ATP - ROGER SOARS INTO SEMIS

Roger played a terrific match today to defeat Evgeny Korolev 6-3, 6-2 in just 55 minutes.

The Russian qualifier demonstrated why he made it through to the quarter finals in Basel and also had several break-balls, but Roger simply played too well. Our champ broke his opponent to 4-2 in the first and 3-2 as well as 5-2 in the second set.

The crowd in Basel is in for a special showdown on Saturday: Roger will play against another player from Basel, his long-time friend and junior training colleague Marco Chiudinelli. Chiudinelli clearly beat France's Richard Gasquet 6-1, 6-3 and will be playing the first semi-final at an ATP tournament of his career.

Rogi,
Congratulations on another fabulous match! You are truly the Greatest of All Time.

Love your "chocolate brown" shirt! Do I see a connection to Lindt Chocolate??? Every aspect of your tennis is delicious.

Best wishes as you move on to lift the trophy in your hometown. Wish I was there!

Kind regards from Southern California, USA

Congratulations Roger, I am happy for you , and Marco too. Marco did great recently. I am sure you are happy for him too. It will be fun to see you two best friends play on court. It might bring back memories of you two being teenagers. Good luck and have a great match Roger.

Way to go, Roger! All the best against Marco as it should be an interesting match, to say the least!

You are #1 and are proving it right through the open in Basel.

Good Luck from Canada!

espn360.com replayed your match this evening with Korolev Roger so I did get to see it after all and of course it was fabulous as always. Your people in Basel surely love you. I would have given anything to be in that audience to watch you play in person. Good going Roger!
