Roger Federer defeated a lethargic Andy Murray, 6-4, 6-2, during round-robin play in Group B at the ATP World Finals in London on Tuesday. Federer, a four-time champion at the year-end tournament, improves to 2-0, while Murray falls to 1-1.
Federer was strong from the outset, and Murray was unable to garner any type of momentum in front of his home crowd. The Swiss maestro rode his serve to an impressive victory, winning 88 percent of his first-serve points. Murray was only able to take eight total points off Federer's first and second serves. Murray struggled with his serve as he was broken three times in the match and only won 59 percent of his first-serve points; Federer was not broken once.
Federer managed to dictate the pace by earning the contest's first break of serve at love in the third game of the first set to go up 2-1. Federer then held his next service game at love and cruised to take the first set 6-4.
