Roger Federer Rolls Into Estoril Open Quarterfinals!

Swiss Tennis God Roger Federer is hoping the clay court season will reverse his current slump. Can the sexy, gorgeous, powerful, tennis champion turn back the clock and return to dominance on the ATP Tour? 2008 has been a bizarre year so far for Roger. Roger is usually so consistent but he was diagnosed with mononucleosis earlier this year. The only reason Roger has been losing is because he wasn’t feeling 110% percent it had nothing to do with his opponents. When Roger is healthy he is the best and this is a fact!  The tennis God has not reached an ATP Tour final this year nor has he won an ATP Tour event.

Roger is a joy to watch he moves like an elegant dancer on the court with soft, delicate, and intricate steps as he slides on the red clay courts of Europe.However, Roger is currently at the Estoril Open in Portugal this is the first event of the clay court season. Roger hired clay court coach Jose Higueras to help him in Portugal this week. Higueras’s clay court expertise helped propel Michael Chang and Jim Courier to grand slam glory at the French Open.

Roger is determined to become the French Open champion and he is doing everything in his power to be ready for Paris in late May. I am pleased Roger decided to add another clay court event to his schedule he needs to win matches and get back into the groove with his game. Roger is quietly gathering strength he appears alert, fresh, hungry, and healthy.

Today Roger looked confident and relaxed as he destroyed his second round opponent the Romanian Victor Hanescu 6-3 6-2 in just one hour. Roger was confident hitting forehand and backhand winners. Russian tennis star Nikolay Davydenko is the only other top ten player in the event. Davydenko is very dangerous on slow read European clay his confidence is also very high after winning the Masters event in Miami.
