Wimbledon Day 13 - Murray v Federer - Mens Final

First topic message reminder :

I thought I would start this up so people can feel free post.

I hope for a decent final. I shall be watching the final 3D which will be a first.

May the best man win.

Either way history will be written tomorrow no matter the outcome.

A winner for tennis

Only Federer's mistakes are keeping Murray in this game...

With the exception of that stunning pass by Murray

muzzers stupidity cost him that game u should NEVER lose a game at 40-0 up

Well this is set is surely on its way to the 6 time champ.

That game was pure TMF

Come on Murray, break back immediately

Terrible 2nd serve and can't attack Roger's serve anymore. Its like his ribs have been kicked out of shape and lost the will to hit back.

Federer pulling Murray all over the court.

I think that break of service has cost Murray the championship. Federer will just get stronger and stronger.

Thats 2-1. Looking like my 3-1 predicto is coming forth now. Nerves are gone now from Roger...

At least Andy gets to serve first to begin the fourth set. He needs to maintain a high first serve percentage and put Roger under pressure in the Swiss' service games.

Murray under enormous pressure in every serve game.

Murray pretending injuries does not put off most your opponents, especially Roger. 2 break points now to finish this shiz off!

Break for Roger. Oh what a backhand

Nicely converted Roger!

*3-2 its almost there. Murray is tilting and not sticking with a game plan!

I actually think he is really struggling. His movement is not as good as the first three sets and he is missing on his shots a bit more because of the movement.

Awesome stuff from Fed to get the break.

Fed is now looking imperial.

simple FH for 15-40 missed for murrey

Thats because Federer was moving him left and right for sets 1, 2 and 3...

You feel had this level Federer been on court in set 1 and much of 2...then this would have been relatively straight forward.

5-3 boys. I'm getting ready to pop open the bubbly! Or shall I say, Fanta!

...oh, and Fed will gun for this game as he'd prefer to not have to serve it out.

Well here we go. 5-4 Federer serving for the Championships

Theoretically, Murray needs just one break to get back in this set.

Thank God

Roger Federer 7 Time Wimbledon Champion

One of, if not, The Greatest Ever

Hats off to Roger...thoroughly deserved!

All those that have been saying Fed will never win another slam, please show up now.

Fedddddddd well done. Well done to Andy too. :-)

Well played Roger Federer.

The return of serve has won him this Slam. The boring block has done the trick. Roger has actually won with boring, but more importantly effective tactics.

Comiserations Murray. Had the chance, blew it. Great champions hang in there.

It was a good final.

I would not be surprised to see Roger take his tally to 18.

to both players.

Well played to Andy. As a Roger fan, his excellent play ensured that I was not comfortable until the last point.

The roof definitely made the difference today.

Congrats to Roger on slam 17. It was perfect that he won it on the court where the magic that is his career began.

well done fed,

unlucky muz

good final.

Congratulations Federer.

He took it up a level when he had to.

Back at the top.

Well done Roger, the greatest player of all time has Wimbledon Number Seven. Murray was good today but simply outgunned by a better player. There's a slam coming for Murray, probably on a hard court, but it's not today. Mr. Federer, enjoy your win.

Don't think the roof made the difference at all personally. Fed had swung the match around before the roof came over

Think thats a bit harsh LK...Fed shows touches of genius throughout the match...he was simply a level above Murray when it counted.

I dont think Murray blew, Federer raised his level...plus you can see Murray is just not as mentally strong.

It did take show cojones to serve that match out with the audience shouting Murray's name the whole time and with Federer having so much riding on it.

Brilliant! Angry teenager pseudo Murray baby goes home empty!

17 slams! WORLD NUMBER ONE!

Mission Complete !!!

Eh?? Or what about if Murray had played at the same level at the first set and three quarters it would have been a straight forward win for Murray. It works both ways you know.

Congratulations to Roger Federer on winning his 7th Wimbledon title and getting that record of most weeks at No.1 - when called on he pulled out his best play as champions do. As for Andy he has the monkey off his back of having not won a set in a slam final and he'll kick himself that he never took that second set as he had good chances. It is progress though and showed his fight and spirit but just fell short. Well played again Roger.

You make a good point. However, I fear things could have gotten trickier had the roof stayed open. Andy was really excellent on the return today. As well as Roger served, Andy still put him under some pressure in his service games.

Think thats a bit harsh LK

Not really.

Disagree CC...Murray was playing as well as he can, Federer was in 3rd gear.

Murray should have stopped talking there. I am so gutted for him. He needs to keep this short and sweet and take some time to regain his composure.

awwwwwwwww. murray showing real emotion

Come here LK

Murray is not bad, just doesnt have greatness, winning slams is not everything, 4 finals is better than we all have.

That works both ways though. Murray's level dropped in the third and fourth sets when Federer was playing as well as he could.

he is like shooter mcgaven lol
