Roger cruises into round three

24.06.2009 | Tennis

Roger produced a sublime display to beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in the second round at Wimbledon today. It took him just 89 minutes to secure the 6-2, 6-2, 6-4 victory.

 

"The opponents are only going to get tougher. I'm playing great at the moment, and I hope it is going to last," he said. Roger server brilliantly, losing only three points on his first serve and breaking his opponent regularly. He was in superb touch as he broke twice to take the first set 6-2 and, after saving two break points early in the second, a stunning winner saw him break as he won the set 6-2. He then eased through the third set 6-4.

 

After a break on Thursday, Roger will face Philipp Kohlschreiber in round three on Friday. He has won all three encounters with the German so far.

Del Porto's out and I don't think there'll be any who could beat Murry in the upper half.

federerworshiper****I totally agree with you about the coverage of ESPN2. I get quite upset when they don't show whole matches and then just when Roger gets going good they switch to another player. I cannot get the Tennis Channel unfortunately so I just

Hello Roger,

Nice picture on the homepage of you and the Herminator (Hermann Maier, one of the best alpine skiers in the world). I always wondered if you two would have come across.

I am a big fan of Hermann too and have the greatest admiration for
