"I played really well," said Roger after the match. "In the first round, you never have too much expectation and you just hope to get through."
It was Roger's fourth victory over Andreev in four meetings. But it was the first time our champ didn't have to drop a set against the hard-hitting Russian. In the tiebreak, Roger set up his match point by forcing Andreev to hit a backhand long and then clinched the win when Andreev pounded a forehand into the net.
Roger will face Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela (ATP 32) in the next round of Indian Wells on Tuesday.Dear Fans just decided to enter Monte Carlo. Hopefully I will see some of you in Monaco in the spring.The draw for the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells is out. Roger has a First-round bye and will then either face Russia's Igor Andrejew (ATP 96) or Japan's Kei Nishikori (63). Roger won all three previous matches against Andrejew, dropping one set each time. Roger has never played Nishikori on the ATP Tour before.
In the quarter finals a match against Roger's friend Stanislas Wawrinka (ATP 14) is possible. In the semi final, Roger could meet Novak Djokovic (ATP 3) again - the Serb defeated our champ in the Dubai final.
The top seeded Rafael Nadal, UK's Andy Murray and Sweden's Robin Söderling are in the other half of the draw.
