13.00 FEDERER WINS AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2010
Federer has beaten Andy Murray in straight sets in the 2010 Australian Open final. Federer beat Murray 6-3 6-4 7-6(11) to clinch his 16 Grand Slam title, his 4th Australian Open and his 1st Grand Slam as a father!
The match started out pretty
good for Federer. He held his service game after being down
0-30. After that he immideately broke Murray's service to go up
*2-0. Unfortuantely he could not keep his service that game and
got broken back. The second set was all Federer. Of course strengthened by the fact that he won the first set he started playing even better. He broke Murray early to take a *2-1 lead. After that Federer held with ease and had a lot of chances to go up a double break. Something he did not do against Del Potro in the US Open final and that cost him dearly. But not this time. Federer was just too strong at this point. He continued his easy service games and won the second set 6-4. The third set proved to bit a bit more difficult. Murray dragged Federer's quality of game down to his level and had more chances this set. Federer probably lost a bit of sharpness and focus after getting up 2 sets to 0. Murray managed to break Federer after a sloppy game. He went on to take a *5-3 lead and served for the set. But at that time Federer was back in action and managed to rebreak his opponent. Federer and Murray then both held their games to go to a tiebreak. It turned out to be a long and exciting tiebreak. Murray getting 5 setpoints in total this set. But some relatively easy misses from him and some good play from Federer on those points ensured Murray did not win a set. On his 3rd matchpoint Federer took the match and the championship leaving Murray with his second defeat in his second Grand Slam final.

13.35 Federer has made it to his 22nd Grand Slam final of his career (a record as well) after destroying Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France: 6-2 6-3 6-2 Federer was in full flight and dismissed the Frenchmen after just 1,5 hours of play. He broke Tsonga 5 times and did not face a breakpoint himself. Even though Tsonga clearly did not have the right game plan, or at least he could not execute it, Federer was still much better in every department and gave the crowd and viewers some incredible shots again. Federer will now play the final on sunday against Andy Murray. This is Andy Murray's second Grand Slam final. He lost his first to Federer at the 2008 US Open. Let's hope it will be a repeat of that. The final will be on sunday 7.30 PM local time. Funny on-court interview with Courier by Federer:

27-01-2010 12.57 Federer is in his 23rd consecutive Semi Final in a Grand Slam after beating in form Nikolay davydenko: 2-6 6-3 6-0 7-5. It was going
to be a tough day against Davydenko, a player who had not yet
lost this season. And from the beginning it was. Federer simply
had no answer to Davydenko's fast and perfect game until he was
down 2-6 *1-3 and multiple breakpoints to go 1-4 behind. Federer won the next 13 games in a row to lead 2-6 6-3 6-0 2-0* before Davydenko finally managed to win a game again. An extraordinary turn around. For a while there it looked like Federer was going to be 2 sets to 0 down, but like the fighter he is, he hung around and managed to turn things around. Federer did get broken back by Davydenko in the fourth and was down 3 BP's to go down 3-5* but with 5 perfect serves he managed to get out of that situation. He then broke Davydenko himself to serve for the match. He had matchpoint but out of nowhere Davydenko produced 3 brilliant return winners of off Federer's first serve and broke back. Federer then broke Davydenko back after a long game. This time he managed to serve out the match and continue his quest for his 4th Australian Open title. Federer will now play the winner of Tsonga - Djokovic in the Semi Final. Match Point:

25-01-2010 20.50 Federer has also beaten Australian Lleyton Hewitt (for the 15th time in a row) and is now in the quarter finals. Federer played a superb match wth some brilliant shots to get past Hewitt: 6-2 6-3 6-4.
Federer will now play against Nikolay Davydenko. Federer has lost the last 2 matches against Davydenko. And Davydenko has become pretty cocky about it, also saying Federer (and Nadal) must be scared of him. He also thinks Federer (and Nadal) have no life and he doesn't like it that they order roomservice and not join him at the dinner table. And yes, this is true. Pfff..

