[7/1, 0/7, 7/2] in tie-breaks… bizarre, exceptionally quick (2 hours 6 minutes) all-tie-break three-setter # In each set the winner wasn’t even five points away from losing the set. Roddick [2] had his only break point in Safin’s first service game, in turn Safin [9] in Roddick’s first of the final set – the American risked his second serve and hit a forehand winner down the line.
