Description: The SparkFun GPS Logger Shield equips your Arduino with access to a GPS module, µSD memory card socket, and all of the other peripherals you'll need to turn your Arduino into a position-tracking, speed-monitoring, altitude-observing wonder logger. The shield is based around a GP3906-TLP GPS Module – a 66-channel GPS receiver featuring a MediaTek MT3339 architecture and up to a 10Hz update rate. The GPS module will stream constant position updates over a simple TTL-level serial port, which you can then log to a µSD card and/or use for other purposes.
Everything on the shield is highly configurable: A switch allows you to select the GPS module's UART interface between either hardware or software ports, the µSD card operates over a hardware SPI port, which should be compatible with most Arduino layouts, and extra prototyping space should allow you to add those last, few components you need to complete your project. The GPS Logger Shield's main voltage supply is taken from the Arduino 5V header pin. This voltage is regulated down to 3.3V, which is supplied to both the GPS module and the µSD card. These two components should consume, about 30mA on average, but they may very occasionally spike to around 100mA. We also highly recommend a 12mm Coin Cell Battery, which fits into the GPS Shield's battery holder.
Note: The shield does not come with headers installed; we recommend the Arduino Stackable Header Kit.
Why not pick a GPS module that has external antenna input with a uFL connector? Limits your application possibilities to just use the module's antenna.
Is there an arduino board this is supposed to fit snugly on? On my uno R3 it gets blocked by the USB port, and on my redboard by the power port. I have extra tall headers so its not a big problem, just seems like it should be able to sit snugly
I'm stepping my game with arduinos and now I am looking to 3,3V arduino. Unfortunately, I found that most of the shields (like this one) use 5V as main. Is there any tutorial to hack this shields to be fed with 3,3V?
This shield is made to be compatible with most 3.3V or 5V Arduinos - I bet yours'll work. The board takes its power in from what is usually the Arduino's 5V pin. But even if your Arduino has 3.3V there, that should still be enough to feed the 3.3V LDO regulator on-board.
You'll also need to make sure the IOREF pin is tied to 3.3V as well. Or, if your Arduino doesn't have an IOREF pin, you can set the IOREF jumper to 3.3V on the shield. There's more info in this section of the hookup guide.
Thanks for the replay. Actually I'm working with a Redboard and looking to 3.3V arduino pro since the majority of the sensors that I'm working with are 3.3V.

Yet Another Historic Win For Federer
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of the Wimbledon final between Roger Federer, who would become the world's No. 1 player again with a win today, and Andy Murray, who would become the first British man to win Wimbledon since 1936. Carl Bialik offers courtside commentary from The All England Club.
The dilemma faced by Andy Murray, as he prepares to face Roger Federer in today's Wimbledon men's final, is which set of Saturday newspaper headlines better describe his situation.
Murray, the first British man in the Wimbledon singles final since Bunny Austin in 1938, was on nearly every front page around the U.K., generally in the celebratory pose he struck after winning his semifinal match Friday, pointing two fingers in the air. Most of the headlines celebrated what he'd already achieved, with a few using the word "finally," some succumbing to the tired phrase, "Great Scot," and one calling him "our Wimbledon hero." But the Daily Mail cut right to the big question: "Now can he finish the job?" Austin couldn't, winning just four games in that 1938 final against American Don Budge — for which Austin won a 10-pound jewelry voucher — and later becoming estranged from the All England Club. Murray has done better in his three prior major finals — two against Federer — but not by much, failing to win a set in each. Murray's coach, Ivan Lendl, lost his first three Grand Slam finals, too, and then was straight-setted in his fourth major final before finally breaking through.
The U.K. has gone a bit ga-ga already for Murray, even though he remains one match from finishing the job and is the underdog by about two-to-one in the final. In his press conference after beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the semifinals, Murray was asked what he was doing 74 years ago, then told by a reporter that the reporter had just received a call from the late Bunny Austin. Murray deflected the inanity, drolly replying, "He's not alive, though. I don't understand." Tickets for the final were being resold for prices starting above 2,000 pounds ($3,100). Amid the mania, Murray insisted he was focused on the task at hand. "I need to make sure I enjoy tonight, and then tomorrow get back on the practice court and, you know, make sure I hit enough balls tomorrow and get focused for Sunday," Murray said.
He did hit the practice court on Saturday — and got rained off of it. The rain came back later Saturday night and could continue today. This could mean the roof will be closed for a Wimbledon singles final for the first time, a condition that should favor Federer, who has won the last five indoor tournaments he's entered and who upset top-ranked Novak Djokovic under the Centre Court roof in the semifinal.
A Murray win would solidify his place in the tennis elite and end the haunting effect 1936 has on this tournament and its British male contestants each year. Federer, after toppling Djokovic, has his own motivations. A win would be his seventh at Wimbledon in eight finals. It would add to his record total of 16 major titles, where he's been stuck since the Australian Open in 2010. And it would restore him to No. 1, plus keep him there long enough to break Pete Sampras's record for the most weeks spent at No. 1. "Now I have a chance at world No. 1, at the title again all at once," Federer said. "So it's a big match for me, and I hope I can keep my nerves. I'm sure I can."
