Federer 2 sets down but we all know he'll turn it around don't we?

Ye, he has won one now so will most likely end up winning it in the 5th set. Would love for him to go out now though!

Federer has missed his chance there to break back, could be curtains for him now!!!

Or maybe not!!!

He lives on!!!

There'll be some people that have gambled massive sums on Federer to win the match and probably also to win the tournament who's underpants have been furiously chewing their undies.

To be honest though he'd be gone if he did this any other time in the tournament except in the 1st round

Laura Robson really looks like she could do some damage in a few years time if she carrys on as she is, very impressed

Brilliant from all the brits again, what a joke they all are blaming it on nerves.

Farcical cut all their funding

Has Murray lost yet?

To be fair, if they are playing players who are ranked higher than them (and some ranked an awful lot higher than them) then its not really a surprise is it?

Baltacha was serving for the match, Keothavong was 4-0 up in the final set. They are doing themselves no favours

Longest Grand Slam match ever taking place on court 18. 32-32 in the 5th set after 6 hours and 34 minutes

Now it's 40-40 this could go on forever.

this is ridiculous 48 all now.....

100th game of the 5th set under way. Incredible effort from both players

Such a shame either of them have to lose it really!

Im sorry but

Normally I'd agree. But this is fascinating now.

I am trying to "enjoy" it but boredom is setting in

It would be more enthralling if they were actually challenging each others service games but they have pretty much just plodded along

Thats what I think, they are obviously both shattered so its their poor play thats carrying it on this long not their good play

Tennis is still a class game in this country.

How many schools have tennis courts? And of that number, how many are state-funded?

How many LTA scouts tour these schools, actually looking for talent?

Until we start to encourage the game at grass roots, state-funded, primary school level, then all we'll have to look forward to is a procession of more over-privileged kids, turning out because mummy is in the audience.

How this abject class-ridden shoite can take precedence over RL is totally beyond me.

The game tonight was pretty much tennis at its best..

59-59 finish due to poor light.

One game has pretty much blown anything World Cup 2010 out of the water.

It's not a competitive sport, it's a social sport in this country. For the next few days, articles will be written, questions asked of the LTA...and then will be forgotten about until this time next year when the cycle happens again.

Golf isn't taught in schools, nor is it especially 'open' yet, as a nation/islands we can compete at the top level with the rest of the world. Why is tennis so different?

Inverdale is a grade A prick. That is all
