Roger out early in Paris

11.11.2009 | Tennis

Roger had to accept an early defeat in Paris against Julien Benneteau at the BNP Paribas Masters today: 6-3, 6-7(4), 4-6.

Roger had not dropped a set against Benneteau in their two previous meetings. He raced to the first set today, showing tennis on a high level. But the second set turned out to be less one-sided and Roger even fell back rather clearly in the tie-break. Our champ seemed a little irritated and had to save three break points early in the decider but Benetteau took advantage at the fourth attempt to edge a lead he then did not lose, finishing the match in just about two hours.

In Roger's seven visits of the tournament, his best performances remain three quarter-final rounds.

Dear ***Boting P32*** Dear***Milesa p32*** I love Roger Federer as you do. As you can see now players are becoming stronger and stronger. He must develop himself to cope with that. He slipped from in between the fingers of Chiudinelli with difficult

You said it perfectly! You are quite right. We love Roger too much, but we must not be blind! He must improve his game, otherwise we will have to be afraid during the next matches, expecting him to win! We undoubtedly love him very, v