Forgive Federer for feeling nerves — even Serena Williams, a fellow 30-year-old, copped to anxiety during her final Saturday. But it is Murray who will have to thrive, not crumble, with the pressure of all the nation's tennis fans, and front pages, urging him to victory.
Federer talked trash before his prior major meeting with Murray, plus many other times: "I don't feel like the pressure's really on me having to do it again, because I've done it before. I think he really needs it more than I do. I think the pressure's big on him. We'll see how he's going to handle it. It's not going to be easy for him, that's for sure." But the six-time champ was much kinder this time: "I think this is what is so particular here in this country is that there's so much attention on that one player, which is Andy Murray. Let's be happy that he's such a great player that he lets that sort of hype last, because he always remains in the tournament for so long. I think that's what's particular about it. He's only going to get better as time goes by. That's what he's been proving. It's going to be interesting to see if he's going to make it to the finals. I'd love it, you know. Yeah, so I think he's actually handled it very well from what I've seen from afar."
It's a credit to how successful British men used to be at this event that a Murray win would bring Britain into a tie for most men's singles titles at Wimbledon at 33 with its former colony, the U.S. Former British penal colony Australia is third with 21. When I say "used to be," I mean a really long time ago. Fred Perry won three titles in the 1930s, and Bunny Austin bookended those titles with two runners-up finishes, but that's about it since then. I hope the local fans knew how good they had it. How good was 1936 Wimbledon for Britain? Its players won men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles and mixed doubles.
One positive change in Murray's game has been his sense of urgency, not only to finish off a match before a deadline but also to finish off points when he has the chance. And one sign of that is that he doesn't place anywhere in the top 10 in the longest-rally category. In the past, Murray often was content to trade lots of baseline rallies. Three of the four longest rallies here involved second-round loser Gilles Simon, who demanded extra pay for hitting the ball so many extra times per point. (Kidding.)
This morning, ticket prices on resale sites ranged from a little over 2,000 pounds to nearly 8,000 pounds (a pound is about $1.55 these days). The face value of the tickets is between 26 pounds and 120 pounds. Only certain tickets, by the way, are legal for resale, fueling an odd bond-investment market at the tournament. Some touts were offering tickets along the walk between the Southfields tube station and the tournament. I asked one what the price was, and he said just 1,000 pounds. A veritable bargain — maybe he's a Djokovic fan. Or maybe it's a fake ticket.
Federer is about a two-to-one favorite at the sports books, but The Wall Street Journal's Wimbledon Tracker, with data provided by tennis-stats guru Jeff Sackmann, gives Murray a 50.2% chance to win the final, even though Federer scores higher in the dominance factor — the ratio of return points won to service points lost.
If you're joining the tournament in time for the blockbuster final and can't keep Roger Murray and Andy Federer straight in your mind, here are our live blogs of Federer's and Murray's semifinal wins, plus Tom Perrotta's preview of the final.
For Murray, the good omen is the doubles win yesterday by Liverpool native Jonathan Marray and his Danish partner. (Marray said in a BBC interview Sunday that Murray had sent him a congratulatory text.) For Federer, it's that Serena Williams won the women's singles title in three sets, taking the third, 6-2, over a big underdog. Williams won 6-2 in the third against the recently unretired Justine Henin at the 2010 Australian Open, and Federer went on to beat Murray in the final there in three sets. Williams on Saturday became the first woman to win a major singles title at 30+ since Martina Navratilova at Wimbledon in 1990. Federer would be the first man since Andre Agassi won the 2003 Australian Open at age 32, and the second oldest man to reach No. 1, after a 33-year-old, 131-day Agassi. Federer turns 31 a month from today. Agassi could have protected his records by offering Mikhail Youzhny, Federer's flummoxed fourth-round victim, some advice when Youzhny asked for it during the match while Agassi sat in the royal box, but Agassi didn't offer up anything useful.
Spotted on the walk over to the press center:
- A bagpiper playing and seeking tips.
- A packed Murray Mount, with many sitting so far off to the side there's no way they can see much of the big screen.
- Everybody taking pictures of everything, no matter how mundane. There will be proof in case they wish to tell their grandkids they were here — if photo file formats still are valid.
- A good turnout on court 14 to watch wheelchair tennis, including world No. 1 Esther Vergeer, who hasn't lost in singles in nine and a half years but lost in doubles, the only Wimbledon competition here in wheelchair tennis. She was playing the third-place match.
- No pretense of neutrality from some of the staff at press centre, including one guy who'd turned a newspaper front page saying "Come on, Andy!" into a hat.
Weather update: It poured last night, rained steadily this morning, stopped long enough to open the roof over Centre Court, started again, now has stopped — and, according to the official tournament forecast, there is a 30% chance of rain until mid afternoon, when it rises to 60%. So, typical London. Or atypically terrible — veteran press here say it's the worse Wimbledon weather, when factoring in cold and wind, they can remember in two decades. Whether the roof is open or closed may not matter all that much to the outcome, Federer's great indoor record notwithstanding. There isn't a huge sample size to test that, but one indicator is that serve stats in the fifth set of Lukas Rosol's upset of Rafael Nadal, played under the roof, weren't particularly different than for the first four sets, played with the roof open. The server's advantage from having no wind to contend with may be neutralized by the humid indoor conditions playing slower, giving the returner more time to react.
