Roger loses 2nd round match
Top-ranked Roger suffered a shocking loss in the second round Wednesday at the Rogers Masters in Toronto.
Playing his first match since dropping an epic Wimbledon final in five sets to Rafael Nadal, our star was upset 2-6, 7-5, 6-4 by Frenchman Gilles Simon, last week's Indianapolis champion.
Roger was clearly rattled by the loss, in which he committed four-straight unforced errors to put Simon into a winning position as the underdog took full advantage on his first match point after two hours. "It's important to stay positive," the shattered Swiss star said. "The hard-court season has just started, and we have nine months of it."
"It's not the end of the world, but I wish I could have started better," said Roger, a two-time Toronto winner. "I like this event, and I've done well here. I've got to regroup and look forward to the Olympics and the US Open. This is really where I want to win. I have to make sure that I'm ready to."
It was the second defeat this season in an opening match for Roger, who went out to Andy Murray in three sets in early March in the first round in Dubai.

Good one! I am convinced that the way to get to Rafa is to mess with his water bottles. They seem somehow connected to his kaa.

Let's all think cooling, positive thoughts this afternoon for Roger's match.
***JEUX SET MATCH, thank you for asking our friend for the link about the Roger retiring article. I don't believe it. It's contrary to what he has said for month
The Olympic experience is also different than the professional tennis tour where the players stay in posh hotels and live the pampered life, Federer said. In the Olympics, it's more the communal experience, whi
Here is the article from the Cincinnati Enquirer that ***DaleAnn mentioned. Sure doesn't sound like a guy who's about to quit!
