Murray wins first set 6-4 in 57 mins

 

GAME AND SECOND SET - Murray 6-4 5-7 Federer*

Be gone, fat clouds, and take your unwanted malevolence with you. That's peachy from the 25-year-old Scot - to 30-0 with a dead-eyed slapper high off the backhand side, hauled back to 30-15 as Fed glides to an angled drop-shot like a man on fast-forward in a slow-motion world. Ooops - Murray biffs a forehand long for 30-30, and lumps appear in throats all around. Glorious, glorious from Federer - drop-shot from nowhere to conjure up a set point. Murray has had four break points in this set, don't forget. Federer turning back the years - backhand cut away, Murray being forced deeper, backhand dropper - make it man, make it... he can't, he can't...

 

Roger starting to look good...

 

Did you meet her in the Rep Brothel AB?

 

Not my words, the BBC's man. Should have mentioned that.

 

More from the Beeb.

Murray* 6-4 5-7 0-1 Federer

That is why champions touch the heights while us mere mortals scrabble in the gutter. Brilliant play from Federer, picking Murray's pocket before the Briton even guessed his nimble fingers were tightening round his wallet. Federer holding as Murray's backhand hits tape and stops dead. Listen, rain - I'm aware I gave you the big send-off no more than a few minutes ago, but your assistance may be required here.

 

And yet more.

Murray 6-4 5-7 1-1 Federer*

It's dark out there now, it's hellishly dark. Umbrellas going up on Henman Hill, Murray needing something here at 30-30. That'll do, my wire-haired friend - forehand right onto the 'in' of line, Federer pushing too hard to calm the jelly-wobbles.

 

Murray* 6-4 5-7 2-3 Federer

Federer holds to love, the grandstands still only half full. Plenry of punters queuing to get back in - murdurous lines for the drinks concessions, murderous.

 

Murray 6-4 5-7 2-4 Federer*

 

Murray 6-4 5-7 2-5 Federer*

Murray racing to 40-0 - he was 40-0 in that last service game too, and that ended with him broken. Into the net to clump a simple put-away into the net, and Federer will sear a forehand cross-court for 40-30. Not again. First serve lands - Fed stretching into the net. And now to break.

Looks like it's bye bye Andy for another year.

 

Well, the Scotsman gae it a good go I suppose

 

GAME AND THIRD SET - Murray* 6-4 5-7 2-6 Federer

 

Not over yet of course but it looks like it's going to America again.

 

Murray 6-4 5-7 2-6 2-1 Federer*

Ghastly emptiness about Centre when the Murray errors land. Never have 16,000 people sounded so silent. Murray squeezes through his service game but it's tight again. Beetling brows now, heavy shoulders. Where will the change come from?

 

The Stadium of Light?

 

Something like that it seems.

 

Murray* 6-4 5-7 3-6 3-5 Federer

Murray furious with himself. Even now, teetering on the edge, he has a tiny opening at 30-30 and second serve but he can only find the net. Federer a single game away.

 

Looks like Federer is going to Roger him!

 

Roger done good.
Sometimes hen you come up against sporting age is you just have to take your hat off.
Feel sorry for Andy though. He played really well.
