Becker always looks as though he's nursing a mega hangover.

Great start but then his level dropped way below anything like he has played so far this tournament. On the other hand, Djokovic has noticeably upped his level.

Moothead2 · 12 Jul 2015 at 14:58

Lots of unforced errors by Fed so far.

Also seems to be missing a lot of average second serves from Novak too that he was burying against Murray.

I don't want to see people in the crowd ffs!

^^ Fed was imperious vs Murray...some magical returns. But in this game it seems he has a far harder time reading Novak. You can see him hesitating a bit more and whether to come to the net or not. He's making lot more errors as well Not good

Why not show highlights of the point just gone?

Who cares which random celebrity is in the audience, it should be about the tennis.

I know ridiculously annoying. This seems to be uniquely a Wimbledon tennis phenomenon. If I was watching Man United V Arsenal I don't get a shot of Rachel Riley or Wayne Rooneys missus at every throw in or corner so why do they do it at this?!

I'll have probably seen Benedict Cumberbatch 100 times by the end of this match!

oldbag · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:21

It's all the marketing machine, these celebs probably paid more for their seat so they could get on camera

Why not have a boring panel of pundits discuss the best point?

Personally think the semi final between Murray and Fed was higher quality than this final. Final is good but havent seen that many genius shots.

Fed had 2 big moments in first set which he blew

(when he broke Novak and made stupid errors to allow Novak to break back and then when he had 2 set points later in the set)

Craig1981 · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:45

Is the final best of 5 or best of 7?

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:47

His serve has been woeful compared to the semi so far

Moothead2 · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:47

Given a gift then blew it. He's bottling it big time here when it matters.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:50

The crowd don't seem to understand the physics of Federer's looping topspin forehand

McBain · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:50

This isn't going well for Roger....

3 set points.

Edit: Saved them all, that's incredible.

Surfer · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:53

Epic rally there...Federer would not buckle!

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Jul 2015 at 15:57

Make or break for Federer here. Can't see him coming back from 2 sets down.
