Roger Federer Wins Doha Title and Set's Himself Up at the Favorite at the Australian Open

Doha ATP 250 - Men's Final

2 Roger Federer d 4 Nikolay Davydenko - 63 64

Roger wins his 3rd title in Doha and 67th ATP singles trophy overall.

And did so in amazing fashion - Niko never once pushed him to deuce.

In fact, Roger saved all 7 break points he faced this entire tournament.

AND: 6 of those 7 BP's were in his 1st round match.

So, if I'm a betting man I'd surely wager on Roger for the Aussie Open.

Since the US Open he has certainly become the class of the field.

Roger has won 4 of the 6 tournaments he has entered - Rafa only 1 of 5.

Ranking points since the US Open: Roger = 3,490, Rafa = 1,770.

Add to that the serving stats I mentioned before - and well...

I'm not hating on Rafa but surely these stats scream at a high volume.

I think you have to consider that four of those tournaments were indoors, which we all know is not Rafa's best surface - but it is Rogers!

Can we get a normal looking trophy?
