Re: ~ The Dubai 2012 Cheering Thread ~ Allez Roger!
Best of luck Roger!
Strong field here, him reaching the semis or even the QF would already be a decent result imho - especially after he's already managed to rack up plenty of points in Rotterdam.
But of course... the more the better!
Good draw for Fed. Not very easy on what from Murray's quotes seems a fast court, given Fed has a bunch of attacking players in his Qtr starting right from Llodra, but nonetheless none of them should be able to actually beat him. Tsonga/Delpo in the semis will be tough, but I will take those two over Berdych/Murray anyday.
Hope he makes a good run and wins the title, he has a good chance, so Roger!

Re: ~ The Dubai 2012 Cheering Thread ~ Allez Roger!
Fed - Llodra
Fed - Mahut
Fed - Gasquet?
This is like a dream draw.
Lots of good matches!
Could see Fed - Del Po as the Semis here.
Murray/Djokovic/Berdych all on the other side of the draw. Hope he wins this.
