And djokovic says in his i/v he hasnt been feeling well the past five or six days, but "I don't want to talk about it now"


Umm, you just did.

Sounded like the majority of the crowd were behind Fed in this game. He might find that's not quite the case on Sunday...

they may cheer more for murray but i don't think the british crowd is actually going to root against roger...i don't think there is a tennis crowd that would do that...

Murray dismantling Tsonga's second serve

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, on a challenge too.

74 years of hurt over, etc. First Briton since Bunny Austin to make the men's final.

I don't like Djokovich, but he was apparently asked how he felt, said that and then avoided all other questions about it.

I know that it has been raining a lot but it is still disappointing to see a soft, green court at this stage

If this court was anything like the one Cash won on, Murray wouldnt have a prayer but given that it is nothing more than a slightly dodgy, medium paced hard court, he could have half a chance

 

[Anil]

i have a sneaking suspicion that sunday is going to be murray's day...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Never beaten Fed is a slam tournament, has he? Can't see it changing now.

 

[Jono]

Radwanska saves 2 break points and prevents being bageled in the first set.

 

[Burgey]

Anyone else think the only place this final is really being played is between Murray's ears?

 

[Uppercut]

Nah I think the opposite. Having a rock-solid mental state won't do Murray any good if Federer's at his best.

 

[grecian]

Yeah, Fed the better player, and has looked much the more accomplished this tournament, arguably his fave surface too, not Stigs.

 

[Somerset]

Terrific start from Murray. Interesting to see how he copes with the pressure after the break so early.

 

[MW1304]

Christ Murray came out of the blocks better but Federer is playing some blinding stuff. Murray doing well to hang on atm.

And then breaks again. That came out of nowhere.

 

[MW1304]

And the first set! This is so exciting, not sure he can keep it up though.

 

[Jono]

That was so awesome. Go Murray. So mega.

 

[MW1304]

Really hanging in atm, Federer's cut down on the unforced errors and taking the initiative. Every game feels like an ordeal for Murray.

Double fault right on cue...

Still, no harm done and he holds to 30.

 

[stumpski]

Two points away from 2-0 ...

Go on, you Swiss ****, go in the hamstring or something.

 

[GIMH]

You just knew Murray would rue the break points he dropped earlier in the set.
