7-6,7-6,2-6,1-6,6-7

That doesn't happen everyday. The last time he lost this way was against Lleyton Hewitt at David Cup, 2003. He has become invincible since then. But that's not what I mean. The way he came back to the match after being down 0-4 in the final set was incredible.

What's the reason? After the match, my friend smsed me "what happened to him?" "Fitness" I replied. He got a twisted ankle 6 weeks ago, he missed 2 AMS and one of his favorite tournament, Swiss Indoor. Last week he went to China on one foot! I don’t defend him, but his spirit inspired me. From the beginning, when he came out from the changing room, I felt sth wrong, he was heavier than usual. The way he won the first two sets made me worry. Then he lost the 3^rd and 4^th sets, was down 0-4 in the final before struggling to serve for the match at 6-5. He lost finally. Fatigue? Yes. The injured foot was never at 100% the whole tournament long, but that actually didn’t bother him. The legs killed him. He couldn’t push off, couldn’t stand the long rallies. Anyway, when ‘the fish was caught in the net’, the great champion showed his qualities in the most difficult time.

It's funny to hear his opponent saying: "After knowing you a long time - don't worry, you'll win a lot more trophys. Let me keep this one."

This would be a happy ending if he won, but his opponent deserved to win.
