FED AND CANAS

 

39 minutes is what Roger Federer needed to capture the first set versus his "dark horse" Guillermo Canas. The Swiss seemed extremely fit on the court.

6 aces and one break allowed for the Swiss an easy first set win. Which is exactly what he needed to get the confidence level needed when facing an opponent he does not like to face on a surface he doesn't necessarily like to play on.

In the second set, "Willy" held serve and picked up some momentum which he clearly lacked of in the 1st set. He even forced Roger to defend a break point when serving down 2-3. The Swiss however, defended successfully and squared the score at 3 all. Up 40-15 on his serve Canas saw himself comfortably moving up 4-3. Unfortunately, for him, that is when Federer decided to take control of things. He came back and broke Canas to go up 4-3 and serving. Despite some nice defense on behalf of the Argentine, it was all about "Rogde". Canas would not score another game as Federer goes through to the third round.
