Wonderful stuff from King Roger that conceded only 6 games to world no.48 Carlos Berlocq.
Roger was in “Maestro” mode to score 94 points vs. Berlocq’s 58. Federer displayed an incredibly aggressive tennis to go to the net 40 times winning 70% of the points. He gained 13 break points to convert 7 and concede only 1 break. Match Stats.
Roger. I am happy with my performance today
The world no.7 was satisfied by his tennis to comment “I feel at home here, after everything that has happened. I am happy with my performance today. I am results-orientated now. I don’t mind how I play, as long as I win.”
Talking about the kind of match he was playing the Swiss commented. “It’s one of those matches I expect myself to win if possible in straight sets, and gain confidence in the process. All those things happened, so I’m pleased about it.”
Next vs. Adrian Mannarrivo
Roger will play the third round against Adrian Mannarrivo (world no.63) that has defeated Sam Querrey 7-6(4), 7-5(5), 6-7(5), 6-4 in a 3 hours and 20 minutes match.
Head to head is 2-0 for Roger and the good point is that Mannarivo is left-handed, so this can be a good preparation for Roger if he is going to clash against Rafael Nadal in the quarters.
