Roger Federer was in unstoppable form on Tuesday, beating Andy Murray in straight sets
Roger Federer claimed his second group stage win on Tuesday at the O2 Arena, easing to a 6-4, 6-2 straight sets victory over Andy Murray. Federer, who has been in inspired form of late, once again produced a superb display to overcome the World No. 5. Impressively, Federer only dropped eight points on serve throughout the entire match.
“He came out and made some mistakes. Maybe it was due to my good play…I played tough and solid from start to finish”, remarked Federer after the match. “I’m surprised, I really am, that I was able to win my service games that comfortably…that’s not the norm against Andy, who is one of the best return players, if not the best, in the game right now".
Murray spoke of his disappointment after the match. “I returned poorly, served poorly”, admitted the Scotsman. “I tried to play quite aggressive. You’re not going to hit winners every single time you go on the court…today I made more mistakes than usual”.
