..but Novak and Roger saved it by finding themselves during the 5th set of their respective R16 matches. Phew! I started to doubt myself there for a second.
Roger went to a 5-set battle with Igor Andreev (I cheered for Igor a bit because Team Kirileev is all sorts of awesome) but quickly put things back in order in the 5th set. He’s also realized that he shouldn’t take winning for granted that much anymore. Roger.. the things you say sometimes. And they ask me why I was never a fan.
“Maybe for a while it was quite always the same for me—go on court, you win all the time,” Federer said. “So maybe you don’t take it for granted that much anymore.”
Novak Djokovic also had to battle against Tommy Robredo and, as Andy Roddick put it, about 16 injuries right now.
