Well certainly not the result I wanted as Andy Murray defeated Federer 6-4 6-4 to setup a final in Shanghai with Novak Djokovic. I had high hopes going into the match, the courts have been playing fast and Murray has been feeling under the weather with a cold but Roger just never got to the races today.

Whoop! We’re back to standard procedure is Shanghai as Roger defeated Cilic 6-3 6-4 in 82 minutes to setup a semi final clash with Andy Murray who saw off Radek Stepanek in 3 sets.
