Quarters against Roddick

01.04.2009 | Tennis

Roger halted Taylor Dent’s comeback bid by defeating the American qualifier 6-3, 6-2 on Tuesday to reach the quarter-finals at the Masters in Miami.

 

Our star needed just 85 minutes to earn a place in the final eight, but had to overcome a few delicated moments, especially in the first set: serving at 2-all, Roger fought off eight break points in a remarkable sequence to take the lead for good and realized a break in the sixth game by winning the first set 6-3. In the second set Roger broke his opponent’s serve twice and finished the match.

 

In the next Roger will face fifth seeded American Andy Roddick who advanced with a win over France's Gael Monfils. Roger has won 16 of their 18 matches but lost to Roddick in the Key Biscayne quarterfinals last year:

"We've had some big matches over the years. I played him at the Australian Open and played well against him. He seems like he changed a couple of things in his game so it should be a good match."

Roger,

You are losing your concentration too easy. How can you lose a 40x0 game, when you are servicing? What's going on? We already have seem it too many times during your matches.

You need a coach asap, for sure. But also you need to focus again i

Roger,

Seems that you are going to lose this set, hope that not the match. You are not the same anymore. 0x40 and you lose the game. You need to change your game. Everyone now know that your backhand is leaving you alone. Man, work hard and improve you
