Federer decided the first set in just half an hour of action. 30 minutes in which the Swiss showed that there is no need to break or run the ball more than anyone to kneel rival. With a break in the second game of the party took control of it and, despite having to solve problems with the service (up by 15-40 and 0-40) closed the first act without problems.

Fish would be a protagonist in the second set and took a walk his backhand cut, which did much damage to a break which Federer took him to finish the second round giving. But it was only a mirage. It was the third and final start in September and to see the best version of the Swiss, whose hit, so practical and aesthetic, quickly made ​​him take enough advantage to close the game and therefore their participation in the 'Round Robin'.
