What a match!

Wow!! What a match! Federer playing at around 70% of his potential and Roddick at close to 100% - and still Federer comes out as the winner! There were glimpses of the vintage Federer - much rarely than what I would have liked - and glimpses of the future Roddick - calm, composed, much toned from his aggressive posturing days and playing 'maaaaaarvellous' tennis as Vijay Amritraj puts it :)
In the first 4 sets, there are only 2 break of serves - both by Roddick taking the respective sets.. The other 2 sets are won by Federer by upping the ante during the tie-breaker. And that sets the stage for a classic fifth set. Federer serving ahead in the final set - I think that was an advantage as it was making him less tensed during the fifth set. It was almost like he was waiting for Roddick to falter and when the chance came, he pounced on that.. What a win - minus the tears this time!! Wonder how he held them back successfully this time ;) ;)
It was nice to see the greats like Rod Laver, Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras posing with Federer, with everyone trying to get their hands on that golden trophy :)
Last word - on Mirca - Is she a superwoman - an 8-month-pregnant woman sitting thru this high tension match for 4 hrs 30 min !!
