Federer wins #9
No surprises at the US Open final yesterday. I was glad to see Roddick put up a fight, but in the end it was Federer winning in 4 sets. His 9th career major. I am always impressed by the way Federer elevates his game when he's under pressure. Roddick was in a good position to force a third set tiebreaker, and, with his strong serve, he would have had a great chance to take a 2 sets to 1 lead. But Federer raised his game and broke Roddick to win the set 7-5. He did the same thing in last year's final against Agassi. It's good to see Roddick playing well, though, and it will be interesting to see how he does in Australia in January.
