If Federer gets this, then it's over I think.

Can't see Murray winning the next three.

[Manwell Pablo]

Thats it Manwell keep the faith.

well was a game early but it was obvious.

[davieG]

I think it's called taking the piss!

[LeeCovFox]

Well thats ****ed it then.

[Uncle Albert]

I have faith but I am going bed.

[martyn]

That break was inevitable. Murray dominated that set but just didnt take his chances.

[Manwell Pablo]

I have faith but I am going bed.

[Manwell Pablo]

Was about to say if he loses this game it really is over, but it really is over anyway.

[Alexikokopops]

Effortless from Federer. He looks a class above.

[Manwell Pablo]

Effortless from Federer. He looks a class above.

He's not had to work for it, Murray has been completley dog apart from a spell in the second.

[Tommeh]

Too good,

Chin up Andy.

Effortless is the best descriptive word for Federer out, he makes it all look so easy.

[Manwell Pablo]

...well at least the scores going to have a fair reflection on the match. 6-0/1 would of been hard on him.

[Sods]

Well.

Henman would of won it.

Unlucky Murray.

[Manwell Pablo]

...well at least the scores going to have a fair reflection on the match. 6-0/1 would of been hard on him.

2's probable fair though

[Bert]

Well done to both.

[Simi]

Federer was leagues above Murray, effortless has been said. I love Federer and that summed up why. Murray could never really get going but his best years are ahead of him.

Federer still the best in the world in my eyes, absolute class act.

Federer makes tennis look so easy. Incredible player.

Great tournament for Murray though, no way is this going to be his last major final.

[Alexikokopops]

Make the most of that Lexus Roger. You definitely won't be able to afford a better car with your $1.5million prize money.

[lavrentis]

hahaha he get's a Lexus. Only in America.

[Manwell Pablo]

hahaha he get's a Lexus. Only in America.

Bet he's well chuffed, no need for that Lamborghini anymore.

Hope the French follow suit and start giving away Clios to the winners of Roland Garos.

Yes, he'd have to win the next 9 games they play in a row, you fool.

I think you'll find that it was 2-1 before the match and Federer just won easily... so now it's 2-2 making it 8 MATCHES not games YOU fool!!!

And seriously... having just witnessed the nigh on destruction of Murray by a FAR superior player, do you really think that 8 out of every 10 matches they play is that unrealistic!?!!

Perhaps you don't watch that much tennis, or maybe you are just incredibly stupid but doubting Federer's chances is utterly ridiculous!

Federer was a class above, simple as that. If Murray really want to genuinely challenge for Slams, he needs to up his game, and get onto the same level as Nadal and Federer (Djokovic?). Because they are setting the standard. I think he needs to work on his consistency aswel. After thwe way he played against Nadal, to play like he did today against Federer is dissappointing. But the experience is good for him, and he'll come back stronger.

Well done to him. And well done Roger. Different gravy.

[Lovejoy]

To be fair to Murray, he lost to the greatest player of all time today. Federer at times made it look effortless and was a pleasure to watch. The first player ever to win 5 successive slams in seperate competitions , and I reckon this will be the base for his assault next year, where he'll win at least 2 slams imo. No disrespect to Nadal, but I would love him to win the French!

I think you're a complete twat for even trying to doubt Manwell's sports knowledge.

Nooo.... as the game they were playing at the time wasn't finished when I said that, the first set had only just finished.

I think you've made it clear throughout the thread who hasn't got a clue what they're on about. Although if Federer does beat him the next 8 times they play I'll take my hat off to you.
