Points won by each set: | 32-26, 33-25, 26-16 |
Points won directly behind the serve:
42 % Federer – 32 of 75
18 % Simon – 15 of 83
[2] Federer used to struggle against Simon (two five-setters required at 7-2 H2H) due to lack of weakness in any of [23] Simon’s wings, but when they met on Federer’s fave surface/Simon’s least favourite, the match was one-sided. The Swiss player already led 5:3* in the 2nd set holding easily, but at 5:4 he was broken at ‘love’ despite 116 successive service holds – one of the best streaks in history. There were two rain breaks (after the first three games, then at 6:5, 15/0).
