Roger captures third Cinci title!

23.08.2009 | Tennis

Roger won his final against Novak Djokovic 6-1, 7-5 today to become just the fourth player in the Open Era history of the tournament in Cincinnati to win the title three times. Our champ has now captured the title in 2009, 2007 and 2005.

 

Roger showed a brilliant performance today and was never troubled by Djokovic. He had to fight in the second set as his opponent took a 3-0 lead, breaking in the second game. But Roger came back strong in his typical way, breaking back twice. Serving for the match, Roger did not drop a single point to complete the perfect warm-up for the US Open which begins in a week on August 31.

 

Roger dedicated the title two his twin girls during the prize giving ceremony. It is the first title he has captured as a dad.

This was a tennis lesson for everybody.As I said before take care of the return(I was afraid of this,but I was wrong).The way Roger mixed up the ball was just fenomenal.
It's a shame reading on other websites that Murray or Djokovic did not play very wel

Roger, few days to go before the US Open, right. Much enough time to prepare. Against Murry uncertainty more or less still there. It'll be a lot easier if your inside-out backhand comes back to fire. You did it quite often at the middle of the court, righ

I agree with TOM_GO.
In France, medias are supporting NADAL.
But at Roland Garros, people were supporting ROGER.
I have my own opinion on NADAL: it's a robot, a machine who will be desintegrated soon. Fragile knees mean to me great doubt on his trainin

you didn’t retired as you were at your peak
you didn’t hire a coach

since last year:
you became too old to ever win a match
to win a tournament
to win a GS
to regain position Nr 1
