   27 out of 33 games included to the stats (81%)

   Federer’s third final and the first title. He was trailing 2:4* (30/40) in the opening set – threw his racquet then, and Boutter [67] committed a double fault (the Frenchman faced break points in all his service games of the opener – broken thrice)… In the 2nd set Federer [27] broke first, but the Frenchman led *5:3 (40/30). In the tie-break Federer squandered a match point at 6:5 – Boutter played a successful serve-and-volley action. The only break of the final set came in the opening game, later on Boutter had a double break point to come back, but failed. Federer’s first victory despite losing an MP-up set. He will win his match No. 1000 giving him the 83rd title 14 years later after identical scoreline. “I think I am improving and I have achieved the first goal in my career. My next goal is to break into the top 15, which is a high aim but not an impossible one. To lose three finals in a row would have been a little uncomfortable mentally. But now I can look forward to the rest of the season with a little of that pressure to win an event off my shoulders.” said the upcoming best players in history, who was 19 years-old at the time…
