ATP - NO HITCHES FOR ROGER

Roger got his clay-court season off to a solid start with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Andreas Seppi in Monte Carlo.

Roger went into his opening match with a 4-0 record against Seppi, the world number 40. He made the first breakthrough with some heavy forehands in game nine after saving two earlier break points. Two magnificent games followed from our champion as he served out the set and broke at the start of the second, going on to seal a comfortable victory.

Roger will now play his compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka in the third round.
