Estoril Open

Roger is back in action at the ATP 250 Series tournament in Estoril this week. After a first round bye he will either meet Germany's Björn Phau (ATP 138) or a qualifyer. Roger has been defeated by Phau in the past - dating back to 1999 when Roger was 18 years old, though (in the first round in Washington).

Roger could meet Juan Ignacio Chela (ATP 54) in the quarter finals. Roger defeated the Argentinian in all of their four previous matches, the last time being four years back in Rome on clay. A semi-final against Albert Montañes (ATP 34) is possible after that: Roger has never lost in their three encounters so far.
