Sighter#4 - James Blake

Match on.....Blake stuns Federer to win the third set in a tiebreaker. Its great quality tennis from both sides with the 30 stroke rally in the tiebreaker confirming that Federer's defense isn't exactly defense. On the run, while at full stretch his forehand comes back with depth and spin. Blake can only keep going for the lines....which he did and won!

Blake has been in prominence for a year now. His comeback started just before the Open last year and since, has remained in the limelight. One thing is certain. He is the most aggressive retunrner of serve out there. It was suspected during his El Clasico with Andre Agassi in the QF of US Open'05. It has a stamp of approval now, considering that it is Federer's serve he is up against.

Go James! Keep the tradition alive....

Update: Federer up 5-2 and serving for a place in the Semi!

lol....'sighter' implies 'insight'. Thought that insight might sound too presumptuous, so, came up with 'Sighter'....modest personality, that I am.
