Australian Open- 2nd SemiFinal
Match Summary
Roger Federer vs Andy Murray
After a one sided affair in the first semis where Djokovic bt Ferrer easily with 6/2 6/2 6/1 in straight sets, all the eyes where on the second semi, where number 2 seed was against number 3. As expected the match was a five setter but not as exciting ending, Murray dominated the match all around, it always seems to be as Federer was chasing Murray the whole match, but didn't get him. Murray was fast and superb, had served well and even returned well. Dominated Federer in all aspect except the tiebreakers. Federer was coming hard every time but didn't able to captivate the match.
Murray started positively and won the first set by 6/4, then Federer came back harder and played really good tennis and took the 2nd set in tie breaker with score 7/5. In the third set Murray fixed the focus came with beautiful serves and strong forehand to break Federer and take the set by 6/3. The fourth set was the best of all as both player were at their best, played their best tennis putting all they can to take the set to another tie breaker, this time Federer who is an expert in tie breaker took the tie breaker easily with 7/2. The Last set was all of Murray played extremely well with no great fight back from Federer, who I think lost the chase when Murray broke Federer's serve in the start of the last set and got ahead with 2/0 and finished the set by 6/2 to win the match.
Now Murray is going to face Djokovic on sunday in the finals. The win in US Open against Djoker will be fresh in his mind, but this time it will be not easy as this is the most consistent arena for number 1 seed Djo and he is too in a sublime form, which we showed us by how he thrashed Ferrer out of the tournament in straight set semifinal. It will hard for Murray to go into the finals and beat Djoker after this 4hr semi with Federer, so for me Djo is the favorite. But we cant say coz every day is a new day, one mantra Murray have to keep in mind to win the finals he has to win the tie breakers bcoz it will not be as easy as today, the pressure of finale is different
