Another defeat by Murray

22.03.2009 | Tennis

Roger lost his semifinal against Andy Murray 3-6, 6-4, 1-6 in Indian Wells on Saturday.

 

Both players agreed that it was one of their toughest matches so far. For a few minutes shy of two hours, Roger had been outplayed. He had to face a strong performance by the Scotsman but also a large number of errors on his own side: 32 unforced errors in total, 17 in the first set alone. In the middle of the third set, after Murray took a spill at the baseline, Roger seemed to make a charge. Unfortunately he then lost three straight points off of his backhand giving Murray a 4-1 lead and again committing an unusual amount of errors.

 

"I played a shocking third set," Roger said. "It was one of those matches where it was very up and down from both ends and today the better player won."

 

Roger will be back on court very soon, with the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami starting on Monday.

Better luck in Miami Champ. The only differrence in stats are the unforced errors. You don't make them and no one can beat you.

Roger - you must get Murray and Nadal out of your head. Pretend they dont exist because your game will suffer if you dont. The last set also seems a problem. Murrays weakness is his serve, Nadals weakness is his net shots good luck Julian

After Stefan Edberg you are a god gift to the tennis world and you are a wonderful human being. Now tennis has gone to a new level because of you.

Dear Roger,

I couldn't see the match live and am ultimately glad that I didn't.

I really hope your back is ok.

Just take the positives from getting to the semi final and look forward to the next challenge in Miami.

Lots of luck, dear one.
You

***rafanatic:

So I place the question again...
¿ is there a site where people, with honest intentions other than poor adulation can tell Roger a few thing, may be only to get them out of their sytems..?

Life is all about learning.....
You are learning and we too are learning watching you deal with adversity, be it health (?) of the opponents, or your own health.
I admire the way you handle it all.
You are the best.
