain delay at 5-5 Roger did not manage to win the tie-break, but the Federer-Express started rolling right after that, bringing home the final three sets with ease. "The weather conditions were not easy," he said. "After (the delay), I felt a bit better, more relaxed."

 

He next takes on Croatia's Mario Ancic (ATP 46), the last man to beat him at Wimbledon in 2002. Roger leads the head-to-head 4-1.

I cannot believe the worm is still crawling. Looking at the score he is crawling pretty rapidely. For anyone interested in the french language, worm could be translated many ways but my favorite is "asticot" even the sound of it said in french is repulsiv

My dear friends takeko and sheleo
Make no mistake regarding the french crowd. They love Roger but they are going to try to lift Benetteau's game so he can fight. They will appreciate Roger's greatness but still...
The match Djerko/Mathieu is going to be