24-01-2010 16.40 Federer is through to the last 16 after beating Spaniard Albert Montanes in straight sets: 6-3 6-4 6-4.
Federer broke Montanes once each set and did not allow any breakpoints on his own serve. He will now play against Lleyton Hewitt . Pictures from Federer vs. Montanes:

21-01-2010 22.25 As you can see, I am back. Had a nice holiday. I will try and update some more from now on. Just don't expect it to be on full capacity already.
I know 99% percent of the
pictures don't work yet.. Would have hoped this was fixed
already.. Just know that the pictures I am posting now will work. As you probably know, Federer was in great form today/last night and beat Hanescu in straght sets. After a tough match against Andreev Federer looked very sharp. Of course Hanescu is a much easier opponent vor Federer given the fact that Andreev plays a bit like Nadal. With the high topspin to the backhand. Always a tough opponent when he is on. Look at the 2008 US Open. But anyway, he won. Here are some pictures from today:

Davydenko beats Federer, 2009 season is over Federer's 2009 is over. He lost today in the semi finals of the World Tour Final in London to Nikolay Davydenko, 6-2 4-6 7-5. It was his first loss to Davydneko in 13 matches. Just like all the other matches in London, Federer started poorly. Although, he did win the first 6 points of the match and got 2 breakpoints on Davydenko's first service game. But from that moment on, Federer was not his usual self. He was broken 3 times in the opening set. He got 1 break back, but was broken back after that. Federer lost the set 6-2. I had the feeling today that Federer was just a bit off. He was not moving as fast as he normally does, his shots were not as penetrating as they normally are. Besides the first set, I don't think he played that bad. But as said, he just couldn't find the click today. He was looking a bit flat. But even not playing his best he managed to win the second set. Just like all the other matches. Things were pretty even and Federer was winning his own games with authority again. But was still not making many inroads on Davydenko's serve. Until 5-4* Davydenko serving. Like many matches against Federer, in the latter stages of the set the Russian failed to produce. Today as well. He got broken and thereby lost the set. Normally Federer would roll over his opponent after winning a set like that. But today just was not one of those days. I feel he was still in control in this set but just like the match against Del Potro one bad service game cost him the match. After getting to 0-30 after a brilliant shot at 5-4* Davydenko serving, (see the video below) Federer failed to push through. At 5-5 Federer made 4 unforced errors in his own service game, after holding with ease in the rest of the set, and got broken. Davydenko was now serving for the match. Their was hope in the hearts of Federer fans as Davydenko has often choked games away against Federer. And after again a fantastic point from Federer, he got a breakpoint to break back. But Davydenko saved it with a great point of his own. And later managed to serve out the game and beat Federer for the last time this season. Another season has ended. And even though we have had some sad losses, their have been many more great victories for Federer. On and off court. See you in Abu Dhabi in 32 days Roger! Pictures:

26-11-2009 00.35 Federer loses, but is through to semis with Del Potro Wow, Federer came very close of being out of the tournament today. A couple of points the other way and Federer would not be in the semis this saturday. But thankfully that was not the case. He did lose the match to a very good Del Potro though: 6-2 6-7(5) 6-3. Right from the start it was looking like a very tough day for Federer today. He got broken immediately in his first game just like the Verdasco match. He again did not play his best tennis in the first set. Especially his own service games were difficult. Del Potro on the other hand was walking through them. With big serves and massive forehands from the baseline he was dictating play. Federer did not get any breakpoints in the first and second set. Del Potro was just too good. Federer lost his serve again in the first set and went down a double break. Del Potro did not slip up and won the first set very convincingly, 6-2. It was looking very tough for Federer to go through now. He needed to win a set at least to go on. But the way things were looking, this was difficult enough. As said, in the second set Federer also did not get any breakpoints. Even though he played better, Del Potro was still dictating play with his serves, forehands and backhands. But the difference this set was that Federer was holding his own serve much more convincingly. But he could not get close to breaking the Argentines serve. Getting to the tiebreak and try it there was the only solution. And that happened. Even though all the time it looked like Del Potro was going to win this tiebreak, he was up a minibreak twice, Federer managed to pull it out. VERY important set because this gauranteed him in the semi finals. 7-6. The third set was only to decide the other player that would go through with Federer. But of course Federer also wanted to win this match. If Federer would have won, Murray and Federer would be through. If Del Potro were to win, he would only go through if Federer did not get more then 3 games in the final set. So if Federer would have gotten 4 games, Del Potro would have been out and Murray would be in. And it was looking like that was the case. Federer was holding serve with ease this set and finally got some breakpoints on Del Potro's serve. But he could not convert. He came, twice I believe, within a point (breakpoint on Del Potro's serve) of eliminating Del Potro and gauranteeing Murray's passage through. But twice he could not convert also bacuase of an brilliant second serve from Del Potro. Now Federer had to serve at 4-3* to try and eliminate Del Potro. That would surely be the case as he was holding serve convincingly. But the only escape Del Potro had, was taken by the big guy. With some luck he got to 0-15. Then Federer came to the net and Del Potro played a lob, Federer had to go way back and smash it, but it just landed outside the lines, 0-30. Then un unforced error all of a sudden gave Del Potro 3 breakpoints, out of nowhere. And he converted. Del Potro took his only escape. He then served out the set and the match making sure he and Federer, and not Murray, would go through to the semi final. Incredible escape and very, very unlucky for Murray. (Even though that did bring a huge smile on my face :D) Federer is first in group A and Del Potro second. Their opponents will be decided tomorrow when group B play their final matches. Pictures:

