Murray falls at ATP finals in London
Published on Wednesday, Nov 25, 2009
Associated Press
Roger Federer bounced back after losing the first set, rallying to beat Andy Murray 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 Tuesday at the ATP World Tour Finals in London and ensuring he will have the year-end No. 1 ranking for the fifth time. For Federer, finishing the year as the top-ranked player was better than beating Murray. ''Obviously, that was one of my big goals for this season. And it's one of the greatest performances I think I've achieved,'' said Federer, who reached all four Grand Slam finals, got married and had twin girls. ''Playing so well at the most important moments, it's been the key this year. And staying healthy.'' Federer must play Juan Martin del Potro in the round-robin stage. Del Potro beat Federer in the U.S. Open final.
