Madrid final – Tignor’s take

Madrid final - Tignor's take

Those of you who are allergic to anything that hints of positive talk about Federer, might want to skip this, but I’m posting it because I think Tignor’s sum up of the final is a good one.

A Fresh and Glinting Edge

That said, I didn’t feel like Federer played a great match. Rather, he played the right one, and he executed it just well enough to win. It didn’t involve attacking on every shot—can we retire

All good things must come to an end

All good things must come to an end

It’s Rafa and Roger for the 20th time. The hype machines have been working over-time overnight. Would the match live up to it? It wasn’t really an exciting match and I don’t think it’s my Rafa bias that made me feel that way. Rafa never really pushed Fed on his serve and both players were having a bit of a problem with balls sailing long and wide. In the end, it’s Fed who once again stops Rafa’s run on clay. Federer wins: 4-6 4-6.
