roger is looking strong, id be surprised if Safin can break his game down to win this set and the next...

I did be surprised if Safin is broken after that service game. This may go to the tie break.

Some good comments made by Vijay Amritraj on commentary :-

"Federer is looking more normal in this match."

"Is it just me or does Safin seem to chase Federer every game, whole match."

"Even Federer can be beaten with even more brilliance."

Safin has played some awesome tennis and has held his own. Not even Agassi can claim to have done that in the last couple of years.

its all true, but the fact is, Federer is still winning...

Federer has beaten Safin 6 times to Safin's 1.

[Hoggy31]

Who's everyones money on at this stage?? I reckon Federer will prevail in this final set.

 

[Simon]

Rog yeh, hes just so good, i can see him getting pushed, but i think he will have too much on the big points...

 

[Nate]

Safin for mine

 

[Simon]

3-2 safin, but imo federer is looking more likely...

 

[Hoggy31]

Safin breaks, 4-2 safin

 

[andyc]

5-2 safin not looking good for federer here...

 

[Pratters]

And I missed all the Safinc omeback at 5-4 in the 4th set tie break coz lights in home were gone.
