Olympics 2012 Men's Singles Final: [1] Roger Federer vs [3] Andy Murray

[jacktheripper]

What do you guys think? I think the edge is with Murray after Federer's marathon SF.. HE is almost 6 years older, so if the match goes long, which I think it will, it will favor the younger player. BTW, I am a Federer fan!

Meanwhile Delpo breaks in the first.

Bamos DP

NBC or a billion online sites.

Federer holding

 

[TheF1Bob]

Feds playing like he did against Delpo but the good thing is, his serve was GODLY good that day so he's still the favorite for me.

Murray hasn't turned up, or the one against Djokovic that is.

where can I watch dis?

yotube olympics channel...Nice streaming!

 

[Warmaster]

The quality of play was higher in Wimbledon.

 

[Ico]

Shankkkkkkkkk. Oh my.

 

[TennisLovaLova]

care to share?

No pb but it Wont work outside spain (where I am), it's rtve.es/london

 

[jacktheripper]

Murray not having a good rhythm on his first serve.. Delivering very less first serves.. Still Federer not able to capitalize..

 

[Fiercer]

Damn shank. Though attacking that second serve is correct.

 

[Seventeen]

Ugly shank for what would have been a handy DLT FH for 2 break points for Fed.

 

[Underhand]

Murray's hairline is already receding.

 

[TennisLovaLova]

When you watch murray play you really understand how mentally difficult is tennis

 

[Rozroz]

Fed is Ok as long as Murray have low 1st serves.
the moment Murray starts acing it's trouble.

 

[Leto]

Mediocre play overall to this point...still lotsa time to make this a great match :-|

 

[Ico]

Federer is lacking the crispness he developed in the latter sets of the Wimbledon final. I haven't really seen it at The Olympics so I'm a bit worried. One of these men is going to rise to the occasion and run away with it, me thinks.

Me agrees ans also thinks it's gonna be real close this time
But I see fed winning this

 

[tom_asdelonge182]

Murrays starting the push

 

[Rozroz]

0-30...
i'm afraid Murray will take this game..
Fed is just too passive.

 

[tennis_pro]

0-30, Fed in danger

 

[jacktheripper]

Murray coming up with some big forehands to go up 30-0 on federer's serve.. I always thought that when Murray can start dictating with his FH, he will come closer to winning a slam. He has started to really hit is FH hard and this is helping him in matches against elite players

 

[Leto]

0-30, Fed in danger

With Fed's serve...danger really only starts when there's an actual breakpoint.

 

[Ico]

Yikes. Federer needs to step it up.

 

[TheF1Bob]

Murray in pusher mood today.

Disgusting.

 

[bezs]

Murrray f-bomb in slow mo..lol

 

[Ico]

Murrray f-bomb in slow mo..lol

Classic Andeh. :-?

 

[Rozroz]

this blind one sided crowd is just pathetic.
but they must root for Murray, don't they?

 

[Crayola Oblongata]

Murrray f-bomb in slow mo..lol

It's like, art. Pah.

Is this best of 5? It be interesting if Murray can maintain it as well.

 

[OddJack]

If he doesnt break here he will be broken next game

 

[tenniswriter]

Am I wrong for not getting excited by this match and the whole 'tennis at the Olympics' thing at all? I watch these guys all year round, I watch the Olympics to watch cool **** like archery and water polo

 

[jacktheripper]

Federer hits a ridiculous FH DTL and a puts away a smash.. Seriously, how good was that FH? And he follows it up with a BH error! Grrr

 

[tom_asdelonge182]

Seems federer struggling on his serve atm

 

[Leto]

Yikes. Federer needs to step it up.

Fed steps it up when his back against the wall....that's what it makes things impossible to predict.

Even when he is in front, he is prone to getting tight/losing focus, so i'd be shocked if this ended up being a 3-setter, no matter who wins the first set :shock:

 

[Rozroz]

Fed is just terrible. looking very grim at the moment.

 

[Ico]

And then ... Another.

 

[jacktheripper]

Uh oh! Another BH error gives breakpoint to Murray.. Andy really returning the wide slice on the deuce court

the final is five sets.

 

[Ico]

Maybe this is all Fed's master plan. Give him opportunities to blow to break him mentally.

 

[TennisLovaLova]

Wth roger...!

 

[SQA333]

Fed missing tons of first serves

 

[Rozroz]

Fed lost his serve.

 

[Ico]

the final is five sets.

I think he means neither player will win in straights. I'm not so sure.

 

[tennis_pro]

Del Potro takes the first set against Djokovic 7-5

 

[Leto]

Fed is just terrible. looking very grim at the moment.

Fed has looked A LOT more terrible than this, and still ends up winning in the end...

Both guys look tight so far....no real sense of any guy having a meaningful edge over the other yet, IMO...

 

[Ico]

Del Potro takes the first set against Djokovic 7-5

Cool. Thought he'd be drained.

 

[jacktheripper]

Murray takes some tips from Shankerror and puts a FH wide.. Federer attempts another great FH DTL, just missing.. Federer going for too much now..
