Andy Murray

[RobbieOR]

Me. After the start I cant say I'd be surprised to see it go the same as the Wimbledon final. Him take the first set and lose it from there. Hope not, though.

[Champ]

5-4 Murray serving for the first set, Federer having just saved his last service game. Fairly quiet game so far but with Murray just ahead in all departments. Beware the sleeping lion

 

And as I type Murray takes that first set

[Champ]

Federer trying to claw his way back int this match. He's winning more of his own points but Murray still holding his own. Going with serve 4-5 Federer

[Remmie]

Just switched on and saw a stunning service game from Murray, 2 aces and an unreturnable serve, missed his other point. Hmmmm, stay up and watch or back to sleep?

[Champ]

1-1. Was that a match winning point for Federer there? Oh, Remmie, what are you going to do now?

Sleeping. The match is clearly going to be a five setter and Murray has no chance if I watch it!

[Trumo]

Murray hadn't dropped a set until this match. In tournaments, it so often happens that a sportsperson or team make serene progress without conceding or falling behind in any way, but when it finally happens at the business end of that tournament, they often struggle to recover their composure and get back that form they displayed earlier in the tournament. That's the situation Murray finds himself in, but the big problem for him is that it's happened against Federer, and Federer has a habit of taking advantage in situations like this. He's got a break now though!

Murray looking up to the challenge so far although as sure as fate now I have typed that Federer will find that extra ounce of strength and the match will be his again.....

 

EDIT And Murray takes the third set

[Hand Shandy]

Takes the third set.

Oh, sorry, it wasnt meant like that

[RedKnight]

Can't see it. Devo'd.

[Hand Shandy]

Can't see it. Devo'd.

 

In all honesty, it isn't up there with some of the classics that Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have produced.

 

Murray is just making life incredibly tough for Federer, and Federer just can't break him down at the moment.

[Champ]

We knew this was going to happen. Come on, Andy

[Champ]

2 stinking games from Murray then wipes the floor with Federer for 2. Back on serve. Federer serving to stay in the set

 

I should be in Sainsburys....

[Champ]

Now Murray breaks Federer's serve to serve for the match. Should I even have written that?

And Federer draws level. Tiebreak. And the momentum swings back in Federer's favour

[Guest LFD]

Stay! It is lunch time now, it will busy. Better going after lunch.

[Whelan]

I love Andy Murray - the best player we have every had, and pisses off all those English Snobs who are responsible for this stat!

 

He was better than Sir Tim when he was 18!

Maybe not. I reckon there'll be a lot round here glued to their tvs too! And Missy'll be home shortly looking for her lunch
