Roger reaches Dubai quarters

Roger had no difficulties against Spaniard Marcel Granollers in Dubai today, winning 6-3 6-4 with a flurry of spectacular winners to reach the quarter-finals.

Roger dominated the opening set and went up early in the second before the 53rd-ranked Granollers narrowed the gap to 5-4. Our champ then hit several forehand winners and sealed the win when Granollers hit a return long.

Roger's next opponent will be Sergiy Stakhovsky (ATP 43) of Ukraine.
