It's annoying because when her serve fires, it's an excellent one and she also has a stunning forehand when she gets that working too.

It was the same with Murray when he was younger, lots of talent but it came in inconsistent bursts

In which case we might well have a fantastic talent on our hands here, both her and Heather Watson, who's showing signs of promise as well.

Tbh it's hardly just Laura, I thought Andy's volleying at the net was pretty poor today.

According to the schedule Murray plays Federer 1400-1600 and then the doubles finals 1600-1800. That can't be right, he's going to be exhausted before he even starts the doubles!

Oh god.... its pouring with rain! I really hope it stops before the match starts or we could get a repeat of Wimbledon

Think the tennis has been called off? Stream has disappeared on BBC where tennis usually is..

edit: ignore me the links up now.

3 set victory for Federer if it's played under the roof

Ladies doubles final to start imminently but the other court's under a tent

Firestar_3x · 5 Aug 2012 at 12:34

let's hope the roof is open later.

On a side note Serena Williams is the size of a fridge, no idea how he moves so well.

Skeeter · 5 Aug 2012 at 12:37

What does the roof change that means Federer will win?

Firestar_3x · 5 Aug 2012 at 12:38

He plays better indoors with no wind.

Craig1981 · 5 Aug 2012 at 13:11

Well the Djokovic game has been delayed due to rain. Hopefully the weather will clear up before the gold medal matches.

SPARC · 5 Aug 2012 at 13:27

I feel sorry for those two Czech girls up against the Williams sisters

It's a bit like cloud cover for cricket. No-one really knows why some people do better under it. They just do.

Pigeon_Killer · 5 Aug 2012 at 13:57

Roof's gonna be opened \o/

Skeeter · 5 Aug 2012 at 13:57

Woop!

Merlin5 · 5 Aug 2012 at 13:59

Oh, apparently it's back to best of 5 sets for the final.

Skeeter · 5 Aug 2012 at 14:00

Yeah, bit odd that.

uniQ · 5 Aug 2012 at 14:13

Can Murray pull it out the hat?

I find it a tad strange that the format doesn't follow the rest of the competition! Murray in four for me, it's his time.
