ATP - CAN ROGER MAKE IT THREE?

Roger will open the official 2009 season at the Qatar Open. Our star has won the title in Doha twice, in 2005 and 2006. This year, he will face Potito Starace of Italy in the first round and could meet Andy Murray in the semifinals. Roger is 3-0 against the Italian.

It's going to be an interesting week for Roger. With Djokovic’s triumph at the Masters Cup, the Serb is just 10 points shy of our champ. Djokovic would be able to take the #2 ranking from Roger by doing better in Brisbane than Roger does in Doha. Roger can definitively secure his #2 rank by winning the tournament. Roger is 11-0 against all possible opponents before the Murray clash.
