My big balls punt on Fed at 5.5 came in!Euler wrote:
Murray got off to a great start but the roof and that really long game in the third (I think) just handed the edge to Federer. Shame, but not totally unexpected. Somehow Murray needs to avoid the top three and they he may get a decent shot at a title. Federer looked good for his age.
I was definitely sweating for the first 2 sets though... Murray was really giving it his all and the first 2 sets were dead even. You should have noticed though that Fed was making a high number of unforced errors and despite that Murray still couldnt take control of the match.
Once the roof went on and Fed cut out the errors he started to pull away from Murray and take control of the match winning very comprehensively in the end. Interesting that in the end it was Murray that was run ragged with exhaustion not Fed.
