   Crucial game of the 2-hour 25-minute final came at 2-all in the 3rd set when Federer fought off a triple break point (Roddick took another game on serve after 7 deuces). Federer won seven games in a row from 5-all in that set and almost got another game – the American withstood first match point serving at 0:5 in the 4th set. “I think you have to look at the tournament as a whole and I’ve played some great shots all the way,” said Federer. “It’s been absolutely fantastic. I’m glad it all worked out because tonight was very difficult against Andy.” It was Roddick’s first major being coached by the five-time US Open champion Jimmy Connors. They cooperated at six majors in total, never reaching the final again… ‘2006’ it was the first year in history that in both, men’s & women’s tours, the same player reached all four major finals: Federer & Justine Henin-Hardene.

   Federer’s route to his 41st title:
   1 Jimmy Wang 6-4, 6-1, 6-0
   2 Tim Henman 6-3, 6-4, 7-5
   3 Vince Spadea 6-3, 6-3, 6-0
   4 Marc Gicquel 6-3, 7-6(2), 6-3
   Q James Blake 7-6(7), 6-0, 6-7(9), 6-4
   S Nikolay Davydenko 6-1, 7-5, 6-4
   W Andy Roddick 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1
