A victory in straight sets to start off with

25.05.2009 | Tennis

Roger swept into the second round of the French Open today by defeating Spain's Alberto Martin 6-4, 6-3, 6-2.

 

"I started a little slowly," he said afterwards. "He plays very far behind the baseline so I had to make adjustments. Then I started to serve well. That allowed me to play more freely and I was able to dominate."

 

It was a bit of a rough start for Roger when he was broken in his first serve but he later levelled to 2-2. Roger then went on to break Martin for a second time in the 10th game to take the set. From then on our champ was clearly in control, dominating during his serve and breaking his opponent regularly.

 

Roger eased to victory in an hour and 43 minutes, setting up a second-round meeting with either José Acasuso or Santiago Ventura.

If he loses this match, it would be a tragedy. Never ever have I thought he would lose to Acasuso.

What is going on? Roger down 0-3 by Acasuso? Is this how he's going to win the French Open? Nadal and the rest are laughing at him right now. This is really hard to watch. God! why is he not measuring his shots and come out this set with a strategy. OMG!!
