   One of many tournaments in the years 2004-2007 when Federer [1] was almost unbeatable presenting unbearable lightness. That event he won not dropping a service game, defeating four potential Top 5 players, not playing 5-all even once (despite facing three opponents with big serves)! “I am extremely happy to start the new year in such fine fashion,” Federer said. “I am sure this win will give me great confidence going into the Australian Open.” – in that tournament he lost quite unexpectedly in the semifinal to Marat Safin. The first of three finals that year Ljubicic [22] lost to his future pupil.

   Federer’s route to his 23rd title:
   1 David Ferrer 6-1, 6-1
   3 Greg Rusedski 6-3, 6-4
   Q Feliciano Lopez 6-1, 6-2
   S Nikolay Davydenko 6-3, 6-4
   W Ivan Ljubicic 6-3, 6-1
