Wot no thread today? Is it just not exciting enough, or is nobody following it?
So what do all the doubters reckon on him going from 1-3 to 6-3 in the second set?
yeah i was just thinking the same thing - got it on mute at work. didn't expect him to get the second after the first couple of games, surely it's a formality now - ferrero's bottling it.
Living up to expectations at last...let's see how long he lasts.
I do not expect him to win I am afraid.
oh you're so cynical
Not at all...he's not consistently managing to play under pressure yet.
he did alright under pressure a couple of days ago, though - first time he's gone 5 sets like that where you could argue he lost his chance to finish it and then risen to the occasion and sealed it.
to be honest, i just wanted to call you cynical.
he's smashing him all over now - that backhand that ferrero netted for 0-40 was awesome. serve game for the match now. comprehensive.
the boy done good
He played well today - good on the whinger.
Still don't like the personality that comes across from him, but his game is now looking good at times.
But Federererer is looking red-hot - some of his returns today - :-O

I do. Breath of fresh air after Tim Nice-but-rubbish.
Who cares if he moans and whinges and doesn't fit into the nicey nicey pims and losing wimbers mindset? He wins. Much better IMHO.
his mouth is too square.
Looking forward to Federer v Murray.
Won't have had so much fun since Argentina 78.

The only difference if that happens being a Scot will have made the final...
yeah don't think that was ever in doubt ferrero is no grass court player despite apparently being world number 1 some years back.
people speak of murray being best returner in the game but fed looked every bit as good today, i thought the lanky czech would rattle him at times but just looked rather amateur if his serve was returned.
roddick or hewitt should prove a good match for murray but you'd expect him to win if he gets first set.
that should leave fed in the final who you would have expected to have a good match against djokovic in the semi but djokovic ****ed it and haas has really run his course in this tournament. But you'd be a brave man to bet on murray when federer is on the brink of history
LOL @ trailmonkey (again!)
