Second serve vs Federer was crucial: Murray

Andy Murray believes his improved second serve was the key to his emphatic victory over Roger Federer in the final of the Shanghai Masters yesterday.


Both players had not dropped a set at the tournament and the 23-year-old Scot was the one who kept that record intact.





"Against Roger you can't let him get out in front," said Murray.

"You have to go after it early. I returned his serve well and got a lot of free points on my first serve and my second serve has improved so much since the start of the year that he wasn't really able to take many chances on it."

Murray told his official website that he had been feeling good all week, although there is still keen to increase his endurance.

"I hit a lot of great shots on the run and you need to come up with great shots against Roger if you want to beat him."
