ATP - OUT AGAINST WAWRINKA

Unfortunately Roger was not able to display his best tennis today, losing to his Olympic gold-medal doubles partner Stanislas Wawrinka 4-6, 5-7 in the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters today.

Our champ had to face a total of 14 break points and eventually lost in two sets, being defeated for the first time by Wawrinka in their third encounter (2005: Rotterdam, 2006: Dubai). Roger's partner on Switzerland's Davis Cup team will next meet qualifier Andreas Beck of Germany in the quarterfinals.
