   Points won by each set: | 24-5, 49-47, 27-12 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   25 % Federer – 23 of 89
   17 % Hewitt – 13 of 75

   Shocking scoreline between the best two players of the first half of the 00s. Federer [1] led 5:3* in 2nd set, in the 10th game he wasted three set points on serve (six deuces). The second Open Era final with two bagel sets (Roland Garros 1977). Prior to 2004, Hewitt [5] had lost just three sets “0-6” and in that year he suffered losing this type of set five times from Federer’s hands!

   Federer’s route to his 20th title:
   1 Albert Costa 7-5, 6-2, 6-4
   2 Marcos Baghdatis 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-3, 6-1
   3 Fabrice Santoro 6-0, 6-4, 7-6(7)
   4 Andrei Pavel w/o
   Q Andre Agassi 6-3, 2-6, 7-5, 3-6, 6-3
   S Tim Henman 6-3, 6-4, 6-4
   W Lleyton Hewitt 6-0, 7-6(3), 6-0
