And Federer ends up right where I said he would. 3-1 though I was wrong about him winning a set 6-0. He had a match point at 5-0 but could only 'scrape' home 6-1.
* "Like the poet Carl Sandberg's description of fog, Federer comes whispering in on little cat feet. He rarely looks hurried. He hits silky, easy-looking winners from seemingly untenable positions. He seems surprised, even irritated, when he hits the ball out."
* "He's improving as well," said Roddick, "which is scary."
* "James Blake, after losing to Federer in the quarterfinals, called him "the best athlete of our time -- not tennis player, athlete.""
* "He's just a genius with the racket," Navratilova said earlier in the day. "Probably at his best, he was better than anybody else at their best."

I guess that just about says it all, eh?