25-11-2009 00.35 Federer beats Murray, clinches year end number one spot A great evening for Federer today. Not only did he beat Murray to greatly improve his chances on making it to the semi finals, but he also clinches the year end number one spot. Rafael Nadal can not overtake Federer anymore this year. This puts Federer in a great position to overtake Sampras' record for most weeks at number one. Federer is also only the second player ever to regain the number one spot after losing it. This is Federer's fifth year end number one. Federer improved his head to head with Andy Murray to 4-6. He is still trailing the Brit though. Federer beat Andy Murray with: 3-6 6-3 6-1. Federer started excellent as he immediately broke Murray's serve to go up *1-0. But unfortunately he got broken right back in his first service game. Murray got more and more into the match and Federer was again not playing great in the first set. It was nowhere near as bad as it was against Verdasco, but it was not as good as he can play. Later in the set Federer got broken by Murray and was down 5-2*. He held his own serve but could not prevent Murray from taking his. Even though he got back to deuce after being down 40-0. Murray won the first set 6-3. But just like his match the day before yesterday against Verdasco, he played a lot better in the second. Ninja Fed was back in business. Playing attacking, aggressive tennis, Federer was clearly the better player. At the same score as Murray broke Federer in the first set, Federer broke Murray this time. He went up *4-2. Both players then held their service games and by doing so, Federer won the second set. Federer's third sets have not been his best as his level had clearly dropped in a lot of them. But not this time. He even played better then in the second and gave Murray no chance. An early break at 2-1* put Federer in the drivers seat. Unfortunately a bit later we lost the image feed as a satelite dish outside the O2 stadium was blown over by the wind and the screens went black. During this 'downtime' Federer managed to break Andy Murray again to go up *4-1. At 5-2* Murray serving Federer managed to break his opponent for the third time his set and take the match. A great victory with many positive sides to it. He has now won both of his RR matches, but is still not certain to advance to the semifinals. He might actually need to beat Del Potro if Murray wins in straight sets against Verdasco. It could be that winning a set against Del Potro will be enough but I am not sure. We'll see how it plays out. Just beat Del Potro and all problems will be gone! Federer will play against Del Potro on thursday. Pictures:

23-11-2009 00.35 Federer wins first Round Robin match It was not looking like it in the beginning but Federer has won his first match at the World Tour Final in London. Federer beat Verdasco 4-6 7-5 6-1. Federer got off to the worst start possible as he was immediately broken in his first service game. And mostly because of his own errors. It looked like Federer took his 'Paris' form to London. In the first set Federer was spraying forehands all over the place again. Every time he got a small chance, he made some errors and verdasco could win the game. He also had trouble holding some games. Verdasco on the other hand was playing solid, good tennis. Also hurting Federer was the fact that could not get a grip on Verdasco's serve. Therefore the Spaniard got a lot of free points. Not suprisingly, Verdasco took the first set. The second set was different. Even though he was not playing at his best, he was also not playing that bad. He controlled his shots a lot more, served better and most important, you could see he wanted to win. He was really fighting after the first set. He also knew it was not good enough and he shifted up a gear. He was holding with more ease and made it difficult for Verdasco. But he was still not able to break Verdasco. When he got the lead in Verdasco's game, he was still too sloppy to break. Until 5-5. At this point he did manage to break Verdasco's serve and serve out the set. A much better set. The third set was looking great from Federer's side. Even though Verdasco faded a lot this set, Federer was getting more confident with his shots and was playing great. He ran to a 5-0* lead. Verdasco managed to hold serve once, but Federer did not gave him anything more. He served it out and took an important win. Especially since Verdasco is considered the weakest link in the group, this was a must win match. So if you forget the first set, Federer actually played pretty well. And the most important thing, he was fighting for the win and managed to turn his poor play around in some good tennis! Federer will now play Andy Murray (who beat Del Potro today in 3 sets) on tuesday. Pictures:

