    Federer is unreal. Murray needs a toilet break or an injury timeout to break Federers rhythm

    Anyone watching the wheelchair tennis on BBC Two - pretty good.

    Federer's in-play shots are a lot flatter than Murray's today - it's more effective - Murray held well but (would be happy to be wrong) don't see him taking this match.

    It's the build up of pressure, murray was hitting it well earlier, but not doing enough now...

    Are the line judges getting sloppy because of Hawkeye?

    Murray needs to shore up his unforced errors.

    Apart from his serve being.... not great.... Andy's not doing much wring. Federer is just looking incredible, like he's rolled the clock back a few years.

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

    Majestic from Federer

    Federer has Murray on a string. He is running him all the court.

    Murrays backhands are not getting deep enough. Fed is killing him in the bassline rallys.

    Is it just me and efb, or are there a lot of shots not being called out? Half-way through that point I was certain Murray played it out, and so did a lot of the crowd. Poor game by the judges I think.

    Anyway, this is Federer's to lose.

    Oh Federer....

    Standard of tennis has rose dramatically in that 2nd set.

    Despite BBC's thoughts, the 1st set was crap.

    Fed playing like it's 2005, not 2015.

    Its noticeable the difference when Murray is playing.... Coverage wise.

    The BBC seem to be all about celebrity spotting & slo-mos.

    Tennis seems secondary.

    Federer will win the 3rd set comfortably.

    Federer is making Murray look very ordinary.

    Be great if Federer can win the final ,it would prove the doubters wrong.

    I bet the LTA wished they rigged the draw now so Djokovic Federer would have played at the semi ... Gasquet would've been easy for Muzza

    :P

    Test of Murrays mental strength. Will he fall to pieces or launch a fightback.

    Still wouldn't completely write off Murray. I remember Federer in the 2011 US Open SF v Djokovic, 2-0 up, served for the match and lost...

    At this rate I don't even think Djokovic has much of a chance against Fed.

    Why does Federer never stick out a racquet on the down the line passing shots, especially the passing shots off the short balls? He's rarely that far away and Murray is just caressing them down the line and it's the same shot at least 5 times in the last 20 minutes.

    At least there are more celebs at this match for them to focus on. In the earlier one the director/camerman kept focussing on any good looking girl in the crowd. Was rather creepy
