Men' s Singles : A. Seppi def. R. Federer (2) 6-4, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (5) Blush Smile
After 10 consecutive defeats against the Swiss champion, Andreas Seppi managed to beat him, playing a fantastic match : after winning
the first set saving three break-points on 5-4, Seppi served for second set on 5-4, but was broken by Federer due to a lucky net, then in the
tie-break Federer went 4-1 and 5-3, but Seppi won the set scoring 4 consecutive points; Federer tried to reassemble winning the third set, but,
in a fourth set without breaks, in the tie-break Seppi won three consecutive points from 4-5, closing the match with an incredible passing forehand

ATP FINALS OF THE WEEK :

ATP 250 Brisbane : Roger Federer (1) won his 83rd ATP tournament (23rd ATP 250) defeating Milos Raonic (3) 6-4, 6-7 (2), 6-4
in a final well played by both players, in which Federer, after winning the first set with an only break in 3rd game, went 2-0 in second, but Raonic
broke him back in 4th game and was able to score 7 consecutive points to win the tie-break, then in a third set full of spectacular shots and break points saved by both players, Raonic felt the pressure on 4-5 and with a double fault on 30-30 and an unforced error gave the title to Federer.
This was also the 1000th match won in career by the Swiss champion, making him the third in the Open Era to reach this great goal after Jimmy
Connors (1253 matches won) and Ivan Lendl (1071) Thumb up Thumb up
