Federer 2-1 Granollers* (*denotes server): Granollers gets his own back with an impressive drop shot to make it 30-15, Federer slipping and sliding and stooping and unable to reach the ball in time. So he plays the next point as though he’s taken that impetuousness from Granollers as a personal affront, walloping a forehand into the corner to make it 30-all. The next two points are traded and the game goes to deuce, no let-up from Federer. But Granollers holds, winning a drop shot contest on the final point. He’ll be relieved.
