   Points won by each set: | 37-37, 25-32, 28-22, 48-41, 27-11 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   31 % Federer – 48 of 151
   24 % Monfils – 39 of 157

   In the 4th set Monfils squandered two match points at 5:4* (40/15) – backhand error & Fed’s FH winner down the line. Until the 3rd set Monfils enjoyed his longest set-winning streak: 14 (had won 26 in a row as a junior in 2004). Fed leads 8-2 in their H2H.
   “Match point” matches: Federer 13-14 (his first win from MP-down in 5 sets), Monfils 8-7… Five-setters: Federer 23-19, Monfils 12-9
   Federer came back from a two-set deficit for the 9th time in his career at the time, in turn Monfils had lost thrice despite a 2-0 lead in sets. In the Open Era more ‘0-2’ Federer has won ten times from 0-2 in sets, only three players have done it too: Andy Murray, Boris Becker and Aaron Krickstein. Federer’s ten comebacks:
