Murray v Federer

[Tricky Dicky]

First blood Murray.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Won't work on my PC here. (I've tried!)

Oh, it works for me at work - although I'm at home today due to the trains being up the chute earlier - and I really am working, believe it or not.

 

[Hendrax]

he is oozing confidence in this set.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

3-0, but it's only 1 break. AM has lost his serve a few times this match when it looked like he was on a roll.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I knew the Brit would come good.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I'm resisting the urge to load the TV coverage on the Beeb website. Every time I've decided to watch because I think Murray's going to win the set/match, he's cocked it up.

 

[Hendrax]

some great tennis by murray, i cant see him losing this now. (famous last words )

 

[Tricky Dicky]

A least a chance to serve for it (again), but maybe break Fed in this one for it.

 

[Hendrax]

match point

 

[Hamilton]

Thank Christ for that!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

And there you go, 6-2 in the 5th. AM is just so much mentally stronger than he used to be, presumably with help from Lendl

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Come on Murray, phew, Fed looked good, but Murray was better. Good luck in the final, his sixth Grand Slam final

 

[Hendrax]

MURRAY WINS!! bring on Djokavic

 

[Bold Seagull]

Superb!!!

Pre US Open win Murray would have lost that. Great belief shown. He was probably on top for 75% of the match, but Federer is such a champion. Very good match. Hopefully that last set won't have taken too much out of Murray.

 

[Monkey Man]

He's the real deal. The control on some of those shots in the last set, and the composure he showed, was just awesome.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Excellent win. It is clear that Murray is a lot better than most give him credit for and Lendl has done wonders with the mental side of his game. A proper British Tennis superstar in the making.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Backed Murray to win 3-2,,,,happy at the moment. Fed needs this set though.

Oi Oi! Well played, what price was that?

Really looking forward to the final now!

I really think AM is better than Fed at this point in time. Murray'll never top the level that Fed got to, but he's not quite a that level any more. He won't need to fear him again as long as he's fit. Could be another great final, I'd tip Djok to win, but could go either way.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Federer is 31 now and will be slowing down in future.

I think I'd agree, but it will be interesting given Djok was largely outplayed by Murray in the US Open, and that certainly cracks that edge he had over Murray before that. Exciting times ahead for AM.
