\"andyMelbourne: Tennis stars Roger Federer<\/strong><\/a> and Andy Murray<\/strong><\/a> surged through to the fourth round of Australian Open<\/strong><\/a> here on Friday.<\/p>\n

Seven-time Grand Slam winner Federer defeated Czech player Tomas Berdych 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 in 90 minutes to advance. World No.1 Murray, who achieved his victory over the No.31 seed in spite of ankle problems, outplaying America’s Sam Querrey 6-4, 6-2, 6-4, reports Efe.<\/p>\n

Federer produced a masterclass in front of fellow all-time great Rod Laver, applying pressure and keeping Berdych deep behind the baseline.<\/p>\n

After a third break of Berdych’s serve at the start of the second set, Federer seized control. Berdych was powerless in light of Federer’s backhand.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t expect this as such, to be honest, especially not this kind of a scoreline. Especially not having to save any break points, just always rolling on the serve. That was a big surprise to me,” Federer was quoted sa saying by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) website.<\/p>\n

“I think it was a great mental test for me to see if I could stay in the match – point for point. I was able to do that. That’s where I’m just really happy that I was able to deliver that… It’s wonderful. I’m really happy of course,” he added.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Murray who was struggling with injury said that he felt better as the match progressed as far as his moves were concerned.<\/p>\n

“The start of the match was hard (as) Sam came out serving big… the end of that first set was important. He had a break point at 3-4. When I saved that and broke the next game the momentum was with me,” Murray said after the match.<\/p>\n
