WIMBLEDON MEN'S FINAL

[MrsVamos]

Well, it's the Final.

It deserves it's own thread.

Rooting for Roger. COME ON ROGER !

Federer is 2-1 sets ahead, but they're level in the 4th set. If Federer wins this set, the match is over and he wins; if Murray wins, they go to a 5th set and whoever wins that wins the match.

Go ON Rog

I'm going to cry.

Waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Murray is British, let the bloody crowd get behind him and let the bloody commentators get behind him. Fed I'd a great player, no one doubts that.

Finally! Roger is the best indoors player

I can't see Andy pulling it off now

That would make sense Jellykat if Murray had been the underdog. The general opinion of those 'in the know' with regards to tennis was that Murray's record against Roger is good, so he should win.

They ranted the other day about how great he is indoors/under the roof, yet when it started raining today, Sue 'turncoat' Barker whinged that it would favour Roger.

Sue is usually lovely, and has always adored Fed, we all know that, her about face today has been horrible, I thought.

Thank you sayanything

Rog is a great player - you cannot argue with that.

However you cannot argue that although tiring now it seems Murray has given him a run for his money so far.

TBF Rog is only 1 set up atm and Murray could win this game making it more interesting.

I think if it goes to 5 Roger will win.

But as far as Wimbledons' concerned surely Murray is the underdog? he's never been in a final starters..

I think if it was an American in the Us Open, An Aussie in the Australian or a Frenchman in the Roland Garros, the home commentators would be exactly the same.

DD (3) asked if Doctor Who was there to save Murray!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek

No, Jellycat, he wasn't ! They look at all the Slams and tournaments to gauge their ability to defeat another player.

Just going on what I have heard from the various 'experts' etc...although I am still trying to work out what makes John Lloyd and Andrew Castle experts.

I'm only here as distraction from the stress.
Where are my smelling salts?

I think if it goes to a 5th Murray could win it - don't forget Roger is an old man.

Oof. Confirmed by PM. That's OK then.

Someone is actually wearing that newspaper hat!

Should Federererer win this match, I will after the initial sting and sulk, be very happy for him. He will have equalled Sampras' record of seven Wimbledon wins and I've forgotten how many slams.

If Federererer was playing anyone else but Murray, I'd want Federererer to win.

Oh, woman wearing Daily Mail hat!

I think in terms of experience and finals, Federerererer has the edge, given the number he's won. That makes him favourite, irrespective of his current ranking, or head to head stats against Murray. The head to head stats don't really give an accurate picture really, as it all depends on what stage of the competition each won against the other. Seeing as Murray has yet to win a grand slam, I still say he's the underdog here.

You'd've thought Fed could let us win this one, seeing as it's our Jubilee & Olymics year and all.....

Not saying that the number of slams will equal Sampras'. I'm sort of losing the power of coherent thought.

Come on, Roger !
