Roger back in style
Roger returned from his five-week break to beat Radek Stepanek (ATP 30), 6-3, 7-6 (6), yesterday in the second round of the Madrid Masters.
"I think I moved with a spring in my step. My feeling out there was positive and confident which is a good feeling to have in the first match which tends to be very tricky," Roger said after the match.
Roger had a perfect start and took a 3-0 lead as Stepanek's serve fell apart. But the world number 30 stepped up in the second set, winning all but one of the points on his first serve, and seized the advantage in the set decider. But our champ did what he can do so well: increase the pressure in critical moments. He rallied from a 5-3 deficit in the tiebreaker with some excellent shotmaking, including a backhand that landed in the far corner on match point. Roger went on to take the tie break 8-6 and the match in one hour and 26 minutes.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!
keep it up
I agree about Ivo. I know that he is working very hard to improve and it shows.
I remeber that, not so long ago, you found him very boring to watch. Today, he was fun to watch, don't you think? I mean besides the fact that he beat Fakov
I do like the "babyvic" very funny.
I think Ivo's game has improved all around. He does not always win point with an ace but can also return serve from the back court and his volleys are outstanding.
Luv always

Besides Ivo's mental strength, I find that you
have improved your analysis as well.
Roger,
