Roger Federer Surprised at Andy Murray’s Top Favorite Tag for Australian Open 2009

Andy Murray has been the top favorite for the upcoming Australian Open 2009 tournament among the betters. However, Swiss tennis star Roger Federer expressed his surprise at this news. He admits that Andy Murray has been in excellent form of recent, but he has said that winning a grand slam tournament is a different ball time. Since 2008, Murray has been in consistent form so far and the Briton recently defeated Federer on two occasions.

Well, I think, Murray has enough possibility to win the Australian Open 2009 because he is young and is most probably at the peak of his career. Murray can become the first British after Fred Perry to win a grand slam title. Perry won his last grand slam title way back in 1936 and since then, no British players could achieve this distinction, but Andy Murray went very close to win it when he reached the final of US Open 2008, but lost to eventual champion Roger Federer.
