Lot Essay

Switzerland began the Davis Cup with a routine win over Serbia, who were without their talisman Novak Djokovic. Another victory against Kazakhstan was to follow before the tricky prospect of a semi-final against Italy loomed large. Roger was tasked with giving his team a solid platform and would provide it, defeating Simone Bolelli before Wawrinka beat Fabio Fognini in straight sets. After a doubles defeat, the Swiss team required one point from the remaining two matches to reach the final and this was duly delivered by Roger, who was lifted onto his teammates’ shoulders following his victory against Fognini in Geneva.
