News : Masterful Federer ends Murray dream

Roger Federer tells reporters he's happy with his return to form at the U.S. Open after a disappointing season.

The Swiss tennis ace celebrated his fifth successive U.S. Open title making it the 13th grand slam title in his collection.

Andy Murray was hoping to become the first British tennis player to win a grand slam title since Fred Perry won the U.S. title in 1936. The sixth-seeded Briton had shocked Spanish world number one Rafael Nadal in a four set victory in the previous round to reach his first grand slam final at the age of 21.

Murray will rise to a career-high fourth when the world rankings are issued later this week.

The usually withdrawn Scot managed to crack a smile when asked about his $1million dollar runner-up winnings.

"That's about 10 pounds, isn't it?" Murray quipped as he left the U.S. Open.
