Roger will now face Marat Safin in the semis this Friday. In the past, those two have always had memorable matches at Grand Slam tournaments.

Roger had a glorious straight sets victory over the 2002 Wimbledon Champion, Lleyton Hewitt 7-6 (7), 6-2, 6-4. After the first set, Roger fell into a trend of falling behind in his service games but then serving his way out. It was entertaining to say the least because Roger had to elevate his game to erase the break points.

The quarterfinal opponent will be the last man to beat Roger at Wimbledon, Mario Ancic. I expect that the match will be very high-quality. ESPN360.com here I come.

Roger had yet another stellar victory - this time over Swede Robin Soderling 6-3, 6-4, 7-5 (3) to bring his win record at Wimbledon to 40 over the past six years. I was only able to catch the third set of the match, and in that final set, Roger was broken in the sixth game for the first time on grass this year. Also, at that point in the match, it looked as if Roger’s game dipped a bit, and Robin would eventually close out the set. However, Roger, as he so often does, broke back and dominated in the tie-breaker.

Roger will face France’s Marc Gicquel in the third round.

The Championships at Wimbledon have officially begun, and Roger made his debut in style - a regal-looking cardigan, and shorts with a belt. It was quite classy, and so was his tennis, beating Dominik Hrbaty 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 for his 60th straight win on grass. Roger looks to be in great form as evidenced by his performance.

It’s a seven round journey to take home the title, and Roger is on round closer. However, this year’s Wimbledon looks to be very competitive. Yes, Roger is the favorite, but other players are nipping at his heels. It will be very a very good, entertaining Championships.

Roger won his 55th career title in Halle, Germany this week with a victory over Philipp Kohlschreiber 6-3, 6-4. This win propelled Roger’s winning streak on grass to 59 matches. The last time Roger lost a match on clay was 2003. It was a great week of tennis from Roger who didn’t drop his serve in 49 service games, which is amazing.

Halle was a great preparation for Roger as he sets his sights on winning a sixth consecutive Wimbledon title. Now Roger has a week to rest and get geared up for The Championships.

Round 1
The “King of Grass” made a great grass court debut, against German Michael Berrer, with a convincing performance winning 6-4, 6-2 - breaking three times and only allowing one point of his serve in the first set, which is pretty remarkable. Roger extends his winning streak on grass to 55 victories.

I love the grass court season because Wimbledon and the build up to it is always awesome. Also, grass always brings out the best in Roger, and we all love to see Roger at his best.
