Federer vs Murray ; Roger's Final

[AM95]

have they really been playing for an hour and 47 min. or is rain delay time added?

 

[thejoe]

Well held. 4-4.

Great smash to get to 30-0. As Goodall said, Fed's come out hitting the ball cleaner.

 

[Ledigs]

Sharapova is a much bigger star than Fed for the casual ESPN male viewer, and Clijsters won the US Open last year so she is recognizable.

 

[Tony48]

Is Murray still playing aggressive like he was in the beginning of the 1st set? I just tuned into the stream

 

[slicefox]

if fed figures out how to take care of the shanks he'll win USO.

his game is solid

 

[ballboy48]

"Desperate"? How? He's trailing Fed (to serve to stay in).

How can he be trailing if he's up a set?

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

big forehand, 15-0
Cmon Andy. Damn, 30-0

 

[AM95]

30-0. a clean forehand angle winner and a nice overhead.

 

[lonux]

Forehand magic from Federer, only to dump the next one into the net.

 

[thejoe]

40-15.
10char

 

[Dutch-Guy]

5-4 Fed. Murray to serve to stay in.

 

[AM95]

crazy hold from federer. if he was playing like this at the start of the match the outcome would have been very very different.

 

[ballboy48]

Murray playing better than he did against Nadal.

 

[TheMusicLover]

Fed looking much, much better now. I guess he found his brain back in the locker room.

 

[Tony48]

if fed figures out how to take care of the shanks he'll win USO.

his game is solid

Fountain of youth?

 

[Ledigs]

5-4 Fed. Murray to serve to stay in.

To stay in the SET not in the MATCH.

 

[AM95]

by the way guys. paul annacone is there. i heard daren cahill talking prior to the first rain delay of how annacone will come down and help federer out.

 

[lonux]

Please break now Fed. I'm begging you!

 

[dh003i]

I assume it means they are taping the men's match for showing after the women's match is over. LAME.

I find Fed-Murray matches dreadfully boring though overall

Yea, but it is still better to watch than women's tennis. Shame on ESPN for not showing it live.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

Don't wanna see no blood, don't be no macho man

 

[Ledigs]

Annacone is there analyzing Murray and gave Fed some tips I bet

 

[Dutch-Guy]

How can he be trailing if he's up a set?

We're talking about the 2nd set,aren't we? Murray has to hold his serve to stay in.That's what i ment by trailing.

 

[shadows]

Ahhhh, so that's where Maximo got to

 

[OddJack]

any good news folks?

 

[niff]

by the way guys. paul annacone is there. i heard daren cahill talking prior to the first rain delay of how annacone will come down and help federer out.

Cool, thanks.

 

[NADALbULLS]

Toronto crowds behave weird.

 

[Love Game]

There's the tennis.tv director promoting roger over andy ... somebody should count the times they show pro-roger signs on changeovers versus pro-andy signs ... they just cannot be impartial, can they?

 

[Dutch-Guy]

To stay in the SET not in the MATCH.

I didn't say otherwise my fellow Rafa supporter.

 

[AM95]

ughh federer needs to get these returns in and make murray PLAY. i wish he was hitting that backhand return instead of chipping it like he was doing yesterday with djoko and with berdych

 

[P_Agony]

I don't know, it's as if some of you think Murray doesn't deserve to be winning this match. Federer hasn't been at his best, but we can play the same game and say Murray is playing much better today tactically than in the final of Australia.

LOL have you been reading my posts? I'm a Murray fan as well! I want some competition.

 

[thejoe]

Super fast game from Andy, 40-0.

 

[rovex]

Murray hitting the forehand BIG.

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

40-0, solid game

 

[Omega_7000]

"Desperate"? How? He's trailing Fed (to serve to stay in).

In case you haven't noticed, he won set #1 & they are on serve in the second...Explain to me how Murray is in trouble again?

 

[niff]

Love hold for Murray, good serving.

 

[Bud]

This is turning into an interesting match

Excellent challenge

 

[jaggy]

5-5 now.........

 

[Ledigs]

I didn't say otherwise my fellow Rafa supporter.

Just trying to preserve the thread for historical purposes Have to remember some people are just following along and don't have access to the video

 

[lonux]

Don't choke now, Fed, I need you.

 

[AM95]

federer will serve to put his foot in the tie break . starts off with an ace..

err wait a challenge.

no. ball was out.

2nd serve

0-15 CRAP

 

[P_Agony]

Agree on the whole, but how you can possibly say that Federer-Djoko yesterday was 'outmugging' is beyond me. That was a very entertaining and high quality match of tennis.

I think what he meant is that both Fed and Djoko had their fair share of brain delays yesterday.

Fed nets a volley :-(

 

[ballboy48]

Fed is really bad at those low volleys. Come on Annacone do your job.

 

[slicefox]

that's why nobody comes to the net, its ***ing useless

 

[djokovicgonzalez2010]

15-0 to 0-15

 

[niff]

Fed getting owned at the net. 0-30

 

[P_Agony]

Fed in trouble. Needs some big serves now.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Poor net game by Fed,0-30...

 

[rovex]

Federer at the net against Murray really has not worked.

 

[AM95]

....omg. 0-30. shank mode+clown mode federe back in action.

 

[dh003i]

15-0 to 0-15

How'd that happen, did Murray challenge an ace?
