Murray is on fire!

 

[Aegus]

Everytime I see Fed go for a drop over the net Murray nails him.

 

[Tookay]

At least Fed's serves aren't as embarrassing anymore.

 

[Niraj]

Everytime I see Fed go for a drop over the net Murray nails him.

Yeah definitely. Fed needs to give up on that.

 

[Akito]

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

It would be certainly easier than breaking Murry for real

 

[Diprosalic]

Murray is on fire!

barely beating a subpar federer is on fire?

 

[inm8num2]

BREAK HIM, FED!

 

[Niraj]

So uh...Fed. Break here? Please?

 

[Reyne]

A surprise break here would be pleasant...

 

[Niraj]

Dat rally....

 

[mclem]

To be honest, I'm rooting for Murray just to see if he can possibly win his second straight Grand Slam title against Djokovic

Someone mentioned to me yesterday that no-one has ever won their second slam *immediately* after the first one; is that true? There's a chance of history being made here, but there's two tough opponents first!

 

[inm8num2]

Here comes the usual Fed meltdown of unforced error after unforced error.

 

[Niraj]

That's disappointing for Fed there. Clearly turned it up. Hopefully he can hold easily here.

 

[clemenx]

As much as I love Fed, Murray not playing like a bitch makes for some amazing tennis.

 

[RdN]

WHat up with Federer volleying right on Murray? Not the first time he does that.

 

[inm8num2]

It's so refreshing to see Fed going to the net.

You just don't see enough serve and volley these days.

And look at that - two straight points.

 

[Sax Russel]

Thankfully Fed's serving has picked up.

 

[qindarka]

WHat up with Federer volleying right on Murray? Not the first time he does that.

Can be a tactic so that Murray has it too close to the body and has to hit an awkward passing shot. Murray is so fast he can run down volleys placed to the open court.

 

[Tookay]

Well that was a refreshing game.

 

[Niraj]

One last chance to break before we get to a tiebreak. Ugh just saying tiebreak in relation to Federer makes me feel queasy D:

He is the best tiebreak player in history.

Djoker's match ended a few minutes sooner than where this match is right now

 

[EdibleExplosives]

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

Yeah I used a live stream of their's a few times but the quality wasn't great so I didn't watch much.

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

That makes sense, thanks.

 

[Diprosalic]

He is the best tiebreak player in history.

yeah but he usually is the better server on the field and if not he's the way better returner. none of those things are true today. not saying he won't win it but i'm not sure we can apply history to this one.

 

[MIMIC]

tiebreak time

 

[Reyne]

He is the best tiebreak player in history.

This. Federer is usually incredible clutch in tiebreaks. Won two of them in his previous match against Tsonga, so there.

 

[Niraj]

Here we go

 

[clemenx]

What's with this serving from Murray? Crazy stuff.

 

[MIMIC]

Muzza donates the mini-break back.

1-1

 

[Niraj]

Whew. Gift from Murray there after a minibreak to start the tiebreak

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Wtf murray.

He's gonna throw this away in the tiebreak, isn't he.

 

[Sax Russel]

The fuck was that Murray

 

[Reyne]

Federer takes the minibreak after all

 

[RdN]

Now's the time, Fed.

 

[Akito]

Please don't fuck this up Fed

 

[Niraj]

YES!

 

[szaromir]
