Fed-Ex Derailed!

David Nalbandian celebrates his first major tournament victory

The Boss aka Fed-Express, was derailed finally by Argentine David Nalbandian at the final of the season ending masters in Shnaghai.

In a victory that defied comprehension, Nalbandian came back from two sets down to pull off a five set victory in nearly 5 hours. Federer had his Open Era record streak of 24 consecutive final wins snapped after this loss at Shanghai. A win here would have put his winning percentage at 82-3 on par with John McEnroe's 1984 open era record.

Moving into the final Federer was the favourite more because he had finished off former French open champion Gaston Gaudio in the semifinal 6-0, 6-0 to notch his first career "Double Bagel"!

David Nalbandian is like the Goran Ivanesivic of the present generation, easily one of the best players out there, but yet to win a slam, Goran did win a slam but not at the prime of his career. But David is still in his prime and im sure his time will come sooner or later.
