Followed by a equally good game from Murray.

 

[One]

It's like watching women's tennis with Fed hitting the net so much.

 

[Firestar_3x]

Andy's played more than double the matches Federer has this tournament, hasn't he?

Ah ok, I've only really been watching the singles.

What time is the doubles final? Imagine if this goes to 5 sets

//edit I'll happily stump up for the matches and petrol Weebull should it become necessary.

Does OcUK have the same rules as Twitter? Could find yourself in court for threatening to burn down Wimbledon

If Andy can get gold here then I think he'll really turn around his Grand Slam performances in the future.

I really hope so. He has the game to beat the big guns, just needs that big game experience to get the result.

 

[One]

Sucks to be in the shade

There's less energy expelled in doubles though, to be fair. You don't have to cover nearly as much ground, and the rallies are usually shorter.

I fully expect that if Murray does manage to win the match we'll be told that it doesn't matter as it's an unimportant competition or that Federer just wasn't trying. Maybe even an argument about not having the best players there (it's only really Nadal who isn't of the top players isn't it?).

Am I right in thinking that if Murray wins this, it'll be the first time he's beaten two of Nadal/Federer/Djokovic in a major tournament? It's always usually been that when he's managed to beat one, he's lost to another.

I want to see him win this 3-0, if Federer gets a set I think everyone will start to get worried and the atmosphere on the court will change.

This.

Federer pulled it back last time!

 

[Firestar_3x]

Can't see 3-0 think Roger might win this set. We shall see, it's blow for blow at the moment.

Oh, I thought this was all hypothetical...

As far as I'm aware yes, in every grand slam event if he's beaten one then he's run into another of the trio in great form.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

It's annoying to think of the amount of times he could have played like this and perhaps won rather than play so defensive and lose

 

[el_dazza]

2 break points Murray!

 

[Weebull]

COME ON ANDY, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

 

[Mad old tory]

Break point and second serve..BOOOM!!!

 

[melchy]

 

[el_dazza]

Murray breaks!!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

C'mon Murray! C'mon!
