How many times murray beat federer

Murray saved five set points in 15 tortuous minutes of high-grade exchanges that left everyone breathless — followed by a swift and killing denouement by Federer to go two sets up.

Even though you could see it in another way, as well, it was a key game for him to stay on and break my good run. It would have changed things around completely. But it did not. The extended moment mirrored the second game of the fourth set in the Australian Open quarter-final , when Murray survived a minute test of his resolve, only for Federer to hold to love in the next game and go on to take the match. Here his march to the line in the third set — at 33 minutes the shortest of the three — also had the air of inevitability about it at the end, Murray sticking a final forehand wide.

But he left content — and that might not have been the case years ago. He has the look of a happy man — this was only his second defeat since marrying Kim Sears in April — and much to look forward to.

At times I played some very good tennis. He clearly deserved to win the match. He had more opportunities than me. I served pretty well under pressure in that game. Clearly it's just practice, we're trying things. But I hope he can go deep here, have a nice run.
