Murray looks up against it versus an in-form Federer
The BetUK quotes for tonight’s big game in New York between US Open title holder Roger Federer and upstart Andy Murray make the Swiss legend odds-on favourite at 4/9 while the Scot is 9/5.
Federer looked much more like his former self during his 6-3 5-7 7-5 6-2 win over Novak Djokovic, the Swiss No. 1 serving brilliantly while cutting out most of the sloppy moments that have plagued him since Wimbledon.
With the forehand working again his unforced error count was down to just 28 – he hit 60 against Igor Andreev in the fourth round – and a repeat of that form will make him very hard to beat.
The Swiss ace is now unbeaten in New York since a five-set defeat to David Nalbandian in 2003 and he looks a million miles away from the player beaten by James Blake in the Olympics three weeks ago.
If Federer can land a fifth title it will take him to within one of Pete Sampras’ all-time record of 14 Grand Slams and somewhat make up for the disappointment of losing both his Wimbledon crown and the No. 1 ranking to Nadal.
