終於不用再替他擔心了耶,第三盤還6:0真是太神奇了!!!雖然這是他今年2007年的第一個大師盃的冠軍,來得有點晚但真的很開心他終於在紅土打敗了Nadal了,他們在紅土交手過七次,但從來沒有贏過他,這真是令人振奮的消息呀!!!
希望今年的法國公開賽他能奪冠!!!

How Federer Won
After being broken twice in the first set, Federer conceded just six points on serve in the second set and seven points on serve in the third set as he hit peak form in his last appearance before Roland Garros, where he hopes to complete a career Grand Slam. Federer had gone four tournaments without lifting the trophy - the longest title drought of his 172-week reign as ATP World No. 1.
After a lackluster first set in which he faced break points in his first three services games and lost five consecutive games, Federer changed course and took the attack to his arch rival. The Swiss stepped into the court to respond more aggressively to high topspin groundstrokes directed to his backhand, and clipped a steady stream of crushing forehand winners. He hit 31 winners to Nadal’s 20, including six aces, and made fewer unforced errors (31 to 34). He regularly came to net and often had Nadal pinned deep behind the baseline and running side to side.
In a telling statistic that reflected Federer’s aggressive approach, only seven points in the final two sets lasted 10 strokes or more.
Federer was in danger of going down an early break in the second set when he faced break points on his serve for the fourth time in his first six service games. But he rallied from 15-40 to hold serve and then broke Nadal in the next game as he won 11 of the last 12 games of the match.
In the third set Nadal suffered just his third ’bagel’ in 134 career clay court matches. (He was bageled by Gaston Gaudio in the 2005 Buenos Aires quarterfinals and by Guillermo Coria in the 2005 Monte-Carlo final - a match Nadal recovered to win.)

真是帥!
好久沒有看到這個表情了呢!
真是感人的時刻!
還是很帥!
通常那個透明大大的那一塊都是Nadal在拿的,這次總算被Federer拿到嚕!