Federer's last two finals here were the two longest men's finals in Wimbledon history, each an epic that went past 6-6 in the fifth set, including his loss to Rafael Nadal in 2008 that was delayed by rain several times. On the other hand, each time before that Federer and Murray have met in a major final, Federer has won in three quick sets. You can be sure that with Federer, if the match is going long, it's because it's close: He tends to play quickly and aggressively during points and hurries in between them. The allowed time between points at majors is 20 seconds, and most men here, including Murray, regularly exceed that, often accompanied by more than a dozen ball bounces. At this tournament, though, Federer, has averaged just 17 seconds and nine bounces after points he's lost, by my count of a few dozen points he's played, and just 15 seconds and eight bounces after he wins points.
It's in two very different parties' interests to root for Federer: charity Oxfam, which stands to make more than 100,000 pounds if he wins his seventh Wimbledon title thanks to the unusual will of a man who supported both Oxfam and Federer, and bookmakers, who stand to lose millions if home-nation punter favorite Murray wins.
I didn't make any formal predictions before the tournament, but in my head, I thought Nadal or Djokovic, and Djokovic heading into the semis. So clearly I have no idea. As for Murray, he sensibly makes no prediction about the outcome in a pre-final column for the BBC. "The one thing I can guarantee is that I'll fight my absolute heart out," Murray said.
Lots of BBC courtside interviews with celebrities. David Beckham is here and not saying a whole lot surprising, but he sure is dressed well.
Murray said earlier in this tournament that he took inspiration from LeBron James, who played through intense criticism of his ability to win big games and got his first NBA title last month. James returned the favor, tweeting, "Good luck @andy_murray at Wimbledon tomorrow. Congrats on getn to the final. Honored by the shout out. Will be rooting for U. C u in London!"
Murray is very much both a member of the Big Four ruling men's tennis, and several steps behind Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the top. No one else besides the big four have appeared in a Grand Slam final since Tomas Berdych at Wimbledon two years ago. No one else has won one of the nine Masters events, the level below the Grand Slams, since Robin Soderling at Bercy in 2010. When Tommy Haas beat Federer in the final of Halle on grass last month, it was the first time any member of the Big Four had lost in a final to anyone other than each other in almost two years. No one else has ranked in the top four since April 2011, while the big four have all been in the top five since September 2008, and occupied the top four spots during all of that time save about a dozen weeks. Yet Murray is the only one of the four to never win a major. Each one has occupied each of the top four spots in that time, except Murray at No. 1. And each of the players has beaten each of the others at least twice in majors, except Murray, who's never beaten Djokovic and Federer at majors. It's bad luck for him that he keeps encountering these guys, his peers and among the all-time greats, in these major finals. As tennis TV commentator Rob Koenig noted on Twitter, the other three each got their first major title against a guy who has never won a major.
And the players have taken the court. Boxing fan Murray looks full of energy, nervous or otherwise, bouncing on his feet like a fighter before a big bout. BBC is cuing up the ponderous music as they play slow-motion clips with title cards announcing that it's not about the history or the glory. It's about making history. Helpful. That's my cue to head inside.
I've been coming to Wimbledon since 2005. That point was the most noise I've ever heard for one of Federer's opponents. But they're cheering for Federer, too.
2-0, Murray
Murray starts by breaking Federer — yes, that's right — and then holds in a close game. He's moving great, looks loose and fast. And he's striking the ball very cleanly, especially on his backhand. The one thing going against him right now: the dark cloud that's moving toward the stadium. I'd be surprised if we don't get a rain shower at some point in this match.
2-0, Murray
Great start for Murray. He breaks at 30 after challenging Federer's serve, called in on yet another bad Centre Court line call. Then he holds at 30. Getting lots of depth on shots and so far he's untroubled by Federer and all his major titles.
2-1, Murray
And Federer holds serve, but it wasn't easy. So impressed with Murray so far. He's moving incredibly well. When I met with him earlier this year, he said that when he's nervous, he feels slow — lactic acid builds up in his legs. He must be relaxed today, because he's getting his racket on almost everything Federer hits. Federer looks a bit surprised that he's having so much trouble putting pressure on Murray, especially after his performance against Djokovic in the semifinals.
2-1, Murray
Murray has served so much better than usual this tournament, and he uses it to great effect to take a 40-15 lead: ace, hard serve that leads to a swinging volley, and another hard serve that gives him a forehand (it forced an error).
2-1, Murray
Murray starts his famous muttering for the first time, after he cuts a slice backhand wide. Bad decision, and then he misses a backhand long on the next point. Deuce, with Federer looking for a break of serve.
2-1, Murray
Murray hits an ace and then on the next point approaches with a beautiful slice. He moves right for a volley and hits an incredible angle, but it's just wide (he challenges and loses). Back to deuce.
2-1, Murray
Federer smashes a backhand down the line winner and it's break point…
Federer hits a low, slow return and then gets a forehand. He hits it hard to Murray's backhand and Murray dumps the ball into the net. We're back on serve.
