Only Roger Federer fills the Magic Box. Only Roger Federer is to Rafael Nadal discusses role in the Madrid Open. Only Roger Federer can be complicated both for himself as steep as a party that has controlled the stock Tuesday to Robin Soderling (6-1 and 7-5). Even in its most dramatic evenings-the first set lasted 20 minutes, the Swiss continued to provide signs of weakness, signs of a drowsy, perhaps from lack of appetite. In a match without demands, Federer was erratic in reverse, heavy legs and dubious service. Facing Soderling, anything but a specialist on clay, the world number two because he did not answer him, and yet it was a service for concern: in the second race with a 3-2, handed out his with two double faults. The public celebrated in style. I wanted to party. Then, Federer put things in order. The night had come to Madrid, it had been cold, and there was no question of getting into trouble.
“I felt good, so I removed pressure, especially against a good punch as Robin and the height of Madrid, a tournament that is definitely faster than other places,” said the Swiss with the baseball cap backwards swoop and the smile on his face hanging. “I had not seen this plant before, only when I saw the concert by Lenny Kravitz. There is no wind. I understand that there are those who feel como’indoor, although I do not see it that way. I like the track,” he added. You can help to gain altitude to Rafael Nadal, “he asked. “With altitude or not, is simple: the earth is good for Rafa,” he replied. “His movements are impressive. It is always difficult to beat on the ground. Whenever I think I have a chance against him, although I have won the last final of Roland Garros with a painful outcome (6-1, 6-3 and 6-0) .
As Federer made that the plant lived his exciting first night, Andy Murray, the Scottish giant, was slow to fire Simone Bolelli (7-6 [9] and 6-4). Experts say that the number three in the world will impove the conditions of the tournament. That more than 600 meters above the sea, as in Madrid, it is almost impossible to break the service to a man of his stature (1.90 m). Nothing says physics that also favors that Murray, advised by Alex Corretja, improve the rest. The tight control of its outcome Bolelli rather the contrary. The punch, however, are days of relief: Ivo Karlovic, a tennis player for more than two meters, survived with a mallet that Julien Bennetteau (3-6, 7-6 (5) and 6-4).
