Lots of bad, uncharacteristic misses there by Federer in that opening set. Murray definitely needed that first set, keeps the crowd going with him.

Canada's Filip Peliwo won the Wimbledon boys title today: 7-5, 6-4. Impressive stuff!

Canada won the boys and girls as Eugenie Bouchard won that title yesterday.

The future of Canadian tennis looks solid. Great to see.

Roger pulls back. This is going to be a good match!

The atmostphere with a closed roof would be so intense.

Roger looks tired and as a result a bit sloppy. The amount of unforced errors he's hit is surprising. Murray is playing well, maybe as well as he's capable of playing. Unfortunately watching this on the BBC you'd think that Murray's already got this in the bag. The level of partizanship is startling. Becker is the only one in the commentary box/studio that has any circumspection.

This is why nobody cheers for Brits.

Why don't they mention on the BBC that they're purposely keeping the roof open because Murray would get destroyed by Indoorer?

Roger seemed to be taking control when the delay came, so it'll be interesting to see how he comes back out.

Great play from Murray so far. You can tell the crowd are tense as hell - probably Murray's history plays into that.

Murray doesn't seem to remember how fragile he is though - looking very good in spite of a demoralizing end to the second set.

I just hope the quality of play keeps up.

Wow what an absolutely incredible game. Don't want to say that's it for Murray but that has to be so demoralizing.

That game might be demoralizing for Murray.

Federer has taken it to that other level I'm not sure Murray has. Crowd's gonna have to energize Andy.
