Fed’s Murray menace
Andy Murray shocked world No1 Roger Federer with an emphatic display to beat the Swiss maestro in three sets at the Dubai Championships.
The young Brit, won 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 6-4 to jettison the four-times champion in Monday’s first round.
The British No1 now boasts a 2-1 head-to-head record against Federer who suffered his second consecutive defeat, the first crashing out to Aussie Open Novak Djokovic in January.
‘Any time you get to play against someone like that it's just an honour to be on the same court,’ said a delighted Murray.
‘But each time I've played him I've stepped my game up.
‘It's tough to close it out against him but I served great and that was really the key.
Federer however was slightly critical of Murray’s style and believes he still needs to adapt his game to realise his true potential.
‘He's going to have to grind very hard for the next few years if he keeps playing this way,’ said Federer.
‘He tends to wait a lot for the mistake of the opponent,’ said Federer.
‘He stands way far behind on the court and that means you've got to do a lot of running.
‘I gave him the mistakes today but I think overall, over a 15-year career, you want to look to win a point more often than for an opponent to miss.
Sour grapes perhaps Roger?
