what do you want fed backers to say? one bad call in a match he is going to sweep
you are saying fed would have lost if not for one call?

some of you guys just crack me up, you're saying how great roger is playing, yada yada yada
yet you were some of the same guys who wanted to bury him even though his body was still warm
i told you that the losses to simon, karlovic, and blake, all in august, did not mean shit
i told you he wasn't dead

are you kidding me? when he lost to simon and then karlovic in back to back tourneys in august, many ppl here were burying him!
i was on the front lines defending roger saying he still had something left, i also said not to anoint nadal as us open and aussie open fave, he's not there yet
too many ppl to name were blasting me, calling me a fed lover and saying i needed to give it up
i told them they were wrong, they will say he got the easy draw, i say hogwash!

ryan, murray was 2-1 against fed coming into this match, but this venue with what was on the line was way too big for andy to deal with
many many many ppl thought that becoz djoko beat fed in aussie semis then nadal beat him in the french and wimbledon final, that fed was done
they were wrong

Hell at least in the old days when the linesman stole your game you weren't absolutely sure, why would they give Roger that game when they were absolutely sure he had lost it, why even have the system in place then? Just to show you how bad you are getting cheated?
So just how much did you lose on Murray?

Federer was awesome.
Murray didn't do much wrong - indeed he had some nice moments against the Fed serve. However, here's the key thing from his point if view. Against Nadal, 22ish aces. Today, 3.
You can't hope to go up against an on form Federer serving like that.

This match is split 1-1, Murray prolly goes on to take it, linesman robs him on breakpoint and gives Fed the set and suddenly everyone claims easy money. Be like if I grounded out to the shortstop and ump called it a grand slam and I bragged about what easy money it was, fukin joke

a groundout called a grand slam?? not even close....Murray probably takes it?? So Murray is so mentally lame that one call cost him the entire match?? This was not the entire match in one point..

lol. thats funny as hell. You making excuses. If not for one bad call, Murray wins this match?
Are you one of those guys that can never give credit and always has to find an excuse instead of looking at what is staring them right in the face? Murray didnt stand a chance today. You can go sooth your soul with that bullshit your slinging, but no one here is buying it.
You're living up to your screenname.

Listen nitwits who won only b/c of cheating, how many breakpoints are you going to win against Roger Federer 10, 20, 50? Hell know you'll be lucky to break him 2-3 times in a match, so if they steal one of those breaks they just changed the entire outcome of the match, nitwits who take -200 don't realize how close they were (and in reality they actually were a split sets) from a 1-1 tie and Murray's got all the momentum, you give the 2nd set to Fed instead and the match is over, no one can come back from 2 sets down to a top 5 player, can you guys even spell tennis, do you spell it TENASS

Bet, do you notice you're the only one saying this sh!t? I'm sure you weren't the only one who took Murray, but I don't see the others agreeing with you right now. They know who won the match, bad call or no bad call. That simple. So you can dwell in your what if's and conspiracy theories, but I'm gonna go enjoy the rest of the night.
Well done, Pete. Fed all the way to the bank.

Anyone who took Murray at +170 or whatever, should have waited to try to get +500 (the true price for this match).
If the fair odds were +-500, you should have risked 50% of your bankroll on Federer at -200.

I am exaggerating a bit here obviously....but certainly FED deserved to be a bigger favorite against AM. I had it pegged at -250 personally, but I felt the situation was very strong for RF and AM (not getting the extra day rest) was at a major disadvantage going against a highly motivated player who happens to be more talented than him. Under normal circumstances I would have hedged the +300 with Murray, but I felt this was something of a mismatch.

Yeah, I am sure FED backers/fans were sweating that match out. RF only won 10 more games than AM did. Good call there BLM

Guess you don't have to sweat much when the linesman have been paid off so everytime you break Fed and win the set, they give the set to Fed, nice call BB , everyone's a postgame genius, odds should've been -1000000 Federer imo

1) First of all, take a look at what I said before the match.
2) I am sorry you went broke, but that's your fault.
3) Yes, that was a horrible call. However, Murray had every right to challenge it and should have done so. Murray deserves every bit of blame as well. Those are humans who have to make those decisions, therefore, you have to expect from time to time they are going to make errors. This one was unfortunate for AM. Still, it's a stretch to believe AM would have won the match even if that call was properly called. Federer was just too good today. He had probably his best game of the tournament. I feel for you, but you are making a fool of yourself if you believe this match was "fixed."

it was shown that players challenging calls hit 32% of them at the us open this yr, thats 68% the players challenge was WRONG out of roughly 500 calls
if the players miss that many calls when they are so close to the ball, imagine how tough it is for linespeople who are several feet behind and to the side of the players?
the linesperson did not miss the call on purpose
ANDY GOT HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM BY THE CO-GREATEST PLAYER EVER (Sampras is the other greatest player ever)
LET IT GO

Why don't you just say BLM99 that you totally read this match wrong and that you placed too much emphasis on the Murray/Nadal match in your handicapping of this match. There is no shame in doing that. In fact, I think a lot of guys on here would develop a new found respect for you if you did that.
Hell, I took FED in the French Open this year. Nobody cares if you are wrong. Just don't try to make it sound like events beyond your control determined the outcome.

Except for the 2nd set which he won, guess that's not considered controlling the set to you, guess losing the set and having the linesman give you breakpoints is considered controlling it
