“I think I need some cream cheese with that,” Roger Federer said on inspecting the full-sized golden-dipped bagel. Presenters asked the World’s Number One player if he knew how many bagels he had served during the course of the year. “Six?” Federer guessed. No, he was told, you gave out 12 bagels. “What!” he exclaimed.
Notable wins:
Federer posted the first-ever 6-0, 6-0 score line in the history of the men’s year-end championships in Shanghai, an event which goes back to the first Masters held in New York in 1970. It was also Feds first double bagel of his career. After the 50-minute mauling Gaudio said: “I think I was playing against a guy who’s the best in history and on a surface that he’s so much better than me. There’s not much to say, sometimes this happens, and it happened to me today. It happens in life, but there are things a little bit worse than this.” Yeah, like scraping about on the Challenger tour after you’ve won a Grand Slam title
Federer’s second Double bagel came in one of the worlds greatest stages; Arthur Ashe Stadium, Us Open Final 2004 against leyton Hewitt. He has completely dismantled Hewitt in straight sets to win his 1st Us Open title. “Now that I did it, it’s still tough to believe, At the end of the year especially, I’ll be looking back thinking, “How in the world did I do all this?” Federer said.
Federer has demolished Andy Murray in the World Tour Finals handing him just only one game with 6-0 6-1 victory. Federer said it was an almost perfect performance, but he was not too upset at losing the penultimate game. “Yeah, not so cool because I wouldn’t want to be in that position,” the 17-times grand slam champion told reporters.
“I was happy to get it done. At the end I was happy I didn’t win the second to last game to be quite honest. “It’s uncomfortable. I don’t know. I don’t like it.”
Federer, understandably, could not disguise his pleasure in reversing the humiliation Nadal laid on him in Paris three years ago. “We’ve played so many times [26], sometimes it just derails for you,” he said. “Like it derailed Rafa today, it did for me at the French Open. [I was] very excited, after a tough loss [to Nadal] in Miami this year and a close one in Madrid, that I was able to turn it around again.” You bet he was.