10.45 Federer loses to Benneteau Unfortunately Federer first match in this 2009 Masters Series of Paris, turned out to be his last. Federer was beaten by Benneteau with 3-6 7-6(4) 6-4. In a tournament that Federer never really did well in, he has played it only 7 times and the furthest he got was a quarter final (3 times), Federer started well. He held his own service games with authority and made Benneteau work for his. The break at 2-1* was deserved. Both players then held serve and Federer served it out, 3-6.
The second set also began good
for Federer. In fact, in the entire second set, Federer had only
had one tough service game. And even though he wasn't playing
great, he was still the best player out there. But it must be
said then from the second set on, Benneteau played some very
solid tennis. He was also not letting Roger break him. He was an
inspired man in front of his homecrowd. The third set was very poor from Federer. He got broken early on and had to fight to keep his service games. Benneteau had quite some chances to go up a double break. Federer did get some chances to get back. He had a 0-30 and a 15-40 in 2 games. But from both scores on he did not win a single point. So Bennetaeu won the match, 3-6 7-6(4) 6-4. Quite a disappointing result for Federer who now really needs to do well in London (if Nadal has a good result here) to clinch the year end number one. But his game needs to improve as it has been very shaky the last 2 games. Federer was also not lucky that he played against an inspired, very strong playing Benneteau. Both Blake and Almagro should have won against Murray and Nadal, but those 2 failed, where Benneteau did not. So now Roger has to get ready for his last tournament of the year: Londen, the Year End Masters Cup. Good luck! Pictures:

09-11-2009 18.30 Federer loses Basel final Unfortunately Federer has lost the Basel final to Djokovic. In his worst match of the tournament Djokovic beat him 6-4 4-6 6-2. The quality of the first set was pretty high. Both players held their serves with ease and did so with more winners the unforced errors, until 4-4... This was a very sloppy game from Federer which cost him a break. All of a sudden Federer's forehand went missing again. He made error after error with it. Federer did get many chances to break back the next game as Djokovic his game also suddenly dropped miles down. But in the end after many setpoints and breakpoints, Djokovic held serve to take the opening set. Djokovic immediately broke Federer the next game and took a 2-0* lead. Even though his forehand was still on a holiday, he broke back to tie things up at 2-2. At 5-4* Djokovic, who served quite some double faults (obviously he needed to be more aggressive on his 2nd as it was killed in their previous match in Cincinnati by Federer), was forced to serve to stay in the set. He failed to do so and lost it 6-4. The third set again was a bad one from Federer. He went down a double break in his set. Got a chance to at least break back once, but failed to do so. Djokovic took the last set 6-2. Federer will now play Paris next. It has already started and Federer will play wednesday. Pictures:

07-11-200916.25 Federer in 4th consecutive Basel final Federer is through to the final of Basel, an ATP 500 tournament, after beating long time friend and fellow Swiss Marco Chiudinelli. In a match that was a bit tougher then his previous ones Federer defeated Chudinelli 7-6(7) 6-3. For the first time this week Federer has been taken the distance in a set. He was forced to play a tiebreak after Chiudinelli kept hanging on. Federer did get some breakpoint is the first set but could not convert. Chiudinelli was especially serving very strong which made things difficult for Federer. It took a tiebreak, in which Chiudinelli also got a setpoint, to take the first set. The second went a lot easier. Federer held his own service game and broke Chiudinelli right after that to take a comfortable *2-0 lead. He went on to 3-0* and Chiudinelli then held. Both players then kept their service games until the end, at which Federer served out the match to go to his 4th consecutive Basel final. He will play Novak Djokovic in tomorrows final at 15.15 in the afternoon. Pictures: ALL PICTURES FROM BASEL: HERE Also, recently uploaded galleries:

10.25 Federer eases to SF Another easy match yesterday for Federer as he had no problems with Korolev. Federer needed just 55 minutes to seal the deal. A little bit less then Federers average per match. Federer broke Korolev at 3-2* in the first set to take a *4-2 lead. He then had to fight of 2 breakpoints in the next game. He managed to do so and went on to hold his serve: 5-2*. Korolev then held and Federer served out the first set, 6-3. Korolev got 1 game less in the second set. It was even till 2-1* but then Federer took the next 5 games to take the set and the match. Federer will now play fellow Swiss Marco Chiudinelli (his doubles partner here in Basel) today, right after the Stepanek - Djokovic match. Pictures: ALL PICTURES FROM BASEL: HERE

