Rome....Well done Roger in Rome finalist, your back again, your loss to Nadal is nothing.Will see you in Paris.

This must have been one of the ugliest finale I saw, but you're still a great champion, and congrats for the week. I think you should look back at the beginning of this season and try to ask yourself the right questions. How and how long do you want to play? The end of your career is relatively near, and you have set priorities now, find other kinds of motivation unlike younger players. You can't just try and fail at big stages 'cause you've been here before and already won. Good luck, take care

With two beautiful children and a loving wife, a loss in the finals is no longer as hard to take before the family. I was in the audience and sat in the rain when you won the French Open. You are the greatest player who has even played the game. The competition is getting tougher all the time, but you are keeping up. I will keep on cheering for you.

Honestly, all I care about is Roger winning Wimbledon. Not other tournament, even London matters. Nothing else. Only Wimbledon. All energy, will power, passion, fire, are placed on that one number- SW19.

If Roger wins Wimbledon, then perhaps US Open. But Wimbledon is the only thing that matters.

Hard luck today Roger but Rome was a great week for you and great preparation for the French,just practice a lot and work on the groundstrokes but you played brilliantly in Rome,take care,King

Roger, You are still the best. Janovic, and Pair were tough then Nadal with a totally different style.
My advice is to watch how McEnroe neutralized Borg's topspin. He took it early but just met it playing off the speed of Borg's ball generally returning a low flat ball. This tactic will also work against Nadal.
Nadal does not disguise the big topspin ball and you can move in on it an place it just like McEnroe did. You did not mix it up enough in Rome. Do not play Nadal's game.

u have to change ur coach try to have effective service i think ur aces are lower than before u cant read nadal as joko does why ??????????? i think u ll not win any thing if u stay at same system u need a coach like andre aggasi to teach return service and u need goran coach to get ur service power and need to concentrate u have no soul power like joko and nadal i think u ll be out of 10 rank if u insist in that coach and that low fitness if u ll not do that so u ll retire this year u ll not
