What a set from Fed...he is having to play genious shots after genious shots and does just that.

Again Murray's FH falling apart under pressure. 4 FH UEs in that TB!!!!!!

Oh la la la, still too hot Murray´s head, not great volleyer. Fed plays at 80% and still enough open - Australian Open 2013: Matches of the day : Day 12 25-Jan-2013 - Page 3 3157886161

But also many second serves, but frankly Fed is not doing enough with Murrays second serve.

Federers 1-2 combination when he serves from deuce court is quite effective, as Murrays' FH on the run isn't his best shot. Fed doesn't have that advantage against Djoko.

by Tenez Fri Jan 25, 2013 10:46 am

I agree about Federer not doing enough on Andy's 2nd serve. He tried right at the beginning of the 3rd but missed by very little.

Murray was stiffened, I think that should have been played as a winner.

I am not sure if Fed plays so passive only due to his back´s problem or if he intentionally lets Murray to play, who often struggles to play winners (include his first wide serve). Is it only due to saving his back or to disrupt Murray? I think a bit of both will be truth.

by noleisthebest Fri Jan 25, 2013 10:47 am

Fed beating Murray at his own game now, call it the strangling phase of the match, Murray's legs showing sings of tiring.

Terrible and sloppy game from Federer, hope it doesn't cost him. Should've challanged that serve, not got all wound up because of Mollina.

One little slip of concentration and focus, and 2nd set gifted to Murray. Unbelievable!

by legendkillar Fri Jan 25, 2013 11:07 am

I have to say after the TB I was flat, twitchy and miserable.

Even with Murray taking the 3rd set I have no idea where that came from. Live feeds and comments alike here and elsewhere clearly indicated the momentum was with Feds and Murray was faltering.

Bizarre. I have expected Feds to march on from there.

The way he lost this set is very dissapointing: Murray didn't have to much for it. The level of this match has dropped significantly the last 15 minutes.

I really think that Murray is a tougher opponent than Djoko for Federer...at the begenning but then Murray's level and fitness so essential to his game drops and his mind goes with it (A link posters do not want to see usually) but as the match goes on Djoko stays the same, he plays teh 5th like the first and that puts huge pressure on all his opponents.

Yes Djoko is better built for the long distance...but not as good on faster surfaces with shorter rallies.

Not quite like that. It's like a 400 sprint, it seems like the one who wins is accelerating the last 50 meters, but he's not: the other are slowing down more. Nole knows that, which is why he likes to be in that position

Just going by the length of the match, just illustrates how Murray sucks the tempo out of the match. Just looking at the Tsonga/Federer match proves who the riskier players are.
