Roger out in Madrid
Roger lost to Andy Murray in semifinal in Madrid today. The Scot took revenge for his defeat in the US Open final in September: 3-6, 6-3, 7-5.
“I think he's improved at his pace,” Roger said. “First he had to grow up a little bit, become a man; I think he's taken that step well and he seems much more relaxed on the court which I think helps him. He's still fiery, which he's supposed to be. I just think you've got to give the young guys time to learn. It's so much more fun to see them learning.”
Roger sealed the first set after a break in the fourth game. It was the first set that Murray had to drop in the tournament so far. Murray responded and clearly took the second set 6-3. In the decider the Scot sent down 10 aces and despite Roger saving six break points, his opponent broke in game 11 and served it out to 7-5.
Roger is now off to Basel where he has announced that he will be competing next week.
I am sure next week will be yours and Paris too if you decide to play :)
Love ya x x
Shame about the loss this time, but it looked like mighty good pratice.
Onwards to Basel, hope you have fun!
It was nice to see you looking positively rosy-cheeked and itching for a fight.
Hope you make it to Paris to wow some Frenc

You played breathtakingly in the first set--so many "wow"s that you absolutely let the world
