Roger Federer has beaten Andy Murray in three sets at the Australian Open to win his 16th Grand Slam tennis title and end the Briton's hopes of a first major crown.
The 28-year-old Swiss star won 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 at Melbourne Park to extend his lead at the head of the all-time Grand Slam winners' list, while Murray's defeat means that the 74-year-wait for a British male Grand Slam singles champion goes on.
Federer showed again why he has built an increasingly unarguable case to be the greatest player of all time, his flowing style and vast array of attacking options proving too much for Murray.
Federer says he's over the moon winning in Australia for a 4th time, adding that he played some of the best tennis again of his life over the last two weeks.
