Benneteau will be kicking himself that he didn't force Federer in a longer rally.

Federer LOSES 6-3 7-5. Looks like Mr. Indoor isn't Mr. Indoor anymore.

Almost but not quite.
Credit to Benneteau, fantastic performance especially on the returns.

Benneteau wins! truely well deserved he came out firing and federer didnt show up till the end of that final set. Hopefully he can prepare well for Dubai but the 2013 season is looking like just a shadow of the 2012

That was one of my favourite matches of 2013.

At least he's not losing to a Zeballos on clay or something.

Brilliant. Don't like seeing Fed lose but love seeing the likes of Jules really rising to it and getting a win. Inspired stuff from the Frenchman, Fed off his game slightly. Delpo's to lose now.

yeah, its starting to look like 2012 was the last hurrah.
ah well, who knows, he may eke out a win here and there but, its gonna be tough rowing.

Federer makes things really hard for himself. He didn't have to go for a curling topspin DTL backhand. He could have chipped it DTL

No it isn't. It means Benneteau won the mental battle. Fist-pumping is just Benneteau showing emotion, something his opponent never usually does.

Nadal had previously not played a match since June 28th 2012, and that was his first tournament back AND he made the final of Vina del Mar. Not comparable.

Hahaha, Federer has been Zeballost. And he's not even on a 7 month break !! Maybe he needs to dope.........:twisted:

I can't wait for the palette of people who are going to beat Nadal 5 years from now.

Congratulations to the French fans particularly to Benet's fans. Hope he wins his first ATP title. He deserves it for beating crybaby Feddy !

Yep, it would be nice. Not sure if he'll have as much success against Del Potro. I wouldn't mind either winning this now.

Ah well you kinda know Benneteau had a chance from the start.
Now please can Berlocq defeat Nadal so that the troll can shut up?

It's always nice to see PinkFeddy lose. It was better that way. Rather than see him lose to Klizan........:twisted:

I like Delpo, but it would better for Benny to win his first. I think he's the only one in the top 40 without an ATP title.
