[Cosimo]

Federer 5-4.

Much better service game from Andy here...could be headed to a tie break again.

 

[jrodga2k5]

0-40 on the Fed serve...possible break chance here for Andy.

BREAK!!! Murray serving for the match!

 

[Cosimo]

Murray 6-5!

Was the clawing back all Murray or Federer doing his "own worst enemy" trick? I am not sure who I want to win in all honesty - win/win situation as I like both players. If it goes to tie break - money is on Federer but I think he will lose the 5th set.

EDIT - Never mind.

Eek Fed about to break back.

Skin of his teeth - tie break.

 

[inogen]

good game this... but must do some work...

 

[Cosimo]

Federer breaks back 6-6!

 

[jrodga2k5]

Break back...tie break we go to!

 

[inogen]

Warnie's catch earlier was quite amusing but I've got spots in my eyes from looking at his teeth.

 

[Setroc]

I was thinking earlier that it would be nice to see this go 5 sets. Be careful what you wish for

 

[jrodga2k5]

If Federer wins this he may well go on to win the match.

*Mini Break* back! 2-2 on serve in the tie break.

I'm watching this with my father who is having a huge rant about how the Aussies never support a Brit haha

Murray is pretty dour and Fed is one of the most popular players of all time so I tried to tell him that it's hardly surprising, but he's having none of it.

Look out for Mrs Fed's hands - they are massive!!!

It goes to the 5th set.

 

[Cosimo]

Federer makes it all square 4-6 7-6 3-6 7-6

 

[jrodga2k5]

5 Set match then...epic tennis!

 

[doodah]

*If* (and that is a big if) Federer wins this - can he make it to 20 before retirement?

 

[jrodga2k5]

First break to Murray

 

[Cosimo]

Ha, Murray 2-0

 

[doodah]

Game effectively over. Wish I had put money on my earlier prediction.

 

[Cosimo]

Murray 4-1.

Should be over now.
