Break point for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed does get the break, 4-3 he leads. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Becker serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Old Man Feed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific from Fed, Stepanek breaks back. :lol:

Djokovic does eventually take the first set 6-3.

Berdych beat Kohlschreiber 7-5 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed flukes first point of the second set. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous shot down the line from Nole. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed fluked another at the net but put a passing backhand down the line to save break point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed digs it out and leads 3-2 in the second set. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's raining, in Dubai. Er WTF? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Play resumes. 0-30 on Nole's serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Old Man Feed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two remaining. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least return it in to court, Fed!

One remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amazing backhand down the line from the Old Man to break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza - Dimitrov tomorrow morning, from 4am in Acapulco. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych takes the first set 6-3.

Fed. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Line judges are drunk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Berdych, he breaks again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Fed, come on you idiot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Old Man holds on, Berdych serving to stay in it.

Poor from Berdych from a fairly central second serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great return. 0-15. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point for Federer!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was saved.

Has a second Championship point now though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In to the net again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Berdych holds on, Fed to serve it out. Eek.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two more Championship points for Feed. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer wins 3-6 6-4 6-3 against Berdych to win the Dubai 500! He wins his first title since June, his sixth title in Dubai and his 78th overall to finally go ahead of McEnroe.

:bow: :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BabyFed beat Anderson 7-6 (7-1) 3-6 7-6 (7-5) to win in Acapulco! Well done to him on his biggest tournament win thus far.

His dad will be proud.

Sugarpova too, maybe. Although he has been hanging around with Bouchard so maybe not. :whistle:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Indian Wells 2014 starts this weekend.

:popcorn:

Nadal, Wawrinka, Muzza and Fed all on the same side of the draw. :haha:

It'd be a Nadal - Muzza QF, Fed Wawrinka QF too.

Berdych in with Djokovic. Berdych would have Gasquet as QF opponent, Djokovic would have Del Potro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal has the winner of Stepanek and Istomin, Djokovic has the winner of Hanescu and a Qualifier.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza would have Raonic or Janowicz as a fourth round opponent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://i62.tinypic.com/r9hds6.png

California times listed above so add seven hours for the correct time over here.

Sky's coverage on SS3 starts at 8pm, BT Sports 2 has the WTA side starts at 7pm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Muzza - Rosol is on soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal

:rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks straight back.

Rosol you are a headcase.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosol breaks again and will now serve for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Rosol!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great shot up the line from Rosol and he takes the first set 6-4! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza takes the second set 6-3 though so I think he has sorted his life out now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza should win fairly comfortably now. Rosol just wants to knock the cover off the ball every single point.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza knocks out Rosol 4-6 6-3 6-2.

Andujar or Vesely next for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mathieu vs Old Man Feed on next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed without really doing anything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great backhand up the line there though.

Fed breaks and leads 1-0 in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two more break points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The new racquet is definitely helping Fed to stay in rallies for longer.

He breaks and will serve for the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the first set 6-2. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed's second serve is leaping off the court. :lol:

2-2 in the second set, Mathieu to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Fed after Mathieu had a period of going mental with winners.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crosscourt winner for Fed allows him to take the break and lead 4-3 in the second set.

Edberg nodding and grinning. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mathieu serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Fed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. Wouldn't be a Fed match these days if he didn't fail on the first match point he gets. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mathieu holds on, Fed to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break point for Mathieu. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ace for deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mathieu breaks back, 5-5.

Fed. :doh:

Brainfart City.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tiebreak time now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a forehand running out wide from Fed. :lol:

Still down a mini-break at 2-1 though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mathieu goes for the Mayer two handed backhand. 3-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mathieu double faults, 3-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed can serve it out, 5-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Feed again, Mathieu to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed wins 6-2 7-6 (7-5). Bit of a balls up from Fed at the end of the second set but all sorted out in the end. :bow:

Tursunov next for him.

Stan playing Karlovic at the moment which I am sure he is loving.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic beat Hanescu 7-6 (7-1) 6-2.

Batista Agut dumped out Berdych 4-6 6-2 6-4. :doh:

http://i61.tinypic.com/vp9dtv.png

Muzza's match should be on SS3 not long after 6pm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza was up a double break on Vesely, Vesely got one of the breaks back though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double fault from Murray.

Break point for Vesely with Muzza serving for the first set.

Has to be said, Murray has looked quite ropey since coming back from surgery.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vesely breaks back! 5-5.

Oh dear.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lahyani somehow misses Vesely putting his racquet over the net to play a shot, not that it matters. Muzza is awful currently, like Federer at Rotterdam last year level.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza now stops a shot going wide and hits the net. :lol:

Four set points for Vesely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vesely takes the first set 7-6 (7-2)!

Andy Murray, what the hell was that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed on the main court soon. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Vesely. :lol:

Just retire Muzza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wayward forehand. Vesely breaks on the second of them. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks back, 3-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed breaks and leads 1-0 in the first set! Tursunov whacking everything wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vesely breaks again and leads 4-3 in the second set! Murray. :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

QED.

Maccy, you are a legend. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Backhand down the line from Fed. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

QED.

Maccy, you are a legend. :bow:

Thanks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza breaks back again, 4-4. Wonder if he can sort his life out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just stunning from Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza takes the second set 6-4!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tursunov serving to stay in the first set.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he does so. The Old Man to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points for Tursunov. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Tursunov breaks back on the second of them, 5-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break time for Fed and Tursunov.

Murray is down a break again, though par for the course in that match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed with the minibreak and can serve it out, 5-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-5. Fed. :doh:

Routine rally point goes long.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Set point for Feed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous reflexes from Tursunov at the net. 6-6.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tursunov double faults, set point for Fed. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

7-7. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great dropshot from Fed. Set point again, Tursunov to serve this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed nails a crosscourt passing shot to take the first set 7-6 (9-7)! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Murray gets given the break back, 4-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vesely saves match point. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza does win 6-7 (2-7) 6-4 6-4 though!

Raonic or Falla next for him.

Petchey giving this match the BLitW treatment. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tursunov serving to stay in the match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tie-break time again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed at the net. :bow:

3-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-5. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four match points for Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer wins 7-6 (9-7) 7-6 (7-2). :bow:

Haas or Nishikori next for him.

[IBK]

Do you think that Muzza is spent, having done Wimbledon - and may not be able to sustain the intensity required for another grand slam?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It could be that he set out all he wanted to achieve and is finding it hard to create another goal in his mind away from Wimbledon but I think this is a physical issue, post surgery and would be a physical reason as to why he can't grasp any intensity back. For guys like Murray and Djokovic, if they lose even a small amount of their physical ability around court it's going to affect their game greatly. In the case of a back injury, when you need corrective surgery for it, it's only going to make a big negative impact in lieu of that court ability.

Murray could be right in what was stated and that it was going to take 6 months for him to get it right but I'm not so sure he is going to reach the level he worked very hard to achieve - I don't think he's going to be able to work that hard again.

Dolgopolov took the first set against Nadal 6-3. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dolgopolov took the first set against Nadal 6-3. :blink:
