Federer making a lot of forehands error right now. ugh..

 

[Niraj]

Roger, you win the point by landing it IN the court first, buddy.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Holy shit Murray. Get Federer down, don't give him any encouragement

 

[Aegus]

Honestly surprised Murray even touched that.

 

[RdN]

Federer making a lot of forehands error right now. ugh..

But at least he's trying to stay away from playing with his backhand 80% of the time early in the match. It's better to miss some and get his rhythm still in this set.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Damn. Poor lob attempt imo

 

[seanoff]

hm.. would you have any examples? for research purposes of course....


can't wait! It's 910am here, which is perfect time for tennis! Unfortunately, I will only be able to catch the first set or so, but I can't wait! Memories of Wimbledon 2012 rushing right now

or google up gotham city melbourne

 

[Niraj]

dat popped up forehand

 

[qindarka]

Federer just barely staying alive.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Quick game. Good work Andrew

 

[Tookay]

This is going to be straight sets, isn't it?

 

[Niraj]

Murray serving way too well. Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up throughout the match.

 

[Akito]

I have Olympics flashback

 

[qindarka]

Remember that Murray won the first set in Wimbledon.

Damn, I wish this was grass.

 

[FroJay]

I switched over to WatchESPN if you have that. If you have ESPN3, you should have WatchESPN too.

Unfortunately I don't but ESPN3 popped back on. Thanks for the info.

Murray looks too good from the back of the court right now, and his improved forehand is making a huge difference.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Murray is serving like Federer is supposed to

edit: Huzzah. 2 to go

 

[Niraj]

Murray takes the first set 6-4. Seems like Federer is starting to play a little better at least. We'll see if he can have a Wimbledonesque turnaround

 

[Moneyhats2k5]

Uh oh

 

[Good Job Bob]

DFs starting..

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yeah not a good sign

 

[Sax Russel]

At least if Murray wins I believe it will make for a more competitive final!

 

[Good Job Bob]

Yeah not a good sign

I remember he hit 3 DFs in one game against Murray last year in the Shanghai semis.

 

[szaromir]

Federer's forehand is just pathetic these days really.

It's not bad but it doesn't have the same penetration it used. Back in 2006 it felt like a hammer of justice.

I also kinda miss Murray's old pushing and junkballing. Made for some entertaining rallies.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Ace, ace baby

*dun dun dun dun dun-dun-dun-dun*

 

[Niraj]

First ace from Roger. About time.

 

[Good Job Bob]

An ace from Federer! :O

 

[qindarka]

It's telling that I feel a sense of accomplishment whenever Federer even manages to hold serve.

Onto the Murray serve show.

 

[Moneyhats2k5]

Life from the King? Hmmm

 

[Tookay]

It's telling that I feel a sense of accomplishment whenever Federer even manages to hold serve.

Onto the Murray serve show.

Yeah, he's not in control of this match at all.

It's definitely the sort of feeling I get when Fed is destined to lose his games.

[RdN]

Murray's serve seems unbreakable right now.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Murray's serve seems unbreakable right now.

He's sprinting around like a slightly lesser peak Nadal

 

[Niraj]

This isn't looking good :/

 

[hamchan]

Andy Murray has crazy eyes.

Also Murray, Djokovich and Nadal all have insane level court coverage that Federer probably can't do.

 

[Moneyhats2k5]

Fed is struggling to hold serve..

 

[szaromir]

He's sprinting around like a slightly lesser peak Nadal

Nadal's first serve was never as good/big and he never goes for his shots that early in the rallies. Murray always had fantastic movement.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

A couple of times the camera has been stationed low and behind the player mid-rally. Missed the point there because of it

I get so pissed when that happens. Every fucking time.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

So, does anyone in the UK know if the BBC have been showing this live the whole time? I assumed it would only be on some pay channel so I haven't been watching until today. If it's been on this whole time, I'm gonna feel like a huge dumbass.

Anyhow, there still seems to be some life in Fed, the commentators are way too quick to call him beaten.

 

[qindarka]

Hope Fed can get at least a set. No shame in losing to Murray in this form but wouldn't want it to be straight sets.

 

[WriterGK]

Damn Murray is playing good. sogood.gif

I Live in the Netherlands and I watch it for free on Eurosport..

 

[RdN]

Holy shit...

 

[Niraj]

Hell of a point there

 

[Regulus Tera]

That was mental!

 

[darkwing]

Fed where are you

 

[Sax Russel]

God damn Lendl looks more dour than usual, like Murray were down two bagel sets or something =P

 

[Akito]

Fed's only chance now is getting to the tiebreak

 

[qindarka]

Murray's serves.......

 

[Niraj]

Man, even if it gets to a tiebreak, can't like Fed's chances there with Murray serving this well.

Bbc only have the rights to semi finals and finals of the AO, the rest of the tournament has been on Eurosport.
