Congrats Roger! You are simply the best....55 titles with 12 GS in 10 years is unbelievable and unbeatable. Even a blind will not compare ur game with Nadalīs because the difference is clear. We need players who construct and win points like you and Nole (thatīs what makes the game interesting/exciting) instead of those who wait for free points from their opponent`s unforced errors. Good luck in Wimbledon.
your number one fan in sweden.
