He has an edge against del Potro but it doesn't mean that its going to be an easy task for Federer. First set belongs to Martin and they are tie 3-3 in the second set already.
I wanted for Federer to win the match, but it looks like Martin is playing very good as of the moment. Although its still have not finished, del Potro seems to have the edge and for Roger to win, he needs to be raise his game again. Lets see how will it pans out in the end, I'm currently watching it and rooting for Federer. Personally, I don't like del Potro, he seems to have this kind of attitude, so boastful.
Federer just managed to take second set in tie break. This is some great tennis we are watching in the final. Both guys are striking the ball well, that goes double for the forehands
He dug himself in a hole he could not dig himself out of in the final set when the games were even at 6 and he was down 6 points to 2 in the final frame.
Juan Del Porto wins a masters 1000 for the very first time in his career.
Well done!
Oh well, what can I say, Roger did show us a good game but it was not enough. It was really great tennis, but the sad part is that eventhough both really play more, we only need one winner and that is Juan.
Was exciting to see Roger climb and get back the 2nd set though and I thought he has the momentum going on the 3rd. However, it wasn't to be denied that Juan will raise this trophy for this year. Congrats to him.
