Australian Open 2006
As it looked Federer was losing his way, the world number one raised his tempo to win 11 games in a row between the second and fourth sets.
Federer got back on level terms as mistakes started to creep into his opponent's game, winning the second set off an unforced error, and he stormed through the third set in 24 minutes.
An early break in the fourth set gave Federer a 3-0 lead and although Baghdatis held serve to end an 11-game losing streak, his body was showing signs of caving in before his spirit.
Federer comfortably held his service games in the fourth set and then broke once more to close out victory in two hours 46 minutes.
