This final always slips under the radar and it was a good match... probably because it's overshadowed by the 2008 final.

My goodness, time flies, he was 20 years old and the beginning of his knee injury

No, I never really saw the result as being in doubt in the 2006 encounter. The 2007 match was a good tussle.

 

[Federberg]

It was indeed. I was there live in 2007. First time I'd seen Rafa live, and he blew me away. Rafa was on the attack the whole time, and it was only once the match was over and I was walking home that I realised that Roger had been in front all the way through. It didn't feel like it at all when I was watching it. He was under the kosh from the get go, but his supreme serving always gave him the free games he needed to stay ahead. My buddy who watched it with me, who isn't really a tennis fan, called Roger an ice cold assassin for the way he jumped in and took control in the final set. Who knew that was one of the last times we would see that guy until AO17. Let's hope he's back for good!

I watched this on tv live as a 10 year old kid. I was watching alongside a Nadal fan and I was kind of scared after the second set. But Roger that day came back brilliantly in the 5th set.
