Federer hammers home favourite Murray

Roger Federer once again proved he has Andy Murray’s number when it comes to the big matches with a crushing 6-4 6-2 victory over the home hope at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London this afternoon.

The British number one was bidding for a third consecutive victory over Federer, but it was one-way traffic virtually from the off at the O2 Arena as Murray searched in vain for something like his best form while his opponent gave a masterclass.
