Next up: Andy Murray

08.01.2009 | Tennis

Roger has reached the semifinals in Doha after defeating eighth-seeded German Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-2, 7-6 (6). The world's number one, Rafael Nadal, has dropped out of the tournament.

 

Roger even had a 4-1 lead in the second set when his opponent raised his level remarkably, taking the set to a tie-break. It was the first time in their third encounter that Kohlschreiber was able to do so. But Roger faced the three set-points successfully and managed to take home the set and match after a fantastic forehand winner. It was his 15th victory in his 16th match in Qatar.

 

Roger's semifinal opponent on Friday will be the surging Murray, who handled Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky 6-4, 6-2 in today's nightcap. The third-seeded Murray is the reigning Doha champ, having beaten Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka in last year's finale . Roger captured the Doha event back-to-back in 2005 and 2006.

Completley agree with you there, Murray did nothing special today, it's just that Roger made it easy for him. The Roger of old would never have got into that situation

Federer is still very good,
but the same mental block he has with Nadal after losing a couple of matches is beginning to affect his game with Murray. 3rd game of the 2nd set, very crucial to the loss. It's a game of the mind - he thinks too much now whil

I hate to criticise Roger, i mean who are we to tell Rog how to play tennis- a man who has won 13 slams! I'm sure he doesn't need the likes of us telling him what to do- but it was so frustrating watching him make so many unforced errors,perh

Roger's words that Murray was the most promising talent of the young guns was ominous in its accuracy. But more to the point, Roger just seemed to run out of ideas in the end, and his agression simply evaporated.

I hope Roger can tip the scales back in

Roger, you just need more rest to stay in form. You also should find a good coach, because your mental power lacks. You cannot afford yourself to repeat anymore the mistakes made in this match against Murray. NO WAY. Especially not on Australian Open. The
