Everything is just pure win for Murry atm pulling off shots that should not be possible all has it's effect on you.

Might be wrong but Fed does not have a gold medal for singles does he? has one for doubles i think

No, hence the pressure and missed shots.

A doubles I think, never Singles gold. He has been on record as saying he really wants the gold medal, so im not sure why people think hes not up for this.

I was going to say, I thought his form at Wimbledon was good, but this is even better so far.

Come on Andy, don't mess it up now.

I think it is french, yeah.

Anyone know why they use the English abreviation though? Its the Comite International Olympique, so should be CIO. Like the Federation International l'Automobile is the FIA.

Now that is odd, no consistency.. just like the FIA.. CONSPIRACY :cool:

Thought not, this must be about the only thing Roger hasn't won, think that's all we need to say really.......

For the record I'm not trolling, it just really doesnt look like Federer is keen. I'm not saying he's purposefully losing though.

Exactly!

All the Wimbledon trolls gunna be pretty damn mad is Murray manages to win this.

Craig1981 · 5 Aug 2012 at 15:38

I think Federer has as good a chance as Murray to win, but so far this really hasnt been going his way.

But he pulled it back in Winbledon, so anything can still happen.

One · 5 Aug 2012 at 15:39

007 style

mranderson · 5 Aug 2012 at 15:39

Too late to pull it back.

Craig1981 · 5 Aug 2012 at 15:40

This point for the set? :eek:

If Murray wins the second all pressure's off Federer and on to Murray. Game should turn on it's head then.
