It was a great match for Federer basically from start to finish, who broke down in tears after losing to Nadal in the 2009 Australian Open final but had no issues on Tuesday at the O2 Arena. “I was able to do what I was hoping to do: dominate from the baseline, play close to the baseline, serve well, take his time away”,said Federer.
LONDON: No tears, no drama, no contest. The 26th episode of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal’s compelling rivalry turned out to be one of their most one-sided.
Federer took exactly 1 hour to win 6-3, 6-0 and qualify for the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals on Tuesday in his most comprehensive victory over the Spaniard.
Pinned behind the baseline, Nadal found Federer’s forehand unplayable. From 2-2 in the first set, Federer won 10 of the next 11 games. He finished with 28 winners to Nadal’s four.
