"It is not in Roger"s style to enter the court and find an excuse when he loses. He has still ten days to prepare for Roland Garros, maybe a little bit less because does not arrive here without playing for ten days. But he has a good team, so will do everything to be ready."
This year, so far, Roger"s played Brisbane, where he lost in the final to Milos Raonic and the Australian Open, where Novak Djokovic defeated him in the semi-finals. He was then forced to miss around 10 weeks of action because of an unexpected knee injury and follow-up surgery. He returned in Monte Carlo, where he reached the quarter-finals before losing to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
