Finals
Rafael Nadal beats Roger 7-5, 7-5 in Monte Carlo. It seems that the norm has been restored - Roger making it to the finals of a clay court event, meeting Nadal in the finals, showing promise that he might pull it off, but Rafael comes up with soon brilliant tennis and Roger is left with the second place trophy. However, Roger has had a great start to the clay court season with having reached two consecutive finals and winning one of them. Hopefully this momentum will carry through into the French and for the rest of the season.

Round 3
Defeats Gael Monfils 6-3, 6-4. This is a much better showing than Roger’s first match. “And I was just happy, after yesterday, (to be) playing so well. Today was fine again. It’s good I reacted so well after yesterday’s tough match,” said Roger. The quarterfinal opponent is David Nalbandian who is always a tough opponent. This will be a true test for Roger - can’t wait for the result.
