Justine Henin (BEL) - Runner Up

Roger Federer is champion in the Australian Open, continuing the British Grand Slam jinx
when the Swiss master took out a straight sets victory over Andy Murray in the final.
Federer started well, holding his opening serve before a nervous Murray was broken in the
next game. But Murray regrouped, breaking Federer back and the set progressed on serve
till Federer led 4-3. But another break to Federer saw him take the opening set 6-3.
Murray was determined in the second set, but struggled to hold his serve. Most of his
service games went to multiple deuces, but although he was only broken once, that was
enough for Federer to take the set after his serve was rarely challenged by Murray.
When Federer got an early break in the third set, it looked like he was cruising to victory.
But Murray found something extra in reserve and stepped up to play better tennis and in
the end Federer could only limp to the finish line. Murray broke back, and had points to
break again and take the match to a fourth set but Federer managed to save the game and
take the third set to a tie-break.
The tie-break saw multiple ebbs and flows. Federer saved set points, Murray saved match
points. But eventually Federer prevailed, taking the epic tie-break 13-11. It was Federer's
4th Australian Open and his 16th Grand Slam title, extending his lead in the all-time Slam
winners' list.
