www.centrebet.com.au – Roger Federer has sent out a resounding warning to all those who doubted he could win the Australian open with a straight sets tennis class over Italian Andreas Seppi last night.
Seppi made a crucial error that should have seen him break Federer’d serve in the opening game of the match which Federer went on to win.
Realising the magnitude of his error – Seppi failed to fire and Federer breezed through the opening set 6 – 1 in just under twenty five minutes.
Federer played literally every shot in the book and look every bit the champion that has seen him capture three of the last four Australian Open titles – finishing a poultry second last year after losing the final to young sensation and world number three Novak Djokovic.
Seppi then went into defensive mode, showing some touches of class himself but clearly the occasion was bigger then he and he went down fighting 6 -1 7 – 6 7 – 5.
Amazingly, Federer has one the opening fixture of his last twenty grand slams in straight sets, meaning he has not dropped a single set in an opening match for more than five years.
The win follows statement by Federer that highlighted his disbelief that Scotsman Andy Murray could be given the favourite’s tag over the likes of himself, world number one Raffael Nadal and Djokovic.
Nadal is the undisputed world number one while Federer finished the year by winning the U.S. Open and started this year by breezing through his first tournament, Sydney’s Kooyong Classic.
