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.

you have to work on your ground strokes, it was pretty weak and ill timed in Paris,especially the BH, your serve was OK,I am afraid you have to win at least 2 matches to keep your hopes alive in ending as the ATP champion and tie the feat of Lindel, i wan

Oh Roger !
For some reason, it took me up to today to get over that one. It was worse that if my own kid had lost, but it's probably nothing comparing to the feeling you must have had. I hope I am wrong and that you were sad, but Ok .

Better times

Guys,
If you look in page 20 I had mentioned the same thing. Why to wait until the last minute and not sure about ending the year end as number 1. Your destiny should be in your hands not on how others are going to fare. If Roger had gone to Asia, he w

just_a_fan : fully agree with you. wonderful post. Don't know what happens to some "fans". Nobody is able to be in top form every single day. He is number 1 now. Even if he will be number 2 by the end of the year ? What's the matter ?
