Tennis- Tournoi d’Indian Wells 2011 (Masters 1000) – Californie USA
Bet on the match
9th confrontation between the two best Swiss players
Roger is well ahead of Stan in terms of confrontations but Wawrinka's promising start to the season leaves the door open for a feat from the Vaudois.
Result
R.Federer SUI/2 b. S.Wawrinka SUI/12 6-3 6-4
The two Swiss players had won Olympic gold in doubles in Beijing in 2008
Results of the round of 16:
S.Wawrinka SUI/12 b. T.Berdych CZE/7 3-6 6-4 6-4
R.Federer SUI/2 b. R.Harrison USA/WC 7-6 6-3
Wawrinka built up a lot of confidence by coming back from behind in the match against Davidenko and showing a lot of character in the following rounds to overcome his opponents. The most ironic thing is that the two players are doubles partners in this same tournament, with great successes, moreover, as they are still in the race at the quarterfinal stage.
Roger connait très bien les failles de Stan et saura très bien en profiter, il devrait l’emporter encore une fois.
Statement:
« Avec Stan, on a déjà dit qu’on allait chacun servir dans le dos de l’autre lors du double. Ce sera un plaisir de jouer avec lui en double avant de jouer contre lui en simple. »
