The stats of the game tell two different stories – yes they tell you that Rafa Nadal won 6-1, 6-3 but they also say that Roger had 32 unforced errors to Rafa’s 8 during a match that lasted 1 hour 8 minutes. Another telling stat was that our Roger only won 55% of his first serves – down from 73% in his match against Simone. There was a glimmer of hope in the second set when Roger won 2 games in row to go from 1-5 to 3-5 with some brilliant shot making. Unfortunately in the last game our champ had two unforced errors and at 0-40 Nadal sent down a good serve to clinch the Championship. As ever Roger was gracious at the end complementing Rafa on the way he played. 

Next up are the French Open, starting next Sunday.]]> Tennis Starseite 2 Sun, 19 May 2013 17:33:00 +0200 http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/esp/news-detail/news/4384-finale-gegen-nadal.html Our Champ has made it through to the final in Rome with a 7-6(5),6-4 win over 36 seed Benoit Paire...
Now comes the big one against his old rival Nadal – the way they are both playing at the moment promises another Roger - Nadal classic. "It's nice to have these revival moments for both of us," Roger said. "I'm sure we're both looking forward to it. I clearly am." ]]> Tennis Starseite 1 Sat, 18 May 2013 23:16:00 +0200 http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/esp/news-detail/news/4381-halbfinale-in-rom.html Our Champ came through a much tougher test tonight against Jerzy Janowic 6-4, 7-6(2) in an hour and...

"Kei played...
"Kei played better than I did, so the better guy won today, that's for sure. I'll sit together tonight or tomorrow with the team and discuss what the plan is for the next few days and weeks. So I'm excited for that, because clearly I have no choice but to hit the practice courts," Roger said.

Roger struggled with the conditions in Madrid as breezes and shady patches hit the court. He displayed good tennis during several phases but was not constant enough overall, battling with uncharacteristic errors. After losing the first set, he upped his game to level but lost his serve early in the decider and Nishikori broke for a third time in the match to seal victory.]]> Tennis Starseite 2 Fri, 10 May 2013 00:38:00 +0200 http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/esp/news-detail/news/4366-in-kontrolle.html Roger made a successful start after a break of several weeks, defeating Radek Stepanek 6-3, 6-3 at...
"I didn't think I played incredible, but that's not what I was expecting myself to do here. But I didn't play bad, either. So I'm very happy with how things went today. Stepanek is a player who can cause a lot of difficulties in the game. He has caused me difficulties in the past. Today that wasn't the case. I thought I was pretty much in control," Roger said after the match.

It didn't take long for Roger to get into the rhythm of his game, cruising past stepanek in 81 minutes. He will now either play Japan's Kei Nishikori (ATP 16) or Viktor Troicki of Serbia (ATP 44).]]> Tennis Starseite 1 Wed, 08 May 2013 00:13:00 +0200 http://www.rogerfederer.com/en/esp/news-detail/news/4360-madrid-die-auslosung.html The draw for the 12th edition of the Mutua Madrid Open is out.At his first tournament on clay this...
At his first tournament on clay this season, Roger will play his first match against the winner of the match between Bernard Tomic (ATP 49) and Radek Stepanek (ATP 48). In the following round he could meet Kei Nishikori (ATP 15) before facing Richard Gasquet in the quarters. In the semis, Roger will most probably face a Spaniard - if it is not the number 5 seed Rafael Nadal, it might either be David Ferrer or Nicolas Almagro. ]]> Tennis Starseite 2 Sun, 05 May 2013 02:39:00 +0200