Federer breaks back. Like against Djokovic, he's returning very well, and he played that game patiently, choosing his spots then ripping a backhand winner down the line to get the break point.
0-30 to Murray after Federer misses an overhead (Murray returned an overhead to make it happen). The crowd didn't realize the ball was out, and they perk up once the scoreboard changes.
Not all that surprised that Federer broke back. He didn't start badly, but Murray had the perfect start. And his level is still high. He put extreme pressure on Federer in his first two service points after Federer came to net, with Federer missing a backhand volley and the second of two smashes after Murray — the best smash retriever in tennis — returned the first.
Good effort from Federer to get back to 30-30, as he forces a Murray shot just deep, then retrieves a ball that slips over the netcord and Murray can't do much with it.
With a game point in hand, Federer misses a backhand. One of the first backhand misses I can remember from him in a while. That side, often a weakness, was so solid in the semi. And it looks good there at net, as Federer hits a winning backhand volley over a tough shot.
At 30-30, Murray missed a routine forehand into the net. All players miss routine forehands; Murray does it a bit more often, and looks worse when he does it. He has been working on that shot with Ivan Lendl, his coach, but it's not as natural of a shot as it is for Federer, Nadal or Djokovic.
Tremendous start to the match with both men playing well. Murray's forehand has been heavy. The main difference may be that Federer, so far, isn't moving as well. He gets a first serve at deuce, though, to get another game point.
3-2, Federer
A nice kick second serve handcuffs Murray. Federer takes his first lead. Those first five games took 26 minutes and countless British nerve cells — though lots of fans here are supporting Federer, as well, including one man who yelled out the obligatory, "I love you, Roger!"
3-2, Federer
Murray looks a little nervous after opening with an ace, pushing a shot long. This will be a big test for him after Federer escaped with another hold to win his third straight game.
3-2, Federer
Big serve from Murray gets him two game points, but Federer erases the first with a sharply angled winner and Murray loses the second with a forehand into the net. One stat to watch on scoreboard is challenges remaining. We're only about halfway through the set and Federer has two left, Murray just one. There have been lots of bad calls over the last few days on this court, so each man will want to save some challenges.
4-3, Federer
Federer holds with some nice serving and strong forehands. Early (too early, really, but why not?) analysis: Murray caught Federer flat footed to start, but Federer recovered and is now the more comfortable player out here. This could change quickly, but so far, it's advantage Federer.
4-3, Federer
Murray falls in a 0-30 hole, climbs out of it with a big first serve, forehand winner and second serve that draws a Federer backhand shank into the heavens. But Federer gets to deuce with a bold net approach that pays off.
4-3, Federer
Federer looks highly motivated in this game. He started with a rare chip-and-charge that set up a smash winner. Murray's motivated, too, ripping his second forehand winner for his second game point.
4-3, Federer
That's the forehand Ivan Lendl likes to see, Andy. Another 70 of those and this title is yours!
4-3, Federer
Federer gets back to deuce with a deft backhand flick crosscourt off a Murray drop shot. Murray loves drop shots, and he's faster than Federer, but Federer's anticipation is outstanding and Murray is 0 for 2 by my count on that particular gambit.
4-3, Federer
Federer gets to break point with a series of beautiful backhands, alternating slice and topspin, until he rips one that Murray can't handle.
4-3, Federer
Murray boldly approaches to that same backhand wing and Federer can't float his slice over. Deuce. Yet another very, very tense game.
4-3, Federer
Murray loves to run. Federer loves to give him the runaround. Federer gets another break point when Murray can't quite get an on-the-run forehand over the net.
4-3, Federer
Scintillating tennis. Murray gets back to deuce by handling a low backhand slice passing shot from Federer, and Federer's lob goes a little long.
4-3, Federer
Back to advantage Murray after a Federer forehand sails wide. One senses Murray is ahead if he holds here. So often in his recent major losses Federer is vulnerable on serve after he gains then squanders break points on his opponent's serve.
4-3, Federer
Federer back to deuce with a forehand winner, then Murray gets the advantage again when a Federer forehand goes long. From the Wall Street Journal's David Crawshaw, watching on TV: BBC coverage showed Boris Johnson watching from one of the boxes, prompting commentator Boris Becker to remark that London's mayor had a "beautiful first name."
Important — very important — game for Murray there. He served badly, made some errors and looked a bit stressed, but he managed to hold serve. Only bad result: He is out of challenges.
Yes, Murray just used his last challenge of the set at an odd moment, challenging a first serve let that was in fact out. He doesn't flinch after the longer than usual delay, and Federer goes for, and misses, a bold forehand winner off the second-serve return. Thrilling game. Eight games, 48 minutes. This has been moving at the pace of a Nadal-Djokovic major final. Federer gets to 15-0 with his first drop shot, handling the Murray reply lob well.
Another Federer backhand shank. Murray may want to probe that side and see if it yields more rewards. 15-15.
5-4, Murray
Murray gets to 15-30 after a worse Federer drop shot gets an Ivan Lendl-like reply, with Murray ripping a forehand right at Federer, who gets out of the way. Tsonga didn't on a similar point in the semifinal and was nailed in a sensitive spot. Tsonga came in anyway on the next point. Federer, given the opportunity, didn't and missed a forehand deep. Two break points, and Federer nets a forehand on the first one. Murray will serve for the first set. Lots of fans on their feet. Great effort from Murray.
