Andy Murray claimed yesterday's victory over Roger Federer meant as much to him as winning the Masters Cup in Shanghai.
The British number one triumphed 4-6 7-6 (7/3) 7-5 to make it a perfect three wins from three in the round-robin stage, and in the process sent his Swiss opponent out of the tournament.
He must now rouse himself for today's semi-final against Nikolay Davydenko after a clash lasting more than three hours, but Murray insists whatever happens he can now go home with a sense of satisfaction.
Murray, left, said: "It was awesome. To beat Federer in the Masters Cup when he needs to win to stay in is great and to stay mentally tough. It was awesome to get through in the end."
He added: "A win over Roger Federer means almost as much as winning the Masters Cup to me. He's the best player of all time and still playing great."
