Andy can take heart in the fact that there will definitely be no tie-break in this set

That was amazing. It really was.
What did Fed get mad about? The line call BG is saying?
I can't believe Fed rallied! That match was dead, done, in the fucking bag.

What did Fed get mad about? The line call BG is saying? I have no idea? Why would he yell something at Murray, if anything it's Roger's shots that were landing on the line there and Murray couldn't challenge anyway?

Ben Rothenberg @benrothenberg Would love to know what it was Federer said to Murray when the two were at the net at 6-5, 15-0. Totally changed momentum here. #ausopen

I do think it's still the Nole era but Murray looks awfully good out there. Oh absolutely. I put him right behind Nole - ahead of Roger & Rafa at this point in terms of current era standings.

Muzza has cruised so far and this match, in the evening heat, is not really a marathon grind-fest. If Murray can win this in 5. IF... I don't think it will necessarily be a bad thing going into the final. Mentally he'd have won two five setters against two GOATS in his past two Slams. I think that could count for something.
