How does Fed have no challenges left? I haven't seen him challenge any

At least two in the last two games, obviously got it wrong. I think Fed must be the worst at challenging.

That challenge was a nightmare. I think Berdych missed the volley, so if Roger hadn't challenged he would have won the point.

I have the TV on mute, did the chair ump say he could see the serve was in even though the challenge system didn't work?

Anyways hell of a game there from Roger to break.

I think the haweye worked but they could not display the result on screens. Umpire should have get confirmation that the challenge was unsuccessful. It has already happenned in the past.

Apparently no one is paying close attention. Berd's volley was not out so Fed wouldn't have won the point if he hadn't challenged. It's not that the challenge system was broken. The part of the software that displays the call on the big screen was broken, but not the part that actually captures the data. In those instances, word is given to umpire from the technicians on the status of that call even though they can't display it on the main screen.

Fed seems pretty irritable... he's chanelling it well right now, but I want to see this set in the bag because sometimes he lets it infest (USO 09 final vs Delpo, as an example).

Man two set points and then letting it go in the tie break. Disappointing.

I'm not happy about the behaviour of the crowd. A bit unfair to Tomas there
