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.

This was not an impressive set at all, I see a 3rd set tie break that is if Kohl doesn't break him here to sneak in a set for himself. Roger MUST hold serve here and play better in the tie break. It should be over soon cos I don't think I will have the pa

He must hold. If he can get it to tie-break I think he will win the set still. Come on Roger!!!! Now is the time to step it up if you want this title!!!

man Kohlschreiber has definitely stepped it up a notch now and is playing his best. Roger has to also step up to his real brilliance. Having a lull right now. He can't lose this set and give Kohl a chance. Come on!!!
