Andy Murray defeats Federer

 Murray said: “To have won that many matches against somebody as good as him [Federer] is awesome. But I would still exchange all my wins against him for the one in the US Open.”

"Andy Murray has started 2009 in the best possible fashion, and he also looks stronger and fitter than ever before. As a result, we now think he will be the man to beat in Melbourne, and deserves to be favourite for the season's opening major, the first time a British player has held that position," said Coral's David Stevens.
