15-40, come on!

 

[Naff8000]

I said that as a joke earlier, but come off it. Nobody would play at this level of competition and get THIS far, only to let the other guy win.

besides singles gold is the last thing Federer hasn't got

 

[Weebull]

Come off it. Federer's never won gold, it's all he's missing major titles wise. You really think a profesional sportsman would do this, let alone one who's won 16 majors?

Especially a man who's proved he still cares about major titles after winning Wimbledon in such style just last month. He could easily retire as the greatest player if he wanted. Nonsense to suggest he doesn't want this.

 

[SDK^]

Is Fed playing his best or is he being secretly generous? I know he wants the gold but perhaps he's helping murray out?

Everyone I'm watching it with is saying it looks like Fed just wants this over and he's not trying since the start.

 

[Robbo]

What is Federer doing.

Exactly. This is billed as the unofficial fifth major, bit like the TPC at Sawgrass in golf. Super hold from Fed.

What is Federer doing.

Pulling it back it seems...

Why's he making it so hard for Muzza now then?

 

[fail at the internets]

lol at people on here actually believing that federer doesn't want to win this. Are you INSANE...

 

[Weebull]

Yes, you get to be the very best in the world by capitulating early when it looks like a match isn't going your way. Honestly people.

 

[Craig1981]

Nothing is over till its over. Federer could still come back and win this set. I just really hope he doesnt.

 

[Martini1991]

What is Federer doing.

Losing.

Feds last error made me shout at the TV

 

[el_dazza]

5-3, 1 game away from glory at last!

 

[Aesir]

COME ON ANDY!!!!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Next service game's the biggest of his life. If he loses Fed's back in the set and Murray's nerves could crumble.

 

[Craig1981]

1 more you beautiful man you!

 

[Weebull]

Murray still yet to lose a point on serve this set? Wow.

 

[Merlin5]

Unless Federer does a wimbledon and wins 3 back to back sets again from now, I'm sure Murray has gold in the bag.

 

[Mad old tory]

Murray still yet to lose a point on serve this set? Wow.

Bet he loses a couple in the next game though

 

[Craig1981]

5 - 4 now. Come on Andy!!!!
