The Swiss Maestro saves Switzerland. His team was leading 2-1 after both Roger and Stanislas won their singles in the first day to then lose the doubles. To tell the truth and as per Roger’s comment, the most important match was Wawrinka’s one against Haase when Stanislas’ victory gave a decisive edge to his team.
The Match 6-1, 6-4, 6-4
Easy stuff for the world no.1 as he won the opener with a comfortable 6-1 to then cruise in the next 2 sets in style. The match ended in 2 hours and 38 minutes, Actually, Roger is just “too much” for these kind of happenings against “not top players”.
From Roger
“The first set actually on the score looks the easiest but could have been one of the tougher ones”, Federer said. “The result doesn’t always show how tough it was. But I was in control most of the time.”
From Haase
There was a funny comment from Haase about playing Federer
“Incredibly difficult. It’s the spin and speed he puts on the ball that stand out. I can hit a ball ten centimetres from his baseline and he gets it back deep into my court, with no trouble at all. When he hits the ball ten centimetres from my baseline, it’s a totally different shot and I’m barely able to keep the ball in play. It’s a joy to watch, really. Unless it’s you on the court.”
In the following “useless” match Chiudinelli lost 6-2 7-6 (4) to De Bakker.
