    Did Rodger even care about the Olympics?

    I think the BBC are over egging that one.

    If wawrinka played at the same level as he played gasquet he would have lost today in three or maybe four.

    one thing about fererer, I don't think i have ever seen him hand over a match, the other guy amlost always has to WIN it...

    murray hasn't had a great record against top ten players this year, despite only loosing one match...

    he is an Wavrinka ? or Djokovic ?


    Ah Andy Roddick ... great a neutral !!!

    Not against Nadal, he completely falls to pieces on occasions when playing him.

    A-Rod has been a welcome addition to the BBC team. Some legend.

    This match too close to call for me, fed looking imperious last few weeks but hardly tested, murrays been in great nick all year.

    Whoever takes the first set wins it...

    He wanted it bad, and had said so many times.

    Why do the number of sets get lower as the tournament progresses? I thought they would get higher ala snooker darts etc

    ?

    The gap between the top players and the rest perhaps

    Good point by Roddick that Federer is using serve and volley to widen the court. Staying back when he goes down the T.

    Outside of serving, Federer has not showed up yet. Groundstrokes generally poor, Murray looks capable of winning every rally.

    They don't, Mens Grand Slam Matches are always best of 5, Ladies best of three, regardless of the round.

    Feds serve looking awesome but the variety of murrays ground strokes equally so

    Federer serving so well that I can't see him losing a tiebreak if goes 6-6 in this first set.

    1st set to Fed and he doesn't look like he's out of first gear yet

    Oh dear, what a flop service game. Not happy, but not panicking yet. I'd always thought it would take 4 or 5 sets for Murray to win this.

    This will be a test of Murray's resolve now. Fed played great that set.

    Why does the BBC allow that ape Andrew Castle to commentate,he is insufferable.

    Just noticed, is Murray no longer wearing his wedding ring in his shoe laces.
