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

Wow, this is top, top level from both guys

Murray is beginning to look like the favourite if this level of play keeps up. Andy is serving quite well despite being broken and Roger is coming up second best on the rally exchanges more often than not.

True, same as in the semi. My impression is that Murray is dealing with it better than Djokovic did.

Roger back hand top spin hasn´t appeared yet. First serve a bit lame too.
3:2 Roger.

Good hold under pressure for Murray there to take us to 3-3

I disagree, Roger's looking sharp from the baseline

Fed, lovely forehand to take a comfy serve game. The BH top came alive in the last game. Hope it stays. Crunch time in the set.

Come on Murray

Come on Fed!

I take back everything I've ever said about Roger's net play.

fkiiiing hell - when fed whips that top spin back hand hard omg different league

Yes indeed this is the crunch 7th game.... three deuces....

more juice than florida

Murray making an odd noise when serving, that's not normal for him is it?

is he squeling like a piggie

Federer failing to make anything out of all those looks at Murray's second serve.

He is looking better now. Not in the first four games of this set.

This is what is infuriating me the most.

Rog fans have to be peed at that escape for murry. 4 all. Fed to serve.

Ermm strange turn of phrase. Sort of a high pitched grunt rather than a squeal.

muzza gonna break

so more like a boar on heat then

Aaargh there goes the first set!

Poor poor game from Federer there

Well... I thought Murray was tiring but he came back and found something. Excellent game by him but bad from Fed.

Way too many UE's from Fed

Murray is going to win his first wimbledon if this keeps up.

Four unforced for Fed. 5:4 Murray to serve for the set. Dog gone it.

murray gonna have a flake moment i cans feel it. these lads cant hold serve

Good old Federer...so predictable that he would get broken at 4-4.

Just tuned in to see set point and set for Murray.

Come on Murray

Oh, boy. Roger was trying to play like his old glorious self in the 7th and 8th game and suddenly it fell apart in a string of UE. That could be championship gone right there.

25 second serve hold by Fed to start the second set. NICE.

great first set by the muzza..

Fed failing to make the break points and to capitalise on Murray 2nd serves - needs to change that.

Murray not holding serve as well as Roger, but Roger not taking his break points when going to deuce on Murray Serve. Come on Roger.
You are losing this match right there. UEs at the wrong moments when he is other-wise looking strong and confident. It will be a huge give away by Rog is Andy takes this second set

Federers returns were decent first set, his service points have been poor though. Going through the motions today.

Chat box is open on the home page if anyone wants to watch the game and chat about it.

Murray's taking forever between points. A leaf out of Nadal's book?

2:1 Murray to serve. Clean up those errors Roger. Then again... plenty of character from Andy. Impressive.

Federer does look as if he has that extra gear he can change up though.

murray looks like a mercat

2 break points for the muzzcat

Roger has remembered how to volley it seems. I always knew he was capable.

Massive chance missed by Murray there.

Awesome hold from FEd from 15;40 down!!! Yesss!!!

Those three smashes in a row from Fed. What a strong nerve.

This isnt peak Federer by some distance yet...he seems tentative today and hitting alot of either mid-court or long balls...timing is off.
Murray playing very well has to be said.

Andy looking strong in the serve. Ye Gods. All square second set

Fed has to win this set or it's all over
