Australian Open 2010 Round 1 Results: Roger Federer Avoids Disaster, Battles Way Past Igor Andreev to Move On

Roger Federer didn’t exactly start his opening match of the 2010 Australian Open looking like the world’s number one player but he certainly finished looking like it, battling his way past Igor Andreev in four sets 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), 6-0 to move on the second round in Melbourne.

Federer finished the match with nine aces and won 75% of his first serves put in play but it was his ability to take advantage of Andreev’s mistakes that made the difference. Nine times Federer broke Andreev’s serve and capitalized on 55 unforced errors from the Russian. Andreev actually had a perfect shot at going up two sets to one as he had a number of set points in the third but failed to put Federer away and it cost him as Federer blanked him in the fourth set.

Federer has won the Australian Open three times, most recently in 2007. The Swiss star also owns a career Grand Slam having won his first French Open title last year to go along with his five U.S. Open titles and six Wimbledon titles. Federer’s 15 Grand Slam singles titles are most of any male player.
