Roger Federer - Press Conference Hamburg Final

Not a lot of fun but Roger's always refreshing.

Roger vs. Rafa - took 10 years off my life

Roger led, then he trailed. Lost the first set.

Roger led, then he trailed, then he won the second set in a tie break.

Then he just trailed and lost the third set.

For a second I thought Rafa was going to quit in the first set when he was seriously behind. He saw a trainer about his thigh and then was all put back together. That's okay. We don't want Roger winning by default.

Final score: 5-7, 7-6 (3), 3-6.

Final word: That was some high quality tennis. Amazing!

Look at Roger go!

Roger cruised again! This time past Andreas Seppi, 6-3, 6-2! He hasn't dropped a set in this Hamburg tournament and he's on his way to play either Nadal or Djokovic. Very exciting!

Woohoo! Roger wins in Hamburg

Good news: Roger's in the Semis

Bad news: Nadal's in the Semis

Roger beat Verdasco easily 6-3, 6-3.

Roger's playing Italy's Andreas Seppi tomorrow. I'm not going to say anything to jinx him.

Roger's in a tournament right now!

I didn't think he'd be able to play this week too. He's been playing so much lately the guy has to take a break! Then I realized I'd posted that he was going to be playing this week. I'm losing it.

At least he's been winning. He routed the unseeded Swede (say that ten times really fast) Robin Söderling 6-3, 6-2. Took just 64 minutes. That's the Roger we know and love! Although we love him winning or losing.

Next up is Verdasco in the Quarters. Roger says he does have something to worry about. That's just because he's being gracious, right?
