Federer defeats Murray 6-3, 6-4, 6-7(6), 6-3. Murray looked sapped and perhaps his back or hip was bothering him. There were a couple of very long service games on Murray's serve that he eventually won, but were costly in terms of energy. Obviously Federer changed tactics to make it a more physical match and it eventually worked as Murray was broken to give Federer a 5-3 lead and another chance to serve it out. This time Federer succeeded. Congrats to him and his fans, and condolences to the Highlander and his followers. They should be proud of his effort.
Murray should be proud of this effort in a difficult situation for him.
Federer might be frustrated that he could not close it out easier in 3 sets, but is obviously happy to get to the semifinal after last year's off season. It doesn't get any easier in Federer's next match. Now he has Sr. Nadal to contend with in two days. Best of luck to both players in the semifinal!
Respectfully,
