Roger Federer vs Lleyton Hewitt - US Open 2004 Final: Highlights

keep in mind he has not faced anyone inside the top 20 along this remarkable win streak of his that's a nice way to start the match looks like he just flicked it foring him in three sets just overpowering the erotic at Wimbledon scared better is swinging like he's only break points he knows he's going to have some time cuz he's not a huge [Applause] [Music] hitter and double fold gives Federer a quick early lead nice going Federer's first [Applause] Serv yeah you're all caught up it didn't take [Applause] long he's certainly going to go after feder's back and there's no doubt about that he's he's brilliant and he's very likable off the court and that he makes oh that's too bad he two breaks up early oh game and as the first game ended so does this third he finally got that first grandon title oh yeah and the thing is you see all the inner mechanisms working with you you hear it you hear his shoes squeak with feder it's for love fed let's go to our love oh that ball was very close he needs calls to give him the call I can't tell that ball looked like it caught the outside of the line man that's all he needs that b [Music] caught that's on the line oh my what what a display the work out cover cooling off game p set let just talk about domination of a top opponent that is the most demonstrative uh we've seen feder of course he fell down after winning Wimbledon and some others but how frustra after H it when he sees feder completely mishit the and they've gone to a couple of the shows okay four straight times it's you's goal to play that kind of match the kind that took feder to five sets but right now Rogers not that ball was long unsighted was clearly out I mean come on see but the obviously the lines of could be blocked by feder's foot there but still a prove his level of play great shot great the other one just very good see he forces hu to make a call that he's going to have to come in which is probably not a bad idea to try to change spin on it how's that for feel may go down in history and he's getting there as the greatest player that ever played this one isn't working as well so far and then he hits the line get from that position this really really surprised you it that's what you call getting a lot of Top Spin out of it they want to cheer H now they can cheer we'll continue after this message and little Ace to throw into the mix and it's 31 it's too bad you saw the speed if few went there and the effort he gets all the way there guess is [Applause] right he's going to have to really take his time here make sure he doesn't get oh man how did that that's unbelievable he's going to chip in chars and hit it deep or if he's going to hit it short like he did there and he's coming in so he's putting more pressure on hu ouch happens when you get down love 30 puts a little this okay so much for [Applause] that [Applause] oh send him to a higher League lines again it's another line three straight Aces to bail him out so that's in the first four grand slam final appearances in the open ARA [Applause] 13 [Applause] this paid off from there and far got a little defensive here's the ball where he M hit it he was been looking to come in so all of a sudden he got himself in a little trouble there miss earlier he'd had love 40 to finish that point of yeah just slices that come up with the goods again game 53 Federer [Applause] and he misses one 15 he's got incredible Pace on that forehead you know in addition to the fact it's tough to read he's he's says Federer he's had an excellent day at net Roger feder he had come in this much against Agy or [Applause] Henman line and that opens up the court for him and he's quickly ready to move into net and that's where he wants feder stretch put a little bit more spin on this ball and get it lower Force feder to hit up on these [Applause] [Music] volleys caught the line and that return that's an sa with this forehand you got to assume leighton's going to in pretty good position to defend it's five ball making the same kind of contact that's tremendous movement from both players fed to slide that one down the line and a beautiful play there by hwit [Applause] in this set alone 13 only two in the first set it's well guided uses rest just to create enough had 10 errors off that side this set he didn't go there the first try to get it there but F he can put on this shot this is this is when he really reminds you of sis isn't it and Pete loveed running running around those and going for his movement reminds me a lot of Pete sanus surprised I mean he got to it to this stage by going to the backand that's why this set is close there you go as you see you would finally pick up a point here at 4-1 the comparison five two game second Roger feder one set away from his fourth Grand Slam title 16 and0 since the end of last year against top 10 players [Applause] making 20 errors still wanted in a tie break man he gets the net cord winner Davis Cup match he was two sets in 53 down and was able to climb all the way back in the match super slow motion what it's like for the ball the punishment it takes going over that net Court I think the fres hand for thing for hu here is that he got the break by this early break if it's to happen well hwit is broken for a third here's a look at that ball that according to our shot spot did hit the back of the line just have some graphic drawn up there that's show him a picture of a really close one the earliest anyone's ever done that next the season ending championships on the men's side and we're in a little trouble now if you want to have a tough third set if you it is Hu holding on to it to the last Poss last year look good yeah he cut it right on the of this type of [Applause] Technology not the lob again call Federer gets through it and once again we'll have a chance to break here oh it's too good this was not such a bad shot in the center of the Court deep you shouldn't be able to do that third set and Roger feder is well so far does pick up this point he'll keep fighting but Federer I that this would suddenly have been a match and now feder up 405 and the ace brings Roger Federer it's almost as if went better but he does play like some of the former greats with the modern equipment he likes watching does look good got to give him credit and now Roger Federer with two 6 what a moment Roger Federer has made history and won the US Open for the first [Applause] time
