The least said, the better.
That was the most boring tennis match in history. I actually thought I was going to die before it ended. Nevertheless, I watched it for the full four hours and forever minutes. I started off supporting the ROD for the perfectly rational reason that the FED's clothes make him look like an arch-tit mockery monkey, but by halfway through the final set I was desperate for someone, ANYONE to win, just PLEASE GOD MAKE IT SOON. And yet I didn't switch off. Sport moves in mysterious ways.

Have to agree, truly painful - but like you I watched to the bitter end.
Oh yes - like you I just wanted it TO END. I was almost as wrung out as the players by then. But in retrospect, I feel that the tough match showed Murray in a good light in that Roddick was proved to be a tough opponent, even for Federer. Roll on next year (but not too soon, eh?)
Was it not even a bit exciting? I managed to miss it all because I was at a party (for which reason I was rather grateful Murray hadn't won on Friday. Can you imagine the poor hosts having to gracefully smile while their guests just piled round the tv?). Couldn't even find a repeat last night. Grr.
It did get exciting after when Roddick blew the second set tie break, but by the end of the fifth it was zombie tennis. It was like watching a three-hour DVD on how to serve.
Oh ok. So now rallies then? Right. Glad I missed it in that case!
