Federer Wins!!

Federer just won his 16th grandslam and was declared winner of Australian open 2010. He was playing against Murray and beat him 6-3 6-4 and 7-6 (tie break score 13-11). Even though it was just three sets, it was when of the most exciting three sets I’ve ever watched. It lasted more than 2 and a half hours and it was really fun to watch them play.

P.S if I didn’t make this post Ranvir would have made it.