5-4, Murray
Note to pro tennis players: Don't hit bad drop shots to Andy Murray and follow them to the net.
5-4, Murray
Nice time for Federer to get better at the one thing he's terrible at: challenges. Murray thought he was up 30-0 after a Federer forehand that was called long, but it clipped the line. They replay the point and Murray misses. 15-15.
6-4, Murray
First set to Murray, and Centre Court gets loud, loud, loud. Service and an ace to end it. Impressive stuff for Murray, who has more firepower than Federer today, which isn't what we expected. Can he keep it up, and keep his lapses few and far between?
6-4, 0-1, Murray
Great start to second set for Federer, who wins the first five points, holding at love and ripping a backhand pass that Murray can't handle. Make that six, as Murray sends a backhand wide.
6-4, 0-1, Murray
Murray won the last three points of the first set with big first serves, and he finds another to start digging out of a 0-30 hole.
6-4, 0-1, Murray
And a 128-mph first serve sets up a nice forehand winner from Murray. This would be a critical hold. He threw in a lousy service game at the start of the third set against Tsonga and wasn't able to climb back into that set. And Federer looks eager. He gets a break point by surprising Murray with a sharply hit backhand return.
6-4, 0-1, Murray
Bold stuff from Murray, who approaches to Federer's backhand and watches the attempt at a pass go wide. Deuce.
6-4, 0-1, Murray
Premature celebration from the crowd there as Murray does well to handle a high backhand volley but Federer chases it down and rips a forehand — that just sails long. He must be feeling like he's so close to breaking. Good sign that he's staying positive, winning a long rally to get back to deuce when a Murray forehand goes into the net.
6-4, 0-1, Murray
This time the chip and charge off the return doesn't work for Federer, who can't handle the backhand volley. It's been a weakness, that volley, throughout the tournament.
6-4, 0-1, Murray
Back to deuce as this time Federer gets a forehand volley and does enough with it. Belated good news for Murray fans: After starting his career 0 for 9 in major-final sets, he has won his first. That should give him enormous confidence, though he's looked more tentative in this set. He's lucky to get a game point when a Federer forehand sails long.
6-4, 1-1, Murray
Great way to finish another big hold from Murray: a forehand winner that freezes Federer. Last time he came that close to a break he followed it up by being broken at 15.
6-4, 1-1, Murray
The Federer forehand is looking shaky. He hits an easy one long. So on the next point he doesn't let the ball bounce, taking the forehand in the air and volleying a winner.
6-4, 1-2, Murray
Federer gets to 40-15 then hits a rare double fault, thinks about challenging and thinks better of it. Good decision, as he wins the next point with a difficult smash. Better response there to a tough Murray hold.
6-4, 1-2, Murray
Last week, Federer bounced back from losing the first two sets on this court to Julien Benneteau, saying afterward he'd drawn on his large body of experience coming back from similar holes (including nearly falling behind by two sets to none the last time he played a final here, against a different Andy — Roddick — in 2009; Federer saved four set points in the second set of that won, then won in the fifth, 16-14). He wouldn't want to try that against Murray, who is a much tougher opponent, and also much fitter than Benneteau. So, lots of pressure here on Federer to win this set.
6-4, 2-2, Murray
Federer is now getting the runaround. He did well to chase a Murray forehand approach shot, but Murray — cool as can be, Federer-esque even — nonchalantly puts the volley into the open court to get to 40-15. And Murray holds when Federer, looking like he's pressing the issue, hits a backhand hard and into the net.
6-4, 2-2, Murray
What does Federer have to do to finish a point against Murray? A smash from near the back of the court, a volley and another smash. Murray is in fine retrieving form. Federer apparently doesn't want to hit that many shots on the next point, so he goes for more on the forehand, hits the line — and it's called out, then overruled. The second bad call in that corner that hurt Federer. Calls have also gone against Murray. They replay the point and Murray wins it at net with a great backhand volley. Now he's up 15-30 when an ill-advised Federer drop shot leads to a Murray winner. Big moment.
6-4, 2-2, Murray
Murray has two break points after approaching to the Federer backhand and smashing a winner. Federer needs some first serves, and maybe for Murray to slow down a step or two, too.
6-4, 2-2, Murray
Federer saves the first break point after getting away with a shanked forehand approach shot by hitting a nice volley and smash.
6-4, 2-3, Murray
And he saves the second when an aggressive Murray backhand return goes just wide. Murray is making good contact with every Federer first serve — and just about every smash, too. He makes Federer hit three good ones before Federer finally reaches game point. And he wins it with a difficult backhand volley. Federer stepped up really well there, in what could be a critical hold. Just like Andy Roddick three years ago, Andy Murray is bringing inspired, career-best tennis to this final. Whether Federer — three years later and against an opponent much younger, faster and more versatile than Roddick — can come back again is a very open question. The next few games will go a long way toward answering it.
6-4, 2-3, Murray
Good Murray response: two unreturned serves and an ace. Federer may have to go work all over again on protecting his own serve — and sooner than he'd like.