05-11-2009 00.52 Federer cruises to last 8 Federer is through to the last 8 players after easily beating Andreas Seppi from Italy. Federer was too strong and beat the Italian 6-3 6-3. Again a match where Federer hardly had to break a sweat: just the way we like it. Federer was too strong on serve and never really gave Seppi a chance to break. Let alone win a set or even the match. On the other hand Federer had chances in a lot of games. The match started pretty even with both players holding serve. At 3-2*, Seppi serving, Federer made his move. He broke the Italian and never looked back. He eased to a simple win in the first set. The second set was pretty much the same. Seppi could hang with Federer for a short time and after Federer got the break, Seppi had no chance. He broke Seppi for the second time to take the match, 6-3 6-3. Federer, just like yesterday, played a solid match. Again a fantastic point, this time in the beginning of the second set. There were some sloppy errors, but then again, with Federers playing style there will always be these kind of errors. And when the winners greatly exceed the errors, it is going well. Federer will now play Jeremy Chardy of France on friday. Pictures: ALL PICTURES FROM BASEL: HERE

21.40 Federer returns to action with a win over Rochus Federer is back in action after a 6 week vacation/recovery time. In his hometown Basel he played against Belgium Olivier Rochus. Federer won the match 6-3 6-4. Finally the wait is over. We can see Roger back in action! It has been a long time since we saw him but he is back.! Unfortunately I was not able to see the match but from what I have read, Federer was looking good! A bit rusty, as is expected, in the beginning but after a few games Federer was playing great again. Movement was good, Forehand was good, backhand was ok, service went wel. And of course when Federer is playing that way, very few can stop him. Federer broke Rochus once in each set to cruise to the victory. He did not face a breakpoint. He will now play Italian Andreas Seppi in the next round. P.S. Federer will also play in the doubles tournament, He will play his first match tommorow. Pictures: ALL PICTURES FROM BASEL: HERE

10-10-2009 22.56 UPDATE Unfortunately the pictures that were already uploaded are lost because of the trouble the host has had. So I will have to upload all the pictures again. If you go to the pictures page you can see what galleries are back online. Green means it has been reuploaded and you can see the pictures again, black means that the pictures are NOT fixed yet and red means the gallery is not yet available. So only GREEN galleries can be seen! -------------------------- As all of you have noticed, the pictures are still down. That is because the site that hosts the pictures is undergoing maintenance. I also know the host is not the best and fastest host there is, but I get some money for every picture that is viewed. And since I do not get enough from donations (again, please donate something to ensure the site's future!) I am hosting there. The sites uploading ability will be back soon, but I don't know when all the other pictures will be available. So keep coming back to see! Hopefully all problems will be resolved soon! Greetings, RFP

21-09-2009 11.35 Davis Cup tennis update: Switzerland remains in the world group after Federer beat Potito Starace (how cool is that name?) from Italy. Federer eased passed Starace in 1 hour and 43 minutes, beating the number 91 in the world 6-3 6-0 6-4. It were tough condition for Federer as it was raining a bit and conditions were very slow. At 6-3 4-0 play was suspended for 140 minutes due to the rain. But Federer did not let that get to him and gave Starace a nice bagel when play continued. In the final set Federer needed only one break to keep Switzerland where they want to be. Federer will now have a two week break before the Japan Open begins on october 5th. Federer really needs this break as he said afterwords his leg and arm are hurting since the US Open final. Switzerlands 5th match, which did not matter anymore, was lost by Lammer against Fognini. Oh and by the way, Federer AGAIN scored a point with a between the legs shot!

19-09-2009 18.40 Davis Cup tennis update: As it turned out, Federer did not play the doubles match today. He was replaced by Chiudinelli. Chiudinelli and Wawrinka lost todays doubles match against Bolelli and Starace 6-2 6-4 7-6(3). Most likely Federer is playing tomorrow against Seppi. After that match, Wawrinka will play Bolelli. But let's hope Federer wins his match and take a deciding lead. Pictures from today:

18-09-2009 18.30 Davis Cup tennis update: After Wawrinka easily defeated Andreas Seppi in the first match of the Davis Cup encounter, Federer did the same to Bolelli, 6-3 6-4 6-1. Federer never came in trouble this match. Not even the change of surface was a problem for Federer (Italy decided to play their matches on clay). In the first set Federer only needed one break to clinch the first set. He broke Bolelli at 4-3 to go up 5-3. He then served out the first set. In the second Federer again went up a break, this time at 1-1. But this time Bolelli broke Federer back to tie the score at 2 all. But Federer was not letting this match go on to long. He broke Bolelli again the very next game. This time he did not let himself get broken back. He won the second 6-4. The third set was a very easy one. With a two set lead it was going to be very difficult for Bolelli to get back and.... he did not. A couple of breaks later Federer had won the third set and therefore the match. In 1 hour and 40 minutes Federer eased to victory. Scheduled for tomorrow is Federer and Wawrinka against Fognini and Starace. Luthi has not yet confirmed if Federer and Wawrinka will play.
But Switzerland is off to a
good start and are leading 2-0. Pictures:
