Sina Sports News In the early morning of September 9th, Beijing time (the evening of 8th local time in new york), it is reported that the 2008 US Open ended the grand finale of the men's singles champion and runner-up under the expectation of many people. However, after a disappointing one-sided contest, Roger Federer, the king of Swiss tennis, swept Murray, the British genius who entered the Grand Slam final for the first time, in straight sets 6-2/7-5/6-2, creating a precedent for tennis 198.
In addition, this champion is the 13 grand slam champion of Federer's personal career, only two steps away from breaking the record of 14 held by the old champion Sampras. After being defeated by Djokovic in three sets in the semi-final of the Australian Open at the beginning of the year and defeated by Nadal in the decisive battle between the French Open and Wimbledon, the Swiss king finally won his only grand slam in 2008 in the last grand slam of the season. Since 2003, he has won at least one championship every year for six consecutive seasons.
Federer, the fifth consecutive US Open champion.
At the beginning of the game, both sides maintained a fast offensive rhythm. Federer, who stood in the final of the US Open for the fifth time in a row, took the lead in serving. The confident Swiss started with a trump card, which also opened the curtain of this wonderful game. After easily keeping the first two serves, the defending champion took the lead and successfully won the first break point in the fourth game. However, the young Murray did not show a little timidity in the Grand Slam final, and easily resolved the danger and rewritten the score to 2-2. With the progress of the game, Federer's strength as the king of the ball gradually emerged. In the sixth game, Murray, whose state fluctuated slightly, once again gave his opponent two consecutive break points. This time, the second seed was not soft, and after successfully cashing in one of them, she established her advantage in the competition. In the crucial eighth inning, Federer led England by 40- 15. Although Murray stubbornly saved a stock, he finally paid the tuition for his youth, then lost the serve and handed over the first set 2-6.
Federer's last goal
In the opening stage of the second set, the leading Federer continued to maintain a strong offensive, taking the lead in breaking and leading the opponent 2-0. However, the backward British teenager didn't sit still, and began to fight back after making some adjustments. Under the pressure of Murray, the Swiss king made more active mistakes, and the British sent out a love match in the third game and successfully regained the defending champion. By the fifth game, the British on the offensive once again led the opponent 40-0. But at the crucial moment, Federer resisted the pressure and tied the score with rich experience and stable performance. In the end, he had a close call, and they were still on the same starting line. Since then, the rhythm on the court has gradually stabilized, and neither side has found a suitable offensive opportunity. In the key 12 match, Murray was speechless again in front of Federer's storm, and the king of the ball sent back a love match cleanly, thus winning the next game 7-5.
Federer presented the award.
When the game entered the third set, Murray, who was behind by a big score, changed his mind greatly and made an amazing mistake in serving. Federer, who is good at grasping the opportunity, seized the fluctuation of his opponent on the court and broke the British serve in a row. The lead was once expanded to 5-0. The inexperienced Murray almost lost in the first half of the third set, and it was difficult to pose a fatal threat to the king of the ball. Although the tenacious Englishman struggled hard before the end of the game and successfully broke the No.2 seed, Murray's efforts eventually became futile in the face of his opponent's huge advantage. In the ninth game, Federer broke the serve of the British genius for the third time, thus fixing the score in the third set at 6-2, hoping to win the US Open championship and achieve five consecutive championships. The Swiss tennis king is also the first tennis player to win five consecutive championships in two Grand Slam events in 84 years.
