Top seeded tennis star, Roger Federer beats Fabrice Santoro by a striking difference of 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 score to moves into the Third round of the Australian Open on Thursday.
Santoro’s wily courtcraft, anticipation and phenomenal retrieving have carried him through a record 62 Grand Slam tournaments, but were no match for Federer when they shared the stage at the Australian Open.
Federer, who had 53 winners and 18 ran off the last 10 games of a 6-1, 6-2, 6-0 win to advance to the third round.
He got a laugh and a slight pause from Federer, who then held at love and strode over the net to congratulate Santoro for bettering Andre Agassi’s 61 majors by one.
“Obviously I always enjoy the match against Fabrice,” said Federer, chasing his third consecutive Australian Open title and his 13th major.
