Murray is pulling off some wicket shots.

Being very aggressive!!

Wrong sport mate

 

[Skeeter]

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

Lul wut.

 

[Merlin5]

Less pressure on murray as it's not a grand slam wimbledon title plus he already has a medal, which can only be good for murray's frame of mind.

 

[Aesir]

lets hope murray can keep it up for 3 sets

I really dont think its fair Murray has to play both finals back to back like this. His physical and emotional state will surely be affected by the first game.

You'd think they would delay the second final a day =/

 

[Naff8000]

argh no stupid norwegian tv now switched to a swedish wrestling match ?!?

 

[Weebull]

Federer is stuttering.

 

[mmj_uk]

Lul wut.

Just look at how he's playing, unforced error after unforced error.

 

[SPARC]

Ok, who is this imposter and what have they done with Federer ?

 

[nemtizz]

Just look at how he's playing, unforced error and after unforced error.

 

[qqg3]

I don't understand why the final is 5 sets and all the other games are 3 sets?

That's like playing 90 minute football matches for half a tournament and 3 hour matches for the other half.

Seems like an odd decision.

 

[Skeeter]

Even the net is on Murrays side!

 

[el_dazza]

3 bp's for Murray, bet Fed saves the first with an ace.. maybe not, breaks to LOVE!!

Yeah, even if he wins he could well be a mess for the doubles. How are you supposed to go from everyone celebrating you winning an Olympic bloody Gold to playing a crucial match immediately after? Barely any time to celebrate.

JESUS WHAT A POINT.

Ahem, excuse me.

 

[Aesir]

omg that was amazing

 

[robfosters]

Fed not right. This is Murray's for the taking if he can hold it together.

 

[timebomb26]

Federer is playing very badly. Nothing like his usual self, but to say he's letting Murray win is ridiculous. I don't even know if you're joking or not. Same thing happened in the Wimbledon final though and slowly Federer came back in to it. At the moment though he's letting a lot of chances to finish rallies go past him. Perhaps tired from his semi final?

Exactly. He's under just as much pressure to win a medal as Murray was to win his first slam and he's not coping very well with it at the moment. Just hope the rain gods aren't smiling on him today.

And why does the mixed doubles not have a proper third set when the other doubles do? IT MAKE NO SENSE.

I'm pretty sure he is.
