I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Roger lost another match. This time Fernando Gonzalez avenged his Australian Open Final loss 3-6, 7-6(1), 7-5 in his first match of the Tennis Masters Cup.
Roger was cruising along like usual, took the first set without an issue and then couldn't break Gonzo in the second set. When it went to a tiebreak I guess Roger thought it was lunch break because he only managed to get one point before the set was over. I figured it wouldn't be a problem. Even though Gonzo was playing amazingly well Roger wasn't being a slouch and therefore Roger would prevail in the third set.
No deal. Gonzo broke Roger once and that was all it took. He had the momentum today. I don't want you to think Roger wasn't right there with him because he was. It was statistically neck and neck as far as aces and unforced errors and winners. Gonzo just got the match this time. Good for him! At least Roger looked like a stud in a red polo shirt and black headband and shorts. Not that I notice that kind of thing.
