Roger Federer v. Alejendro Falla

A slightly rusty Roger Federer won his first round match 6-3, 5-7, 6-3, but was challenged by Colombian Alejandro Falla.  It looked as though Federer would cruise up a break in the second set, but Falla decided to remind Fed that he was in a tennis match. Federer suffered a major lapse late in the second set, failing to convert three match points, getting broken at 5-5, and ultimately throwing the set away.

Federer broke immediately to start the third set but was promptly broken back.  This sort of inefficiency has plagued Fed in the recent past.  In the second and third sets Falla raised his level of play and focus significantly.  Federer failed to match that intensity. 

It looked as if everything was in control.  Roger Federer was serving for match at 5-3 in the second against Colombian Alejandro Falla.  Match point was on his racquet.

Federer failed to take full advantage of a weak Falla serve.  Wouldn't let the same lead get away in the third set finally converting on his fifth match-point.
