Roger Federer won the Australian Open this morning 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (13-11). The first two sets, it was clear that Fed was dominating play in this match. Murray looked frustrated initially and frequently made motions toward his knee and quadricep. The Scot turned things up for the third set, breaking Federer early, but Fed fought back to force the tiebreak. Throughout the match Federer looked fairly calm, even when the set was within reach of Murray.
Being in the UK, I was able to enjoy this evening match (Melbourne time) in the morning. The match was definitely a bit of a nail biter at the end, but I was happy to see Federer come out with his 16th grand slam victory. Playing a tiebreak to 13-11 is tough, but both players looked strong throughout it. I’m sure we have more to see in the future from Andy Murray. At the end, Federer looked genuinely elated to win this match.
