   Their second major final following the US Open ’08. Federer won again in straights, but needed to work much harder, especially in the 3rd set in which he trailed 2:5, and 3:5* (deuce). The Swiss saved five set points in the tie-break (second longest tie-break in major finals): 4:6, 6:7, 8:9, 10:11. They both were specialists of longer tie-breaks (I mean at least two changes of ends), but usually when faced each other, Federer dealt better with those circumstances. “I think his level is a lot more consistent in the Slams,” Murray said. “Maybe, you know, in the other tournaments, he tries a few more things out. But, you know, the shots that he hits great all year round, they’re still great.’ Murray led 6-4 in their H2H before the final.

   Federer’s route to his his 62nd (4th Aussie Open) title:
   1 Igor Andreev 4-6, 6-2, 7-6(2), 6-0
   2 Victor Hanescu 6-2, 6-3, 6-2
   3 Albert Montanes 6-3, 6-4, 6-4
   4 Lleyton Hewitt 6-2, 6-3, 6-4
   Q Nikolay Davydenko 2-6, 6-3, 6-0, 7-5
   S Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2
   W Andy Murray 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(11)
