The champion rallied with a break of his own to level at 4-4 and he then had
four break points to lead 6-5 but with his backhand badly misfiring, Agassi
saved all, eliciting a standing ovation from the crowd.
It went to a tie-break and just as he had done against Lleyton Hewitt in the
semi-finals, Federer stepped up a gear with seven points in a row to win 7/1.
The confidence had visibly seeped away away from Agassi and, sensing victory,
Federer went in for the kill jumping out into a 5-0 lead and serving out for the
championship two games later after the 2hrs 20mins final.
