What a phenomenal point to win the second set there from Federer. Sheer class.

[Gazz]

Fed brings the magic

[brenchill]

It's hard not to applaud him. Those two points were awesome.

[IAceI]

If Murray can come out and get his first serve firing he's still in with a great chance.

[Matt]

It's hard not to applaud him. Those two points were awesome.

It didn't seem like a polite applause though, I know Murray isn't the most popular British sportsperson but it sounded awfully loud.

[Summers]

Federer has been getting a good reaction all game.

[IAceI]

There's only really the French Open where the crowd won't vociferously cheer a home nation player's opponent.

[Liam]

People love Federer at Wimbledon, and in the UK, due to him winning it so often. Very likeable, and whilst people will be upset if Murray doesn't win, Fed is definitely the people's choice otherwise.

[Summers]

someone explain to me how the roof closing changes this. i don't get it.

[Gazz]

Stops the rain getting in

[Summers]

shut it. i meant why does it suddenly give federer a bigger advantage. it's the same court.

[Adam]

The conditions change completely. Temperature, humidity, the balls hit heavier. The acoustics are different.

I have to go out at 7pm at the latest, so this rain delay is a total nightmare for me. Unless it's wrapped up in two more sets which is always possible.

[Liam]

yeah, it changes the way the ball moves, basically.

[IAceI]

I think Sue and the rest of the BBC did over play the whole 'advantage' thing for Federer a tad mind. It's not like he's going to evolve or go super Saiyan or something like that, but the condition change does favour him a bit more than Murray.

[Gazz]

Sounded like 'excuse making/Murray overcomes insurmountable odds' hyperbole to me.

[IAceI]

Probably the second one, it'd be a bit odd for them to start the excuses given the montages about destiny and fate we've had for the past two weeks.

[Katsuya]

That looked nasty on first view

[IAceI]

This one game has become a bit of an epic on it's own.

[Katsuya]

This is getting ridiculous.

10 Deuces later, Federer breaks Murray. I think that will be the point that breaks Murray's spirit. That's why Federer's the greatest of all time.
