Fed serving to stay in the match at 76 36 35

0-15, what can only be described as a shocker from Fed, he had the open court to aim at and still went really very wide
15-15, made up for it there by voley winner on the back line behind Andy though :(
30-15, fh dtl winner for Fed, nothing Andy could do
40-15, telegraphed the drop shot, Andy got there, but was too far off court to defend the volley winner.
game. ace.

so Andy'll have to serve it out please.gif:plesae:please.gif

45*

From the set and a bit I watched, seemed such a mature performance from Andy.

Wow, what a great match by Andy. So cool and contained. Just brilliant. Well done and can't wait for the next match. Such different play from Rotterdam, thank goodness.

That was FANTASTIC!

I couldn't post because I was trying to record the livestream - I don't know if it worked because I have to dash off now and make the meal/go out.

I'll read through the thread later!

It will take some time to wipe the smile off my face. . .

Well done, that man! smile  w00t.gif  From the Beeb's text commentary:

Well, well, well. Brilliant stuff from Murray, who kept his composure after losing the first-set tiebreak from 5-2 up. Federer looked short of match practice - but it still takes a special player to hold his nerve against the world number one. Murray now has a 2-1 head-to-head record against Federer. The Briton did not face a break point in the entire match. Astonishing.
