Roger wins thriller

02.04.2009 | Tennis

Roger continued his domination of Andy Roddick, this time winning a tough match, topping the former world No. 1 American, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 Wednesday to move into the semifinals at the Sony Ericsson Open.

 

13-time major titlist Roger was locked in a battle with Roddick for more than two hours, but despite 37 unforced errors, 20 more than his opponent, the Swiss pulled through. Roger had 42 winners, compared to 15 for Roddick.

 

"Here I had to adjust for a little bit to the night conditions, but I thought it was much easier than in Indian Wells where the ball is flying much more during the day, and during night it's way different."

 

Roger will next meet Serbian Novak Djokovic in the semifinals."I have a good record (7-2) against Novak, so I hope I can play well against him again," said our star.

I only hope some people stop demanding too much from Roger at this moment. He has won so many matches and tournaments already. Even batteries needed to be recharged. Even a machine needed to be fixed after been using for a long time. It's only natural tha

Thank you for your nice post. You are so right about that idiot "eeee". Anyway, I think I should ignor him now. He's just too stupid and stubborn to realize his own foolishness. Idiots always think they are smart and love to make remarks like
