thanks, Santi (found your first name through a quick pm search)!! I look forward to the clip, as it will complete my greatest work ever
I agree that it was one of the best, certainly better than the overrated Federer vs. Nadal Wimby 08
Safin playing at his best, on fire vs. Federer playing at his prime (perhaps not on fire though).
Safin was hitting low percentage shots at a high percentage rate and Federer saved an insane amount of match points, crucial break points but in the end was not able to capitalize on his only MP, I think.
