Andy Murray...

much better stuff from murray.. applying the pressure and fed looks a bit shakey
 
Lots of missed opportunities just like against Nadal. Still, Fed's been playing much better than Nadal did to start with and slightly better than Nadal ever really managed. The way he's manoeuvred Murray around the court at times has been far too much for Murray to take.

Seems thaty Murray's only chance is to get this first serve going somewhere near 70% and then hope he can force mistakes on Federer's shots. Not good seeing him looking wearied after 13 games though.

That last shot of the last game was exactly the shot that caused Federer so many problems last time. Needs to do more on that.
 
Federer 3-0 is actually odds on after that last hold, by the way. At just under evens, it's hard to argue with that price.
 
Just stuck another tenner on this set going to a tie break.

Cue Federer break now, of course.
 
Bugger it there goes my 6-4 prediction for the second set :( Oh well.
 
Federer is so in control of this match. He seemed to be cruising in the last set and his raised game in game 12 suggests he may well have been. Just turned it on completely and changed the pace of his game.

Shame really that Murray's come up against Fed at his best but beating one of Fed and Nadal's a pretty decent effort even if/when he can't find a way back here.

It seems the problem for MUrray is that he had a game plan against Nadal and it worked so well that even when Nadal came back at him, the game plan boosted his game enough to keep him ahead. I'm not sure what his game plan is here but it seemed to be make Federer play a lot of shots and hope that he can sow seeds of doubt. Not interested.
