The Cincinnatti event represents the first time anyone has won a Masters 1000 or equivalent event in straight sets without dropping serve.

Even Nadals crushing clay wins didn't include that particular statistic.

I'm not sure how many break points he even faced. Perhaps three?

Federer v Tomic - BPs saved 0/0, converted 3/6.
Federer v Fish - BPs saved 0/0, converted 2/4.
Federer v Wawrinka - BPs saved 2/2, converted 2/10. (Interesting).
Federer v Djokovic - BPs saved 0/0, converted 3/4.

Impressive for Federer that Djokovic had not had his serve broken all week, then Federer broke him the first 3 times.

You read stats like that and wonder who can stop him in New York.

Incredible.

Just been watching highlights of Fed's matches at Cinci. Apart from the good service record, the thing that stood out was just how amazingly attacking Rog was. He was really going for it, coming into the net quite a lot and playing very aggressively.
Still don't think his volleying is as good as it could be, although his drop shotting is deadly.
