ATP - ROGER DEFEATED IN EPIC FINAL

Roger had to put on hold his quest to match Pete Sampras with 14 Grand Slam singles titles today. He was defeated by Rafael Nadal in another epic five-set final 5-7, 6-3, 6-7(3), 6-3, 2-6.

After 4 hours and 23 minutes on court Roger could not hold back his tears during the prize ceremony, showing how much this title would have meant to him. Our star was trying to equal Pete Sampras' record 14 major titles but has now lost to Nadal the last three times they've met in Grand Slam finals.

Dear Roger
The match just finished and all I can hope is that you feel proud of yourself. I'm sure everybody who saw that match,
saw the great effort you put in every point. And it was a wonderfoul perfomance no matter the result, you didn't get the 14 but you'll get it next time
Keep yourself focus, you're getting better and this is just the beginning of the best year of your life. Always keep that in mind, and keep a smile in your face
And it's fine if you cry, it just proove you're a human been. Don't worry about it, if you need it let it out. you make me cry just by seeing you :-D
I still believe you're the greatest tennis player in the world, now you need to believe that
Hope to see you playing again soon, making the best effort like you akways does. You're my Idol
Lots of love
MaGa - Venezuela

Dearest Roger,

Although the match didn't go in your favor...you still won our hearts!!! The way you are so expressive about your emotions it is awesome to know that you feel so deeply about tennis and your committment to the game is more than anyone else's!!!

I am hoping that this year will bring on improvements in your streak and you will not lose your ranking anymore than you have already lost. Now I know it is not about creating a record but it is about playing the game that you so love and is in your veins:)


All the best of luck for the rest of the season...

Cheering for you forever!!!

Mehreen.
