Andy Murray Loses In Thailand Final - But Shows His Promise

Federer winning in straight sets 6-3, 7-5 comes as no surprise to anyone, but Murray showed his potential making the world number one play near to his best to attain victory.

A nervous opening service game by Murray saw two double faults and Federer took an early 3-0 lead. Murray settled down and showed good composure as well as a fine repetoir of shots. The biggest let-down was the first serve percentage that was again in the low 40's.

Federer had to overcome a few deuce games on his serve, but held on fairly comfortably in the end to win 6-3.

Murray was again broken in the first game of the second set but, refused to fold, breaking back and levelling the set at 3-3.

At 5-5, Federer stepped up his game and broke Murray's serve. Murray refused to give up and managed to find a break point, but Federer held on to take the final set 7-5.

In truth, Federer never looked in danger, but Murray showed that he is no push-over at this level and his potential for the future continues to grow.
