Well, Roger did it now. With his 6-0, 6-3, 6-0 win over the Argentine he has destroyed any confidence Hartfield had and sent him running from the sport. Okay, that's not true. But I think it did cross Diego's mind. He was playing extremely well. And Roger had just gotten over a terrible stomach problem. Shouldn't he have had a chance? Just a chance?
Nope! Not against the greatest to ever play the game. The only problem I have is that Roger dropped three games. Last year he won the tournament without dropping a set. So how do you top that? By not dropping any games! Then you move on to not dropping any points the next year. And now he's blown it. Good job, Roger.
I'm not going to get all gushy and tell you about how it's so nice to see Roger playing again and that his backhand is pure magic and his aces gave me chills. I'll focus on the facts. Next up is Santoro who Roger beat the last time they met. Santoro beat my favorite up-and-comer, American John Isner, in the first round. Boo. Santoro's loud shirts really need to pipe down.
