Federer vs Murray ; Roger's Final

[thejoe]

What a backhand overhead. Gutsy to play that when that tactic hasn't worked well at all.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Smelling a break here...

 

[Love Game]

roger gives andy a taste of his own BH smash medicine

 

[dh003i]

Murray playing pretty sloppy and still about to serve for the match in straights. The thing is, Federer has been playing like this the entire tournament. It's just that Murray, SO FAR, is the only player to not let him get away with it. We'll see if he does it here though...

Not really, he is clearly playing worse in the finals than he did during the rest of the tournament. The rest of the tournament, he'd have at least one great set, one set of great play. Not so here.

He may be a little bit worn out, or maybe he is just off today.

In any event, Murray is playing good aggressive tennis. I'm disappointed Federer dumped his serve so many times, but Murray has played the kind of tennis he should have started playing 2 years ago.

Fed blows an easy shot. choked

 

[Bud]

Murray has a beautiful BH... better and more solid than Djokovic

 

[P_Agony]

Horrible shank there. LOL.

 

[thejoe]

And he misses the easiest shot of the rally again...

 

[okdude1992]

oh no. shank forehand goes in and fed still loses point

 

[shadows]

Justice that Murray ended up winning that point given Fed's mega shank midway through the rally landing on the line heh

 

[NADALbULLS]

Stop trolling, you're no good at it.

That's because I'm not trolling.

 

[slicefox]

bullsh!t, that should have been fed's point.

why no drop volley?

 

[Tony48]

Ugh....pushfest at the beginning of that point.

30-all

 

[lonux]

Break Break Break

Shank Shank Shank

 

[thejoe]

Good return. Break point.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

BP Fed.......

 

[shadows]

Fed hits his best return of the match to get a break point

 

[P_Agony]

Fed with a great return gets a slight chance to break back and take this to a TB.

 

[jergosh]

What an odd player Federer has become...

 

[Bud]

god he needed that ace

40-40

Ace

MP Murray

Great return by Federer

40-40

 

[shadows]

Clutch from Lord Murray

 

[lonux]

PLEEEAAAASE I need a tiebreak and a third set.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Saved with an ace...

 

[rovex]

My word that's BIG serving.

 

[P_Agony]

Monster serve by Murray to save BP.

 

[shadows]

Doubly Clutch

That's huge from Lord Muray

 

[JoelDali]

Judy's arrogance is a disgrace.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Another ace, MP Murray...

 

[P_Agony]

MP Murray, nets it.

 

[NADALbULLS]

Murray has the volleying skills and the soft touch at the net to employ Annacone's tactics. He should hire him, since he wants to be more aggressive.

 

[Ledigs]

wow murray impressive with clutch huge serving

 

[Tony48]

LOL, Murray.

Deuce

 

[Love Game]

Ace andy ...... deuce

MP thrown away!

 

[Bud]

MP #2 Murray

Beautiful tennis from both

Murray in 2!

This could be the turning point for Murray

1st time beating Federer in a final and in straight sets

7-5, 7-5

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Another MP Murray...

 

[shadows]

Great point from Murray, awesome get off Feds huge return.

 

[P_Agony]

What a get and what a return. MP Murray.

 

[rovex]

This is great the end of the match.

 

[ballboy48]

See if Federer had a moonball like Nadal he'd last longer in some of these points.

 

[Ledigs]

Fed's slower speed there hurt him. 4 years ago he would have hit a winner on the run

 

[Tony48]

Oh wow...Murray still playing aggressively

MP #2 for Murray

 

[TMF]

Congradulation to Murray...he was the better player today. Good luck to Roger upcoming in Cinci. That surface will suit him better.

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Murray wins 7-5,7-5. Congrats

 

[dh003i]

Murray has the volleying skills and the soft touch at the net to employ Annacone's tactics. He should hire him, since he wants to be more aggressive.

He certainly does, but so does Federer.

Neither is as good currently as Federer was in 2003, 2004 and before.

Federer certainly has the touch to get those great volleys back, with practice. Only a '**** who didn't watch any of his matches back when he used to S&V a lot would say otherwise.

 

[shadows]

Lord Murray reigns supreme in Canada!

 

[slicefox]

See if Federer had a moonball like Nadal he'd last longer in some of these points.

QFT

well said

 

[NADALbULLS]

This is the first time in world global history that Murray has beaten Federer in a Final.

 

[ballboy48]

Fed will get revenge at the USO

 

[jaggy]

Gone yersel wee Andy

 

[T1000]

Congrats to pusher for winning
