Andy Murray eyes Roger Federer classic

Andy Murray hopes that Thursday's match against Roger Federer at the ATP World Tour Finals is one to remember at the O2 Arena in London.

Andy Murray is hopeful that Thursday's ATP World Tour Finals match with Roger Federer throws up a classic.

The duo are poised to face off in Group B of the London-based competition, with Murray beating Milos Raonic tonight to keep his hopes of a last-four spot alive.

The Scot has faced his Swiss counterpart on 22 occasions, with both winning 11 apiece heading into the clash.

"It's a nice match on Thursday to look forward to, it'll be a great atmosphere again," Murray told Sky Sports News.

"It's always a pleasure to play against Roger. He's one of the greatest players that's ever played so to get the opportunity to play him in an atmosphere like this is excellent."

Federer will go into the match on a high after easing to a 6-3 6-2 win over Kei Nishikori this evening.
