Going the Distance

Federer flew through the 2007 Australian Open without losing a set – sometimes it even seems as if Roger is not even playing on this planet! In the Australian Open finals, Fernando Gonzalez was “sucking wind” after the long rallies while Federer seemed to barely be winded. Federer has been so dominant the past few years that he has rarely gone five sets. Surprisingly, Roger is only 2-2 in five set matches since becoming Number One. In fact, Federer has actually lost six of the past eight five set matches he has played. So… it may be awfully difficult to take Federer to a fifth set, but you may then have a slightly better chance to beat him!
