Janowicz is a great heel.
Muzza fighting against all the odds here, what a player. Hope the roof closing doesn't affect his game too much.
True but they would have to close it during the next set, closing it during the set it much more difficult for the players.
I think they clearly had a timetable to let the match finish because they close the roof, you should give the player in the ascendancy the chance to finish the game off because closing the roof.....there's no way any player other than Federer would not be annoyed as hell in the same situation as Murray
But there's no way he'd be able to finish the match as there's not enough time left before it's too dark to play. Getting to 2-1 or 3-2 in the set makes it much harder for the next player to serve, at least if you do it at the beginning of the set everyone starts on the same footing.
The umpire said 9.15 to Janowicz.
That gave them 40 odd minutes. More than enough time.
Henman reckoned there was only 15 minutes left or so, but even if the umpire said 9:15, that's only 35 minutes (finished at about 20 to 9) which wouldnt be enough time.
I reckon by 9 it's getting too dark for tennis, especially at the speed the tennis ball flies around.
If the match kept going the way it was with all the momentum on Murray and Janowicz out of it mentally, I'd say it would have been a comfortable 6-2 25 minute set.
I guess we'll never know.
