Federer hopes for an easy match against Andy Murray

Tuesday, January 21 2014 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Roger Federer beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to book his place in the quarter finals of the Australian Open where he'll face Andy Murray.

    Murray has admitted he's happy just to make the last eight after recovering from back surgery and Federer hopes for an easier match than usual against the Scot after coming through a difficult fourth round match against Tsonga.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) (comment on whether match against Andy Murray will be the most significant test for his form):

    "This was a big test for me. I don't need Murray to have a further test. The draw is a very testing draw. I know it's tough. It's not easy for anybody right now at this stage of the tournament, because you don't want to have any hiccups right now. So, I just hope I can continue playing at a high level. But what I've shown so far over the last three-four months to myself... I'm more confident, that I know I'm most likely going to play okay in my next match, which wasn't always the case midway through last year where I didn't know how I was going to actually feel during the match. So I feel like I can think ahead, I can think tactics, I can think many things out there. Everything else but my body, and that's very positive. So, I've overcome a lot in the last few months."
