Always up to the host to decide how long a round will take in the end.

All first rounds are over now and our match has just ended: TWM-Fox (Federer) defeats VMoe86 (Youzhny) 6-4, 6-4.
Youzhny does not have the firepower to hurt Federer, so I had to play smart to keep the scoreline close. There is just not much you can do on return when you see 137mph serves and an average serve speed of 123mph (his 1st serve percentage at 63). Adding the fact that TWM-Fox is a strong player himself (varying with slices and spins and normal shots, thus we had around 25% rallies with more than 8 shots) he could draw some short replies on which he could tee off.
He was Federer-like on break points: 2/15.

I was 0/0.

It was a fun match, though. Welcome to the tour, TWM-Fox and good luck in the next round!
