4-3 down and back with serve. If Laura can just hold he serve Kvitova is there for the taking. Come on girl

 

[darlowolf64]

Robson breaks to lead 6-5 and will serve for the match after being 0-3 down in the final set! What heart and fight

 

[Sniffer]

Now 7-7

 

[darlowolf64]

Robson breaks to lead 10-9....

 

[darlowolf64]

and Laura holds to love to win 11-9 in the third set!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Tremendous stuff.

Barring injury she should make top 20-30 this year.

 

[Sniffer]

Thats three Brits into round 3 of a major. I wander when the last time that happened.

Well done Laura against a former Wimbledon champion.

 

[Langers]

Brilliant - well done Laura!!

 

[Lord Knows]

Going back to the days of Wade and Barker.

 

[darlowolf64]

Yep. Thirty years plus since two women have made the third round of a major

 

[Langers]

Murray is absolutely flying in the first set of his semi against Federer. Playing some superb stuff.

 

[Langers]

2 set points for Murray who really hasn't had to get out of 1st gear yet. He's looked VERY comfortable.

And he takes the first set - great stuff, Andy!

 

[darlowolf64]

Wins the first set 6-4 with 5 aces to Federers none. He's looking very strong and powerful. Still yet to drop a set in the Tournament

 

[lemonjelly]

WTF is going on with Federers laces? :facepalm:

 

[lemonjelly]

Murray will not win this one in straight sets.
Murray was just 30-0 up on Federers serve. Federer played a really good game to hold serve.
This will go to 5 sets imo.

 

[Langers]

Yeah, I can't see Federer not winning a set either.

 

[lemonjelly]

Very cat & mouse this. Murray is serving very well. Federer is holding serve very well, putting the pressure onto Murray.
Murray cannot afford to drop serve.

 

[lemonjelly]

That was an impressive hold by federer.

 

[lemonjelly]

Federer is stepping up a gear imo. That game to take a 6-5 lead in the 2nd was brilliant.

 

[Jolemai]

That was an impressive hold by federer.
