Federer Wins Fourth Australian Open, 16th Major Singles Title
Contesting his 22nd career Grand Slam singles final, World No. 1 Roger Federer collected his 16th major title with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6(11) win over No. 5 seed Andy Murray at the Australian Open on Sunday.
The 28-year-old Swiss master, appearing in his 18th final from the past 19 Grand Slam events, notched his fifth win over Murray from 11 contests in the two-hour, 41-minute clash as he regained the title he lost to Rafael Nadal last year. It was a repeat of the 2008 US Open final (Murray's first in a major), which Federer also won in three straight sets.
Federer becomes the fifth man to win at least four Australian Open titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2010) and only the second to do so at Melbourne Park alongside Andre Agassi. It is his first Grand Slam title won as a father, with his wife Mirka giving birth to twin girls six months ago.
"Coming here at the beginning of the year and playing so well, it's a beautiful feeling," said Federer, who edged ahead of Pete Sampras to win a record 15th major at Wimbledon last year. "I definitely had to play some of my best tennis tonight to come through. That was clearly the case."

เมื่อวานนั่งดู เอาใจช่วยFedตามเคยค่ะ พอได้สองเซตแรกมานี่พอยิ้มได้ล่ะค่ะ พอถึงเซตที่สามนี่สิ Fed โดนเบรคไปก่อน พอMurray มาเสิร์ฟเพื่อเซตเพราะนำ5-3 เกมแล้ว ในใจนึกว่าคงจะมีเซตที่สี่แล้ว
ไม่อยากให้เกมยืดเยื้อเลย แต่เฟดก็เบรคคืนจนได้ แล้วก็ชนะไทเบรคในที่สุด...ได้แชมป์เทนนิสออสเตรเลียนโอเพ่นปี 2010
ดีใจมาก ๆเลยค่ะ
