This is enough proof that the old 2004-2007 Federer resurrection has begun.
Watch out.
How many matches did Fed not have matchpoints in 2005?
I guess it'll have to be two matches.. one of them was very close, he lost in a tie-break in the deciding set 10-8 to Gasquet. The other one wasn't so close.. it was the Nadal match in FO. But he could have easily won every single one of those matches (except the one vs. Nadal) with just a little more luck.. It would have been insane if he had lost just one match during that year.

Just Nadal at the FO in 2005. Only match he didn't win or have matchpoints.

Are you sure about the one against Nalbandian? He was two sets to nill up but I don't remember Federer having MP.
Oh I didn't notice that it had been mentioned already.. Looks like he did. I didn't remember that. My bad.He didn'thave a matchpoint in a 10-8 deciding tb?

Didn't Federer win that slam?
I think you are right. He lost the third and the fourth sets by a big margin and was serving for the championship at 6-5, 30-0 in the fifth, but never had match points.. After he dropped his serve Nalbandian won the tie-breaker relatively easily

This one is wrong, he served for the match at 6-5 in the fifth, went 30-0 up, then lost the next 4 points to get broken, and lost the tiebreaker 7-3.

No he didn't, against Tsonga he was 5-1 up and served for it twice, but ended up losing in a tiebreaker.

Thank you, that's what I thought as well.

I think he actually did squander one or two matchpoints in that one.

10 years ago (already !), there's also the 2000 vienna SF with henman... (henman went on winning the tournaments, beating haas in the final)

Federer never had match point in that match. He was 2 points away from victory, but never 1 point away. Federer served for the match at 7-5, 6-2, 5-3, BTW

I'm fairly sure there are more matches... It's just that we don't remember them :S
