I didn't start rating is as a great final, until the final set. The power serve makes for poor watching. Having said that, I was surprised at the consistency and speed of Federer's serve.
Both strong willed and determined, and there was little to choose between them. Just about fitness in the end.
What it does do though, is set Andy Murray's efforts into context. He had a fair old set to with Roddick.
I had a private tennis lesson on Thursday morning, and have been playing even more rubbish than usual ever since. At least I know what I'm doing wrong now, so that's 10% of the way there.
