   Points won by each set: | 44-34, 33-21, 25-11 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   31 % Federer – 25 of 79
   16 % Blake – 15 of 89

   [14] Blake led *4:1 in the 1st set, he was two points away from winning that set at *5:4… lost the last 9 games of the final. “It’s special,” Federer [1] said. “Obviously I like records once in a while. I’m happy I’ve made one here. He really got the better of me in the beginning, so I had to react and not panic. I did a good job there.” Federer was two games away from losing in the third round to O.Rochus.

   Federer’s route to his 36th title:
   2 Nicolas Massu 6-3, 7-6(4)
   3 Olivier Rochus 3-6, 6-2, 7-5
   4 Richard Gasquet 6-3, 6-4
   Q Ivan Ljubicic 6-2, 6-3
   S Paradorn Srichaphan 6-2, 6-3
   W James Blake 7-5, 6-3, 6-0

   # Federer was serving first vs Rochus in the deciding set and had no problems to hold at 4-all & 5-all
