Quarterfinals here we come
Well, perhaps I’ve spoken too soon. It appears Roger Federer’s tough match earlier this week was not a sign of things to come, but just the Champ working out the kinks. On Thursday, The Swiss had a much easier time dismantling Lee Hyung-taik 6-4, 6-3. Though there moments where the South Korean was able to break Federer’s serve. But have no fear dear fans, our Number One knew all the right words after the match.
“Maybe it was just my timing in the beginning. I was just shanking a lot of the balls and not able to keep the ball in play. Once I was able to do that, I was in total control. So I never felt worried too much today.”
Like I said earlier this week, the only way to beat him is for him to beat himself.
So Roger moves on to the Quarters where he will face
