The_Munchmaster Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Britain's Andy Murray produced some glorious tennis to beat world number one Roger Federer in a three-set thriller at the Dubai Championship. The unseeded Scot, 20, won 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 6-4 to dump the four-times champion out in the first round on Monday. Murray wasted a set point in a close first set tie-break which Federer won. But Murray, who did not face a break point throughout, hit back in stunning fashion with breaks in both the second and third sets to win in style. The British number one recorded his second straight victory over the Swiss having defeated him in Cincinnati in August 2006, and now boasts a 2-1 head-to-head record. The loss was also Federer's second in a row - the last time he played was the semi-final Australian Open defeat to eventual champion Novak Djokovic in January.

Faustian Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Quite the talent is our Andy, lets hope he doesn't do a Henman...in other words, lots of potential, serious lack of substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