6-4, 3-3, Murray
Murray holds at love with a 126-mph serve that Federer barely gets a racket on. That was as fast as the prototypical Federer four-point service hold. Speaking of, he could really use one of those.
6-4, 3-4, Murray
And on cue, Federer gets a rapidfire hold at love, with an unreturned serve and winning forehand swing volley hit behind Murray, then a forehand volley into the open court that appears to clip the line and finally a smash to punctuate it all.
6-4, 3-4, Murray
Those were by far the fastest two games of this match, which is 86 minutes old. Federer changes shirts and gets a whistle from the crowd.
6-4, 3-4, Murray
Murray gets to 40-0, as 15 straight points go on serve, before sending a forehand wide.
6-4, 4-4, Murray
Murray brushes aside the one lost point with a 132-mph serve to hold at 15.
6-4, 4-4, Murray
Trouble again for Federer at 4-4, as he makes two errors from 30-15 to give Murray a break point. From this stage in the first set, Murray broke and served it out.
6-4, 4-4, Murray
Federer fights off two break points, the second earned by Murray with a great backhand volley put away. Federer needs to hit an extra smash, again, to save it. He makes no mistake at deuce, with a forehand down the line that Murray can't reach.
6-4, 4-5, Murray
Always nice to win an important game without your best stuff. Federer's forehand was off there, but he held. Great slicing ace (114 mph) at deuce. Murray will serve to stay in a set for the first time in the match.
6-4, 4-5, Murray
Another big hold from Federer, this time ended by a rare Murray error. Federer, it seems, will need more of those to win this set. Murray gets to 40-0 quickly on his serve, hitting a 129-mph ace.
6-4, 5-5, Murray
Another easy hold for Murray, finished off with a 127-mph serve that Federer does well to get back, but Murray calmly volleys the winner.
6-4, 5-5, Murray
Way early to say this, but: It's feeling a bit like the 2008 final, where Federer lost the first two sets to Nadal, 6-4, poured enormous effort into coming back to force a fifth set, then faltered. Federer is giving up more years to his opponent here, though. He narrowly escaped losing the second set, 6-4, with that last hold, and is at 15-15 here after Murray hits a drop shot and Federer's lob response is just wide. Federer hits another high-pressure smash to get to 30-15. That shot has been extremely reliable so far. His serve, not so much. Another poorly timed double fault and it's 30-30.
6-4, 5-5, Murray
Federer hits one of his biggest serves, a 130-mph ace, to get to 40-30. Then he hits a great 121-mph serve out wide, and the Murray reply tickles a pro-British net before dropping over for a lucky winner, and deuce. Nice response from Federer, who rips an inside-out winner off another well-placed first serve.
6-4, 5-6, Murray
Murray again will have to serve to stay in the set. He showed no problems last time. He's doing a great job so far of brushing off any regrets from not converting opportunities on the Federer serve.
6-4, 5-6, Murray
Murray gets to 30-0 with an ace and a great backhand volley he shouldn't have had to hit, but did by playing a short forehand too safely. Federer is staying positive, though, moving into position to rip a forehand winner, then surprising Murray with a forehand drop shot that yields an open court to Federer for a backhand winner.
6-4, 5-6, Murray
Murray rips a forehand — just long. 30-30, and suddenly Federer is two points from the long set.
6-4, 5-7
And Federer steals the second set with his most creative, and consistent, tennis of the day. He earns break point with a sharply angled forehand approach and a drop volley — Murray, of course, gets to the ball, but his lob is just long. On break point, Federer runs Murray around and moves in for a perfect drop volley. This one, not even Murray can get. We're even at one set each.
4-6, 7-5, 1-0, Federer
Federer playfully drops the ball over the net to hold serve as Murray stands 10 feet behind the baseline. The weather is changing quickly out here. It's darker, and suddenly the air has a lot of moisture. The breeze is picking up. Could there be a shower coming?
4-6, 7-5, 1-0, Federer
Federer holds at 15, starting the third set with an ace. He then approaches to Murray's forehand and draws an error to get to 0-15.
4-6, 7-5, 1-0, Federer
Murray does well to hit a backhand pass cross-court and avoid a 0-30 hole. BBC's Andrew Castle says the rain can't come soon enough for Murray, who presumably needs to regroup after losing that set. I'm not so sure — indoor conditions likely help Federer, and he made it more likely he'll get them by winning that set, and taking so long to do it. Murray flubs a tough but makable volley before ripping a forehand inside out to get to 30-30.
