Crucial hold for Murray there.
Edit: I was predicting the second one there.

I really think Murray might been hurt on his right leg, watch his right leg when he is severing, he is compensating for something and I think that is where the problem might be.
Nope, they have shown his coach again, he is going to get broken here too
edit: Coach hoodoo broken.

That was a brave hold there and he is on a knife edge here needing a break to get back into the set plus the match.
Federe will have an easy service game now and pressure right back on murray.
Just in a different League to Murray atm. Murray still can't find his 1st serve.
Game, set, Mat...?
There goes the 2nd set to Roger
Eek, Murray needs Federer to drop his form because he can barely get a point on Federers serve let alone a break.
you don't go into such a game waiting for your opponent to make mistakes. Has he even had a break point?
He needs to attack and throw all sanity to the wind. Let Federer hit passing shots.

Murray is struggling out there as his serving is off, which is leaving him open for the breaks he has to get this firing to win his service games. If he cant get this going in the 3rd set and fast this will be over in 3 for Federer.
He has had lots of break points on Federers serve just hasn't taken enough of them unlike Federer.
He had tons in the first set. I think he's intimidated playing Rog in 5 setters.
Federer's extremely good at tennis.
He is as good as long as Rafa's knee is broken
murray getting frustrated
got one now... and fecked it up then threw a tantrum
even if rafa is on form there is little to choose between the two of em
Incredible from Federer and Murray is not doing much wrong here
The pressure he is imposing on Murray is awesome - almost error free, high class, power, variety of spin and placement on the serve mostly first serves. Almost unplayable imo
I'd only fault Murray on his caution in that he really needs to aim for the lines and go for broke and put Federer under some 'movement stress' - make him really work a bit. Thats one thing he's not doing unlike the top spin merchants who can make the ball kick up shoulder high Fed can take a real swipe at the ball and return with interest. On the 3rd 4th shot of a rally he really needs to make Fed go back or wide at least make him think about something - atm its just waiting for the inevitable
Fantastic Federer

Murray still can't break
Unless they play at Roland Garros.
I like Federer, after him, Del Potro, then Murray. I can't stand Djokovic at all. I just respect Rafa, but I don't support him.
Murray woken up at last only taken him 2 sets.
shit, I hit that on Wii all the time
And if things weren't bad enough for Murray, he's got an injury in the right leg.
In an era of specialists, you're either a clay court specialist, a grass court specialist, or a hard court specialist...or you're Roger Federer.

Looks like he jarred it when trying to get to a shot during the game there, so hopefully it isn't anything serious.
What a fecking tool. Rafa has won Grand Slams on three different surfaces.
Are you allowed to drink Lucosade in such games? A chilled one will be nice right about now.
Murray breaks
They use other energy drinks though which is why you see the 2 bottles out there. Murray breaks Federer finally come on Murray.
That was some great tennis there...
Murray breaks...
Murray breaks...
That was weird, Rog had a couple of opportunities to put that point away and just didn't take them.
Really? Someone should get on the phone to Connors right away and tell him that complimenting Federer insults Nadal by default even if the Mallorca native leads their head-to-head 13-7.
That moment was amazing, it was loads of Scottish people all screaming "Cooomme Oooooonnnn!"
true...
and although aggasi may have won on more surfaces than sampras it hardly makes sampras poor player does it
