Facing Feliciano Lopez - a tennis player who has never won a slight advantage after 12 confrontations, Roger Federer has enough experience to control his opponent.
Entering the match full of confidence with a familiar attacking style, "lesson speed" continuously launched direct serve-time dribbles to create pressure on the opponent. In the 6th game, the Swiss tennis player had a spectacular breakthrough to get a break point and quickly ended set 1 with a score of 6-3.
The scenario of set 2 is not much different as both players have preserved their first ball delivery games. The turning point of set 2 came when the 6th game ended with a score of 3-3, Fedex won 3 consecutive games to get a set with a score of 6-3.
Set 3 is important for both players. Federer's notorious left-handed cut made Lopez unable to fight back in the 4th game and suffered a broken heart. However, Federer's advantage could not last long as the Spaniard immediately reclaimed the lost game to shorten the gap to 2-3.
The match was tense until the 12th game and only with courage did Federer win the decisive break to end the match with a score of 7-5.
The next opponent that Fedex will face is a German tennis player - Philipp Kohlschreiber.
