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.
Good Luck for the next match against Del Potro... a tough one
Thank you for a wonderful game against Jo and again some great altercations up and around the net area, and the fact that for most of the match you managed to keep him back off the baseline. Well done Roger and wishing you all the best and

Too much beauty for one afternoon, I agree.
Un magnifique match de Roger, la délicieuse voix de Chico et encore je n'ai rien dit de la nature devant chez moi. Il y a de l'or partout dans les arbres. J'adore la lumière dorée de l'automne. Ci
