Fed holds from 0-30. Might be a bit of a turning point that.

No tie breaks any more. This is the fifth set.
Wimbledon doesn't have TB does it? Or did they change rules?
Exactly what I said. But the start if this set and he has not missed a first serve yet.
Del Po raining down aces already 
Will be a miracle if Nadal gets the win on this surface.

Nah, somehow in my frustrations I completely blanked the fact out of my mind.
Anderson doesn't look like he's going to start missing.
I think it's all just mental now. Even if he holds till 4-4, you just know he'll crack at 5-4 down.
Anderson 0-30 down.
So impressed with Anderson so far. He's sticking to the gameplan, for better or worse. And I think he might well beat Federer with it.
Bah. That was the chance for Ando.
Fed’s in a really tight box right now. He can’t really mix it up and start to attack the net, having no margin for error, but Anderson is just relentless.
40-0 to BP. That's how it ends for Anderson. Ugh
Nothing worked.
Deuce. Just hold somehow.
Well done to Anderson.
Big hold and Rafa goes 0-30 as well on the Del Po serve. Good minute or so.
Bah Nadal misses both BP. Could prove really costly that.
If Anderson keeps up this serving form for another 2 games, he will win.
Fed's holding with ease now. Not good signs for Anderson.
6-6
Federer is starting to look strong again, but Anderson isn't ready to give up. Good match.

Think Anderson deserves the win sadly. Not like Fed would have gone much further anyway, Raonic or Isner would have been a huge struggle and no way he would have beaten Nadal in this kinda form.
I've not seen every match he's played at Wimbledon this year, but what I have seen of Federer prior to today is that he's been making the wins look easy. Anderson's doing really well here.
8-8
Anderson has definitely slowed down a bit, problem is Fed still hasn’t gotten any real sniff at his serve.
My gut tells me that Federer is going to drop his level in the next service game or two and that’ll be it.
Feck me my anxiety levels have gone up like crazy, This is going on and on. Every time Fed serves I can barely look.
Anderson to break.
This is just a war of attrition now, both of them can hardly move
Just noticed that Djokovic did the damn thing earlier
Anderson breaks - let's see if he can hold his nerve
That was coming. He just doesn't have the game to keep getting out of the holes he's digging for himself.
Serving for the match, wow!
Catastrophe!
Let’s go Anderson
That's Roger gone
The crowd.
Serious now. What a turnaround if Anderson does it as well, from two sets down.
He hasn’t even gotten to 30-15 since 8-7 or so. Inevitable really, body of a 37 year old.That's Roger gone
Went for the workout with Federer 2 sets up. Jesus what happened to him.
