BlackyM - Roger Federe 4-6, 7-6 (8), 6-4
Amazing match...he is really really really good player, probably toughest opponenet that I could get in this roudn
Druing match he had more than 80% of 1st serve, mostly above 200kmh
Frist set
He dominated, he broke me first game, really surprised me how he played, I really had no chance of breaking him, and he had more break points
Second set
I stablized my serve, not letting him chances to break me, but he kept his more easily than I. Then we got to tiebreak and I made first minibreak for 2-1, but I lost that advantage in next point. Then he got his 1st match point on 5-6, but I saved it with serve, then next point I was to eager to make drop shot, and ran straight into a ball and of course sent her 10 feet high into nothing, so he got 2nd match point at 6-7 this time with 2 serves. But then I forced him to do an error similar to mine point before, and saved myself. However he got another, 3rd match point at 7-8, but I won 2 my serves and took frist set point for 10-8
Third set
I got first break point of the match,he saved it with an ace, but point after I made return winner for another Break point this time I took it for 1-0. The I just kept my serve till 4-3, when he had 15-40, 2 BPs to get back into a match, but I saved that too and won my game for 5-3. Then on his serve I got my 1st match point at 30-40, he saved it with an ace. Then at 5-4, he got 30-40 lead, and another BP, I saved it. I saved 2 more BPs that game, and ha saved another 4 match points. But then finally I won my 6th match point and won the match.
