In a tie-breaking third set, world No. 4 Novak Djokovic beat world No. 1 Roger Federer at the 2007 Rogers Cup Men’s Final in Montreal. With the win, Djokovic became the first player in over ten years to beat the world No. 3, No. 2 and No. 1 players en route to a championship. Quite an amazing feat for a twenty-year-old!

The match was a treat for any tennis fan, with spectacular aces and blistering forehands. Federer looked a little shaky in the first set, with numerous unforced errors and lost the tie-breaker 7-2. In the second set however, he reminded the world why he’s ranked No. 1 by completely dominating Djokovic, winning 6-2. This set the stage for a third and final set, which went down to the wire with another tie-breaker which Djokovic decisively won, 7-2.

Regardless of the loss, Roger Federer put on a great show and it’s a treat to watch the man play. All the best to both Federer and Djokovic. Overall, an excellent tournament.
