OK, I've started a thread so it's easy to find and I don't monopolise the café. Champagne and Strawberries available of course.
Federer and Haas are playing - it's a tie break in the first set and Federer is leading 5 - 3 after Haas mis-hit a ball.

Games are going with serve in the 2nd set. Both men are playing well, lots of good rallies, but Haas just can't seem to break Federer's serve.

In the ladies doubles it's deuce at 5 - 1 Huber serving to save the match.
Black and Huber have held serve so the Williams sisters now lead 5 - 2 in the second set and by 1 set 0.
The slimmer sister (Serena?) is serving, it's 40 - 15.

4 games all, but it was more difficult for Haas to hold his serve. Haas has only won 1 point on the Federer serve. OK make that 2, it's 0 - 15 .....

Still no breaks of serve. It could be another tie-breaker in the second set if this continues.

Haas is playing really well. It's just that Federer is playing better. You've got to feel sorry for Haas, he knows he's playing better than he has for years, but Federer is just playing brilliantly. So far the games in the 3rd set are going with serve.
Haas has just won his serve to 30. It's 2 games all in the third set.
Federer held his serve to 30. 3 games to 2.
Haas held his serve to 15 and that included a double fault. 3 games all.

That's it - Federer has served out the match. He's through to the final on Sunday where he will meet Andy Murray (go Murray) or Andy Roddick.

30 - 30 first game. Roddick serving
Roddick won - served 3 aces! It's boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Posted 2 years ago by Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 #

It's deuce in the second game. There go the fingernails.
Game Murray.

0 - 15, 15 - 15, 30 - 15, (Murray has put the last two balls over the baseline - not like him), 40 - 15, 40 - 30, game Roddick.
Roddick is serving at 143 miles an hour. 50% of Roddick's serves have not been returned so far in the tournament BUT Murray has returned 74% of the serves he's received. The fastest server in the tournament is up against the best returner in the the tournament. Very interesting.

Murray is not getting enough first serves in, but he's still holding serve well. Roddick is getting most of his points from aces and Murray's mistakes.
Roddick serving again 0 - 15, 15 - 15, 30 - 15, 40 - 15, game Roddick.
3 games 2Murray serving: 15 - 0, 15 - 15, 30 - 15, 40 - 15, 40 - 30 (unusually good return from Roddick), game Murray - superb volley from Murray. 3 all.
Roddick serving: 15 - 0, 15 - 15, 30 - 15, 30 - 30, 40 - 30, game Roddick.
Roddick seems to be getting a bit unsettled.

Murray serving with new balls: 15 - 0, 15 - 15, 30 - 15, 40 - 15, 40 - 30 Murray put it into the net, game Murray. 4 games all.
I'm taking a break now
Back later.

OK, so Murray dropped the first set, but then immediately broke Roddick's serve (first game in the 2nd set) and he now leads 3 - 2 in the second and is about to serve.
I have just started on my toenails - fingernails completely gone. I can't soothe myself with white wine, I have to drive to choir practice later.

Murray is now leading 4 - 2. He is getting his first serves in now. If he can get his racquet onto Roddick's serve he can out play him, but Roddick just served 3 aces and one very good serve.
Murray leads 4 - 3.
15 - 0, 30 - 0 Bad miss hit by Murray 30 - 15, 40 - 15, 40 - 30, deuce, Murray currently playing like a plonker, advantage Murray, game Murray. Whew!
Murray leads 5 - 3.
Roddick serving to stay in the set: 15 - 0 (ace), 30 - 0 (Unreturnable), 40 - 0, game Roddick (ace). Roddick is serving 82% 1st serves in.
Murray serving for 2nd set: 15 - 0, 30 - 0, 30 - 15, 40 - 15, (starting on toenails of left foot now) game ans 2nd set Murray 6 - 4. One set all.
There are 3000 people watching the match on "Henman Hill", 4000 are watching on court no. 2 plus all the people actually on Centre Court.
