LONDON, Nov 24 (AFP): Roger Federer was in sublime form as he moved closer to a place in the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour Finals with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Andy Murray at London's O2 Arena on Tuesday.
Federer had lost his last two meetings with Murray and has never been completely comfortable when facing the British number one, but the Swiss star was at his imperious best as he romped to his second successive Group B victory in the prestigious end-of-year event.
Due to the complex nature of the tournament rules, Federer will seal his place in the last four later on Tuesday if David Ferrer defeats Robin Soderling or if Soderling beats Ferrer in three sets.
Either way, the world number two looks in the mood to end a frustrating year on a high by claiming his fifth Tour Finals title.
Murray, the fifth seed, must now defeat Ferrer in his final match on Thursday to have any chance of going through.
