Federer vs Nadal MS Monte Carlo 2006 Final

[TJFederer15]

This was one topsy turvy match full of momentum turns, was a great match could have been a similar match to there absolutely classic match in Rome if Fed could have perhaps taken that 4th set tiebreak and go into a 5th, great to look back on.

federer landed too short forehands on crucial ocassions. he should have won this match...up a break in the third, up a break in the fourth set tiebreak.

[dvsk89]

Im confused why this final was 3 out of 5 sets?

[mitroveca]

@dvsk89 cause prior to 2007 when atp decided to ruin the masters , all the masters series safe for canada and cincy had best-of-5 finals and we didnt have to wait 4-5 months for a grand slam to see an epic final.

[MendesMarques]

@mitroveca that atp decision was made because of the players that asked for a better and less tiring calendar.. the best of 5 set finals were super long and tiring for the players.. it was almost slavery!

[mariomarcano]

Also, it was because of Nadal and Federer's unreal match in the 2006 Rome Master final... after that match, both Nadal and Federer decided to withdraw from the Hamburg Master... the ATP, unhappy with that decision, and trying to avoid this to happen again, decided to put away the best of 5-set finals in the Master Series...

[mitroveca]

@MendesMarques well, yes i fully understand that point. but that decissin

[cj397]

@dvsk89 they used to that in the masters 1000's..

[leoaxe]

at that time masters series finals were best of 5.

[leoaxe]

@dvsk89 at that time masters series finals were best of 5.

Fed should attack flatter with his forehand imo, even on clay

[hattrickster33]
