murray's service games are terrifying.
Both guys' service games are terrifying today.

Fed needs to do a lot more on his returning. At 30-all he actually went for it on his BH return, caught Murray off guard. On the BP, he went for that crappy short slice BH return and Murray didn't fall for it. He has to be more aggressive on BPs, it's Murray's 2nd serve.
The challenged point that was shown to be in, Federer didn't get the 15 for some reason.
Gotcha. Like someone else said, since Murray got his racket on the ball, the point is replayed. The argument is that the "out" call by the linesman distracted the player (Murray), so awarding the point to Federer would have been "unfair".
Like I said before, 99% of the time, the point will always be replayed if the player gets their racket on the ball.

Murray has got to be one of the most unlikeable sports players today.

murray's second serve is good though.
wish he didn't have to use it so much though.

That's a crappy rule that can cost players matches.

These games are lasting a long time. If this goes to five sets it'll be at least 5 hours long.

Federer is letting Murray off on the 2nd serves. I mean he's still winning a lot of points on it but not the big ones. Only a matter of time..

Crucial game. Murray better hold, I have a feeling he won't though
Edit: Reverse Voodoo. Every time.

It's at the umpire's discretion. Some umpires would have awarded the point to Fed.
Replaying the point just keeps it simple, and most players don't make a fuss about it (since they have benefited from rulings like that)

Wow that's even worse.

Charlie Brooker's on Murray today - http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jul/08/andy-murray-not-miserable-just-normal?CMP=twt_gu
To be fair, us Scots are a bit miserable.
Wow that's even worse.
Not many would have in that situation though, if any. It's definitely a weakness in the challenge system though, although it's still miles better than it was.

At least every Murray game has been a tussle while Federer's serving games have been reasonably straight-forward. The tennis scoring system is so cruel.
All you folks supporting fed, where are you from?
Netherlands
???
Which part?
The referee being able to choose whether to give points or not.

Murray has won more points over all I'm pretty sure.At least every Murray game has been a tussle while Federer's serving games have been reasonably straight-forward. The tennis scoring system is so cruel.
Murray needs an easy hold here.

okay Rog, time to break
Not really. Murray has won quite a few points on Federer's serve, and obviously broken twice.At least every Murray game has been a tussle while Federer's serving games have been reasonably straight-forward. The tennis scoring system is so cruel.

Well they're usually very fair about it. The umpires are usually great with calls, and there aren't too many objections (by either side).
But yeah....in tennis, it comes down to discretion with those types of things.

Going to be another break point for Fed here..

I think that was Iain Hislops son.who's the kid with the sunglasses? what a douche.
Interesting. I switched to ESPN from ESPN 3 and then it was asking me to go through a provider thing. So the screen is paused byt I can still hear the audio from the McEnroes. Weird. Guess I'm stuck with what might be the most boring announcers in tennis history here.NBC no longer has the TV rights to Wimbledon. The match is on ESPN's main channel

One of the worse ones was a couple of years ago when Nadal was playing Soderling. I still remember Nadals reaction, "Pascal!? What are you saying!!?".Well they're usually very fair about it. The umpires are usually great with calls, and there aren't too many objections (by either side).
Nice easy hold for Murray, needed that.

I don't get how bipartisan the crowd are, they all sit there with their satires and union jacks but still cheer a Fed point.
Wouldn't mind a bit more atmosphere.
I'm Scottish, wouldn't find me cheering a Fed point.
