Roger Beats Lopez and Heads To Semis

Spain was 110% behind her man, Feliciano Lopez when he faced Roger in the semi-finals of the tournament. Wearing the same shirt I've seen Rafa and James Blake in (why can't Nike just make a few more shirts so each players gets his own? Maybe the players aren't opposed to sharing in the locker room), he was overwhelmed by the no. 1 seed 7-6(7-4), 6-4. Lopez played a heck of a match but Roger was just too good, stepping it up with aces when necessary, pressuring Lopez's backhand and just out-hitting Lopez on rallies. I even saw Roger get a second serve ace! For some reason Mirka recorded the fan's reactions once Roger had won the match. I guess she was thinking that would be better quality than what the Tennis Channel would have. Sheesh!

Roger's in a black polo shirt and gray shorts for the tournament. He looks ravishing as usual.