4-6, 7-5, 1-0, Federer
Shot of Henman Hill aka Murray Mount, and umbrellas, confirms some rain is falling. Murray hits a backhand down the line, a rare time he's gone down the line, to draw a Federer error and get to 40-30.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
Nice Murray hold, and a critical one to halt Federer's momentum. Speaking of that down-the-line backhand, here's Federer from earlier in the tournament, about hitting such shots on grass: "On grass I think it's worth it to go closer to the lines, use a lot of the down-the-line shots, which aren't easier to pull off on other surfaces." On cue Federer hits a backhand winner down the line, wins the next point with several down-the-line shots and gets to 40-0.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
As Federer rears up to serve, here comes the rain. Umpire announces play is suspended.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
Big decision now for tournament referee Andrew Jarrett on whether and when to close the roof. It's an outdoor tournament, as Tom pointed out last week in protest of all the roof closures. On the other hand, the All England Club built the roof to ensure play could go on at moments like this. On the other hand, the 2008 final — won by Nadal over Federer — gained epic status in part because of all the rain delays and tension they created. Then there's the wild card of whether to resist closing the roof because Murray might play better with it open. So far the tournament hasn't bent over backward to favor the home favorite, for instance scheduling him on roof-less Court 1 for the fourth round, which extended that match to two days.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
It's coming down quite hard now. The press centre refills with writers, some of them anxious now about missing a deadline for European papers. I made it back here a few games ago, after the second set, to recharge and seek some more reliable Internet access. On the way, I heard one of the tournament staffers urging Murray to focus, then ran into former pro and current TV commentator Justin Gimelstob, who said Federer may have saved his tournament there.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
Second straight major men's final interrupted by rain. Unlike at Roland Garros, which saw its final extend over two days thanks to a lack of a roof, this match surely will resume today, thanks to that roof, though how long we have to wait to find out if it's going to be closed remains to be seen. And it takes up to 40 minutes once the decision is made: eight minutes to close the roof, and up to 30 or so more minutes to get the climate right.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
BBC replays the set point won by Federer. It was vintage stuff — a great backhand cross-court, and a backhand drop volley winner that wasn't easy. Federer's backhand volley had faltered earlier in this match and tournament, so it was a bold shot to go for. It's nice to see Federer stick to his plan to keep approaching net, even against such a dangerous defender. The net attacker sometimes has to wait for a set or two, during which a dozen passing shots whistle by or draw errors, to see dividends, but there's a cumulative mental strain to having to keep coming up with those shots and face such sustained aggression. Speaking of plans, Murray's coach Ivan Lendl now has a chance to adjust his strategy. Not sure what to tell Murray, though. He played very well. Federer just played better in that last game of the second set, after doing barely anything in the few Murray service games that preceded it.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
It's confirmed: The roof is closing.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
Now's a good time to mention that while Murray leads the head-to-head in this rivalry, 7-5, outdoors, Federer has a 2-1 edge indoors, including winning the last two matches and the last four sets, each by a big margin. All three of those matches, though, were at the tour finals, on indoor, fast hard courts. The word is that Centre Court at Wimbledon plays slow indoors. Federer thrived under the roof in the semifinal against Djokovic, but struggled under it in the third round against Julien Benneteau.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
BBC says another 20 to 25 minutes until the players come back on the courts. The roof at Halle, Germany, for a grass-court warmup tournament closes in 88 seconds, with no additional time needed for climate control. I've had difficulty getting firm answers from Halle tournament organizers about why it takes them so much less time. "It's not necessary to control the climatic conditions in the stadium because the climate is always comfortable, even if the roof is closed," said Sascha Detlefsen, spokesman for the Gerry Weber Open, in what seems a rather bold claim for anywhere but, say, San Diego. The Gerry Weber stadium has a capacity of 11,500, just 3,500 fewer than 15,000. Detlefsen added: "We kindly ask for your understanding that we don't want to draw a comparison between our roof and Wimbledon's."
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
The latest weather update in the press centre is that, while the current shower should soon pass — rainfall has already slowed quite a bit, with few holding umbrellas outside — others are expected, hence the roof closure.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
Play has stopped elsewhere on the grounds, but after enough patches without rain to get in almost all the remaining matches. Despite the wretched weather, the tournament has done very well to be in good shape to finish on time today. Seemingly every day it needed it, the All England Club got enough hours to get through the critical matches to keep the draws moving along. Just the boys' doubles final and the men's wheelchair doubles final remain, plus a seniors match and the mixed-doubles final, scheduled to follow the end of Murray-Federer.
There is one wild card that could extend things — a very unlikely one. Federer and Murray could go deep into a fifth set as rain continues to fall. Many things have to happen to make that happen, but the incredibly close start to the match suggests it could. Consider that Federer has won 37% of his receiving points to Murray's 36%, while Federer has won one more total point even though Murray has 16 more winners than unforced errors, while Federer is at +9. The difference is that Federer is forcing more errors, largely by approaching net, where he has won a remarkably good 36 of 47 points. Murray has been successful as well but has come forward just 26 times, winning 18 of them.
In addition to being close, the match has been very, very good, really living up to the billing. In my book, the play has been better than at the Australian Open final between Nadal and Djokovic earlier this year, which went deep into a fifth set and to a record length of five hours and 53 minutes, but also featured a lot of errors. This feels to me more like the much better-played, though more one-sided, Nadal-Djokovic final at the U.S. Open last year.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
A rain-delay game suggested by Journal colleagues: Submit your Murray victory/defeat headlines for tomorrow's British tabloids. Two early contenders: "Andymonium" and "Rogered." Inspire yourselves with some of the offerings from Sunday's front pages.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
The bad news: 70% chance of further showers over next couple of hours. The good news: Players are back on court, this time carrying their own bags, and under the roof. More warmups now, then Federer will pick up where he left off, serving at 40-0, 1-1, third set.
