Federer VS Murray
Hi sports fans! This is another post from your blogger Hari. Today I will be writing about how the Wimbledon semi-final went on between Federer and Murray.
Seven-time Wimbledon Winner Roger Federer gave an excellent performance to beat Britain's Andy Murray and reach his 10th Wimbledon final. The Swiss legend served brilliantly to win 7-5 7-5 6-4 and goes on to face world number one Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final. Second seed Federer faced one break point, in the first game of the match. Third seed Murray must now give his attention to Britain's Davis Cup tie against France in London next week.
The Scot's hopes of landing a second Wimbledon title were undone by a truly remarkable performance of serving in particular, with Federer dropping just 21 points when serving over two hours and seven minutes. Murray says "He served fantastic, apart from the first game where I had the chance there," he adds "I didn't really have any opportunities. That puts pressure on you. The pressure builds throughout the set that way."I obviously got broken right at the end all of the sets but didn't actually play a bad match. I played pretty well."
Federer is playing his 26th Grand Slam final on Sunday, when he will look to win an 18th major title and become the first man in history to win Wimbledon eight times. The Swiss said: "It's been tough. Andy's been playing well this season. There's so much expectation riding on it, you just have to focus for one more game, and then one more game. You think the break will come."I expected four or five sets. I played so well on the biggest occasion today."My serve was good again, against one of the best returners. I kept the pressure up and was able to mix it up. It worked out well."
Well that went well, good luck Federer and thank you for reading
