WIMBLEDON | Defeat Murray (4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4) Roger Federer, and nobody else


Cries Roger Federer and his tears are a legend. Will remain in history as his gesture rarely touched on the central green All England Club, after regaining his Wimbledon crown and return to being the 'number one' world. Federer has won in four sets to Andy Murray (4-6, 7-5, 6-3,6-3) in a game that put the Scots up hill and began to straighten indoor due to rain. The green carpet was spread in honor of Federer, who emulated his win seven titles on grass of his hero, Pete Sampras , and proves that life begins again for what many consider the greatest player of all time about to turn age 31. With the smile of relief on his face, Federer admitted that it is a "magic moment" by picking the winner's trophy: "In the last two years I have missed many chances, but I never stopped believing and I have regained confidence. I sincerely believe that I played my best tennis at this tournament. " Andy Murray was left without breaking his roof in his third final of a Grand Slam without conjuring the British curse after 76 years. The Scots gave but the size more than on the slippery grass of Wimbledon and Federer had a fist in the first half. "I'm getting closer," said Andy Murray in tears and in his first ski to door. The Scot took half a minute to regain her composure: "It will not be easy ... first of all I want to congratulate Roger, has not played bad despite being 30 years. Quieron agrederle the public. Everyone talks about the pressure, but the truth is that the support I have had has been wonderful, "he said.

The sixth game of the third set

The key was in the sixth game of Tecer September, shortly after the break forced by rain, with the Scots to remove and 20 exciting minutes of the best tennis seen at Wimbledon. Nine "deuces" came to play, with six balls "break" for Federer that Murray came to conjure hit "ace" (16 over match), with occasional ups and with his powerful 'drive' cross or parallel from the baseline. The Swiss, who started to open top intemperate, but regained its powerful punch after the "rest" and the spotlight of the refractory roof at Wimbledon, which became his best friend. Federer was also much more effective to serve in the second half and printed aggression the rest worked in key moments. Passed the final hurdle in the Ecuador match, Federer seemed to fly in the stretch, while Murray was symptoms of physical and mental fatigue, despite all the gains from that in January decided to sign as coach Ivan Lendle. Andy Murray started with the dual challenge of burying the feat of Fred Perry (the last Briton to win Wimbledon in 1936) and finally enter your own feet among the great, incapable of winning a set in the finals of a Grand held so precisely Slam and Roger Federer (U.S. Open in 2008 and Australia in 2010). In favor of the Scots, however, a particular score 8-7 in their previous meetings, none of them on grass. Murray was an impossible mission as comparable to that of James Bond : make it high the flag of Great Britain and show everyone (especially himself) that he has what it takes to be a champion, with maturity and poise in cattle track through the auspices of Lendl (which incidentally never win Wimbledon).  With Lendl Murray has improved the service and has won in a spirit of self-improvement and concentration at critical moments, with the help also of Italian sports psychologist Roberto Fonzoni .His mother, Judy , moody nature, recognizes that it is a relief to see his son play now without constantly cursing himself and biting his tongue to snap up "tacos". Federer's challenge was very different. Unable to win a Grand Slam from the Australia Open in 2010 and about to turn age 31, Federer was eager to regain the crown of the "number one" just in Wimbledon and emulating his personal hero, Peter Sampras, with seven titles on the grass.

When it seemed possible proza

Soon took command of the match Andy Murray, breaking entry to a service that Federer had little or nothing to do with the "puncher" relentless overcame Djokovic in the semifinals. Surprised by the aggressiveness the rest of Scotland, the Swiss decided to gamble on the net, with unfortunate results the first try. Murray even had the opportunity to go to 3-0 in just 15 minutes, but Federer-visibly uncomfortable in the first hour of play-printed aggressiveness to rest and broke serve to Scotland to leave the thing at 2-2, and back to start ... Murray was not yet ready to cede the initiative, however much they try to take advantage of its slump Federer's serve in the sixth and eighth games, saved 'in extremis'. The Scot returned yet to break the Federer serve, which accused the physical strain of his comeback. Murray wound up the set with a series of "bombing" (including an "ace" to 195 kilometers per hour) that gave confidence and made him into a small foot and in history won his first set in a Gand Slam final. Federer pulled more toned in the second set, as if trying to leave behind the succession of unforced errors in the key moment of the first. His service began to hurt, but Murray kept perfectly the type and dared to emulate his rival with effective increases, culminating with a superb backhand volley half-court with 4-4 on the scoreboard. The Scot inexplicably eased the throttle at the end, when all seemed ready for the "tie break" innocently delivered the service and allowed the "revenge" of the Swiss with a backhand volley that left sentenced the second set, before the fall first drops and they changed the tide of a match that had hitherto been his.
