A Resounding Win Takes Roger into the Round of 16
Losing just ten games on Friday, Roger took out 10th seed, Tomas Berdych 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 at the Australian Open. He only needed 90 minutes to dispose of the Czech player and never allowed him to see a break point dropping just 14 points in 14 service games.
“It's just crazy how quick I got out of the blocks,” Federer said of his third-round display after his stuttering start to the Open. “That's what I was hoping for, because I wasn't able to do that in the first two matches. Today I was able to. What a difference it was in the feeling afterwards.
Next for Roger will be the 5th seed, Kei Nishikori, who struggled in his opening match in Melbourne but won 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to recieve his bid into the round of 16.
