CAMELOT FANTASIES

Federer won his 6th Basel title today, defeating a bit tired looking David Goffin in straight sets 6-2, 6-2, and the scoreline was probably closer than the play.  David's only chance to hang in would have been to put 75% of his serves in. He didn't, only 49%.  Roger was imperious. Hitting forehands, backhands, volleys, serve all very crisply. 19-11 W/UE for Federer.  almost the reverse for Goffin (11/20).  Goffin was just overpowered and well-schooled in indoor tennis.







Federer's play looks ominous for the end of the year.  Paris is next.  A bit of a tough first round possibly with Chardy who has given Roger trouble at times, but if Roger is not tired from Basel, his form looks too good to lose to Chardy this time.
