Federer V. Cilic

[Eve]

Spoilers if not watching the match live.

[Eve]

Phew! This is going to be a fight!

Re the guy (George) with the £50,000 bet. My guess is that if he has the £50,000, he doesn't really need the £162,000. He doubtless has money as the story says he has travelled the globe following Federer from tournament to tournament.

I was thinking of the six line judges plus four at the side ie base lines and serve lines either side plus the umpire?

break point x 3 FEDERER

[Eve]

Whoops! Federer doesn't look quite as calm as usual. Break point though!

[murraymints]

can't see any base judges ?

[murraymints]

yessss..Fed breaks ! 3 2 going in to serve

[Eve]

Yes!!!!!!!!! Go Federer!

That sounds about right about, I forget just how many there are out there officiating!

I hope so Ken! Lucky man to be able to do that. Seems a lot of speculating for not a huge amount of accumulating. I'm not really good with betting though.

[murraymints]

4 / 2 Fed

[Ken4155]

You have the 'Chair Umpire' and up to 9 line judges = 10. The match referee does not actually officiate until called upon to settle a dispute or suspend play owing to bad light or inclement weather.

[murraymints]

his twins not there today, usually they come into box for first 10 mins or so ?

[Eve]

Ooooh, could he break Cilic again?

[murraymints]

4 / 3 Fed new balls...

[murraymints]

new shirt already ?

[Eve]

Ahh, thanks Ken. I haven't spotted the twins. Nice to see Will and Kate there.

[Eve]

Hotted up maybe. Gone from dull and raining here this morning to pretty warm and sunny this afternoon.

[Eve]

24 degrees there apparently so not too hot.

[murraymints]

break for first set !!!

[Eve]

Wow, beautiful shot, set point on a break too! Come on Roger!

[murraymints]

nooooo...
