Fed looked absolutely amazing in the first set and the start of the 2nd, it was a flash back to earlier years. Forehand was an absolute monster and serve was unstoppable. Fed's level dropped a bit in the 2nd set after he broke a 2nd time for 3-0, Henascu's level was a bit better and finishing the set took a bit longer than planned, but still, no real problems.
Henascu was broken in the 3rd and Fed just steam rolled to the finish with a fresh bagel from the bakery.
indeed. And the result elsewhere today just underlines why any fanbase should just simply celebrate each win their player has - leave the prognostications to others... :haha:
Good to save energy in early rounds. Roger's serve was awesome in the 1st and first half of 2nd set, after that it declined a bit but overall it was a high quality play from Roger. Hope he keeps this to the 2nd week.
Federer totally outplayed Hanescu out there. Total dominance and did a great job returning considering Hanescu had a healthy first serve percentage. If the grass plays like this for 2 weeks and Federer serves like he did in the first 2 sets today then Federer has a real chance if he can keep this level up.
