[Weebull]

Federer is looking the better player at the start, but no breaks yet. Ominous.

Murray's had 1 bp in the second game and was 0-30 up here but now 40-30. He's doing better on Fed's serve than his own and his first serve has been poor so far.

And Murray breaks!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Just as much pressure on Federer for once today. His goal all year was to win the medal he's never won so he should fluff his lines more than he usually does.

Edit: Murray far more aggressive again today.

 

[Weebull]

Well that was some good jinxing by me.

 

[Aesir]

nice break from murray

 

[Weebull]

God, Murray really can hit some cracking shots when he's on form. He's not got Federer's variety, but boy, that forehand.

 

[Skeeter]

Just turned this on, and Murray has a break. Woop.

Is the mixed doubled final after this?

 

[Weebull]

Yeah, pretty much straight away! God knows what Murray's emotional state will be.

EDIT: BOOM.

 

[Aesir]

phew that was close

 

[Evilsod]

If Murray wins this game he may go on to the doubles tired but on a high and make it a second win. But if he loses I can't see him doing anything but lose the doubles too. Its gonna be all or nothing really.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Get in. Nice and quick to settle the nerves

 

[Weebull]

What a cracker.

COME ON ANDY.

 

[Skeeter]

That'll do.

 

[el_dazza]

Murray breaks again and takes it 6-2

 

[Aesir]

quick set

 

[mmj_uk]

Federer will let Murray win, that's the kind of guy he is.

 

[trickycurve]

COME ON ANDY!!!!

 

[Aesir]

Federer will let Murray win, that's the kind of guy he is.

no way he wants this gold as much as murray does

 

[Naff8000]

I won't let my hopes get up but this would be the best gold medal ever for me if Murray wins

 

[Bigpig]

Murray is pulling off some wicket shots.

Being very aggressive!!
