Australian Open 2010 Final Result

Federer wins 16th major, prolongs British drought

MELBOURNE, Australia — Roger Federer dismantled Andy Murray in the Australian Open final Sunday to extend his own record to 16 Grand Slam titles and prolong the British drought.

Federer collected his fourth Australian Open title with a 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (11) win at Rod Laver Arena that, apart from the tiebreaker, lacked the drama and raw emotion of his five-set loss here last year to then No. 1-ranked Rafael Nadal.

Federer saved five set points and wasted two match points in the tiebreaker with some uncharacteristic shot selection before clinching it when Murray netted a backhand after 2 hours, 41 minutes.

Im over the moon winning this again, Federer said.

Murray was desperate to become the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win one of the four tennis majors, but seldom had the answers to Federers unrivaled finals experience.

I like Roger. He can be a little pouty when thing aren't going his way but he is an overall class act. He should be able to capture at least 1 GS in '11 but he isn't getting any younger & competition fierce.
