Murray relaxed after beating Federer

Andy Murray insists he is still some way off becoming a Grand Slam winner despite his emphatic victory over world number one Roger Federer last night.

The 19-year-old Scot sent his Swiss opponent crashing out of the Cincinnati Masters barely 24 hours after beating British rival Tim Henman in the first round.

Murray beat the Wimbledon champion 7-5 6-4 and said afterwards: “Obviously I wasn’t expecting to win, so when it did happen I was in a little bit of shock.

“I made him feel uncomfortable. I just felt today it was my time to win against him. I hadn’t served out a match in five, six matches, and then the way I served out today I didn’t feel nervous. I didn’t get nervous at all and just kind of went with it. That’s what happens when it’s meant to be.

“I think now I’ll have a bit more belief going into Grand Slams that I can go deep, although I don’t think physically I’m good enough to win a Grand Slam just yet.

“It may take a few years, but my game is getting there. It’s getting better all the time and with Brad (Gilbert, coach) working with me, he’s helped a lot.

“Physically, I’ll get stronger. I think I’ll have a good chance in a couple of years.”
