40 mins
Well this match is marked by 0.3-0.5 sec delay that I had...I already am bad and unpracticed in catching serves, but this made it nearly impossible...so I received 62 aces...which is hilarious
First set, well Federer opened better, he first had 2 BPs at the start, but I saved it, then at 4-3 he had another 2 BPs, second (fourth) one he played it good and won the set. That set I had no chance.
Second set, I started to play good, I didn't let any chance to Federer on my serve, he also didn't let me to have any chance...so we got to tiebreak, where I broke him immediately and kept advantage till the end of set without any problems.
Third set, I started to play really good, I pressed him and I found my self with 15-40 and one advantage after that but he saved it all...
And then at 6-5 for him I had my blackout like in every match (5-4, 40-15 against eronakold) ...I missed one lob, and two smashes...and of course lost the set!!!
Fourth set, I was pissed from the way I lost third one...so I had trouble concentrating...at 2-1 that came on surface...Federer pressed hard and had 4 BPs, there have been 6-7 deuces, I was struggling to keep my serve but somehow I did. After that I started to play normal without much mistakes on my serve. So we got to tiebreak.
In tiebreak, i broke him immediately and lead 3-0, then he made reminibreak and came to 3-3, know I knew that I must do something so I broke him again...I got into lead 5-3, then 5-4.
I had two serves for set, but I made a mistake and he got back into the set once again at 5-5, my second serve I won and had set point at 6-5.
Then he made on ace and one winner for 7-6. Now I was in problems, but I made 2 winners for 8-7, after that he made two aces for 9-8. So once again I had to get both points on my serve, I was on the right track for 9-9, but then again I MISSED LOB, and he made another ace for 11-9
After that tiebreak, he admitted that he was very lucky in tiebreak...so I won't talk much about that.
