Roger Federer vs Andy Murray in Australian Open 2010 Finals! Who would have thought that Murray will find his way to the top? Of course, all expectations were on a Federer – Nadal match on the last day. But Nadal wasn’t as fit as he used too, and if you put a perfect Murray opposite him, this spells trouble. And exit Nadal went.

As of this writing, Federer is still battling Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. But the Swiss is clearly dominating the French in the first two sets. It’s hard for Tsonga to come back at this point in time. Murray, on the other hand, demolished Marin Cilic yesterday. The tall guy was supposed to repeat his victory over the Brit like he did at the 2009 US Open. But not this time.

Okay, so back to the Federer vs Murray feud. In the head-to-head encounter, Murray leads 6-4. What? Yep, this guy has a winning record against the world no. 1. As I said the last time, I like them both. Their styles are so similar and they play relaxed. Their swings are perfect, backhand, forehand and whatever swings they let go from their arms and shoulders. Their footworks are awesome, and they seems like they have Mercury’s sandals.

Roger is most likely to stay at no. 1 for a long time. But he is no longer Champ in many of the latest grand slams. He lost to del Potro at the US Open 2009 finals. Though he won Wimbledon and the French, he was in tears when he was beaten by Nadal in the 2009 edition of the Australian Open.

Murray has not yet won a Grand Slam trophy, yet he’s no. 5 at the rankings. He used to be no.4 but he slipped in points after losing early in some tourney. If he wins this time, he’ll break British records that is unmoved for 74 years.

Results Predictions

Federer may be the god of tennis but he’s not invincible. My apologies to Murray for predicting a Nadal victory in their quarterfinals encounter. Actually, I was elated of his victory. I should have stuck around to my earlier motto: Anyone but Nadal. And so I’ll make good this time. I predict a Murray victory over Federer in 5 sets.

Actual Results

Federer showed his might and demolished Murray in 3 straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6.
