The Federer vs Safin semifinal match from the Australian Open has gone down in history as one of the greatest ever. The epic battle extended over 4 hours and 28 minutes with Safin prevailing with a backhand winner to convert his 8th match point in the fifth and final set. While Roger's aura of invincibility did suffer a minor blow, he has bounced right back to take the Rotterdam Open and the Dubai Open.
Below are pictures from Roger's practice session at the Dubai open, with none other than the great Andre Agassi. Roger and Andre couldn’t resist the temptation to have a friendly knock about on the world’s highest tennis court, the helipad of the Burj Al Arab, at a staggering elevation of 1053 feet.
