FEDERER HIGHLIGHTS

• Dominant serving - 83% 1st serve points won - 61% 2nd serve points won - broken twice in 77 service games

• Very solid baseline play so far - great forehand (66 winners only 57 unforced errors), more aggressive backhand (32 backhand winners) and very aggressive and effective at net (won 135 of 178 net approaches)

• Has matched Nadal's return of serve numbers through five rounds, breaking serve 30% of the time - his question mark is his ability to convert break chances - he's converted just 33% (22 of 66)
