Not really. He just didn't want to sprint off and waste energy. Nor did Federer.

Murray has to be aggressive and go for it if he's going to win.

Federer was off and walking to the changing rooms by the time they were pulling the covers across. They had to stop for Murray as he hadn't even reached his bag.

I wonder if having the roof closed will give either of them an advantage. Not being a big tennis fan I have no idea if it will or not.

The pundits seem to think it will slightly favour Federer. I reckon Murray is more in need of a break and a chat with his coach though so I reckon it favours Murray more.

He's been doing that for the first two sets.

Worse than Nadal always picking his arse between points?

Indeed, but it had dropped off a bit.

Seems to have lost some of the intensity since they came back out, Murray needs to make it a battle again.

Federer is going after Murray's second serve a lot. Murray's in trouble here.

Can't see Murray having the nous to carry this off. If Federer wins the third I don't think Murray will be able to respond.

Errors creeping in to Murray's game now and he's mentally losing it.

This set is vital, really can't see Murray coming from 2-1 down.