4-6, 7-5, 1-1, Federer
Players finish warmups and take last drinks of water before resuming. BBC shows some terrific headgear on the waiting fans. Federer jumps in place and bends his legs. If all goes well for him he'll be sitting again momentarily, up 2-1. Ready, play.
4-6, 7-5, 2-1, Federer
And so he does, winning the first point at 40-0. That point was delayed for a moment by a late return by prime minister David Cameron, who tries to stifle a sheepish smile.
4-6, 7-5, 2-1, Federer
Murray starts with a good serve that slides into Federer, handcuffing him and drawing a backhand error. Then an ace. Then Federer hits a bizarre, or genius, shot, slicing at a forehand coming into his body and turning it into a drop-shot winner. 30-15.
4-6, 7-5, 2-2, Federer
Great work by Murray to hold at 15. His serve is clicking nicely indoors, making for huge echoes. Also great work by the folks getting drenched on Murray Mount (might as well make the name official now that Murray has won a set in a Wimbledon final, something Tim Henman — namesake for the former name of the spot, Henman Hill — never did, though Mount Murray would make more sense to me). When the BBC cameras show the fans watching from there on the big screen, fans pick their umbrellas up and down or twirl them. Nice visual effect, which gets some laughs from the press centre — though one woman near me yells, "stupid people." She sounds American, and Americans haven't waited 76 years for a Grand Slam champion.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Easy hold for Federer at love as Murray, who never looks fully comfortable hitting down the line, sends a backhand wide. Both men are holding serve easily in the indoor conditions, picking up where they left off outdoors in the second set — save that last game, when Federer needed some great shots and flirted with lines to break.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Federer keeps attacking, and Murray hits another backhand passing shot winner. Still Federer should feel like the pressure will pay off, especially on Murray's service games. Then Federer runs around his backhand to hit a forehand wide, and Murray hits an ace. 40-0.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Federer might want to think twice about running around his backhand, which has been rock solid in the match. He rips a backhand crosscourt for a return winner at 40-0. Unlikely to pay off this game, but good aggression. And he slams another backhand return at 40-15, approaching net behind it and drawing a Murray error. Federer usually hits safe backhand returns but perhaps thought better of it or was advised against it during the rain delay.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Murray goes down. Federer ripped another backhand return, then kept hitting strong backhands, using one down the line to approach. Murray did well to lob it back to the baseline, Federer hits an overhead from there, then a drop shot to come in again. And Murray falls as he hits it into the net. He looks OK, though, and wins the deuce point with a good serve.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Federer goes after another return, this time with his forehand, then goes back to work on his backhand, eventually drawing an error with a sliced backhand down the line. Some of his best returning of the match. Too bad it started at 40-0. Though Federer gets a break point with a terrific backhand lob, then errs by not approaching but still rips a forehand winner down the line.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Murray hit a forehand winner set up by a big serve to save the break point. I knew before he won the point that Murray had won it, because I'm in the press centre watching off the BBC feed, while others here are watching the live feed, which comes in a little sooner but without commentary. When people cheer here, Murray has won a point. It's an anomaly, albeit an understandable one, because from my experience much of the press, secretly or not so secretly, roots for Federer. Meanwhile, Federer gets another break point by stepping around his backhand return to rip a forehand, setting up a forehand winner. Murray saves it, then another break point with another big forehand return off a second serve. And Murray saves it with an ace, though Federer challenges. Great challenge, and another bad call: Ball was well wide. Murray saves a third break point when Federer unwisely runs around his backhand and well off the court by hitting a forehand return, which Murray handles well with his backhand, directing it into the open court. Deuce again.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
A positive point for Murray on this deuce, as he makes his first approach to net in a while and puts away the backhand volley. His technique at net may be even better than Federer's, but he's getting there a lot less often than his opponent.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Federer's willingness to redirect the ball down the line — as he noted earlier in the tournament, especially effective on the low-bouncing grass — pays dividends again as it draws a Murray error. Another deuce in this critical game.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Federer is giving Murray a lot of different returns to look at. He chips the backhand return at deuce, though Murray handles it well. Still, a lot to think about. Then Federer gets back to deuce, following up a couple more ripped backhands with a great forehand half-volley from his own baseline that clips Murray's baseline. Murray throws away a challenge on the call. Then he hits a backhand wide. Another break point in this nutty game.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
The significance of that bad challenge is immediately apparent when Murray chooses not to challenge an out call on a first serve at break point that looked close. Federer bails him out when he runs around his backhand return again to rip a forehand that goes just long, but gets yet another break point with two more great shots down both lines — a forehand that draws a short reply to Federer backhand, which he slices low to Murray's forehand to draw the error.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Another Federer bailout of a Murray second serve on break point, as the ball curls into Federer's body and he can't keep his backhand return in the court. Deuce again. 40-0 feels like a long, long time ago to Murray, surely.
4-6, 7-5, 3-2, Federer
Tremendous point from Murray, recovering from a strong Federer backhand return to get a look at a forehand pass down the line, and then threading the needle. Murray then hits two balls near the baseline that land in but Federer isn't bothered, ripping a forehand inside in that draws a Murray forehand error. The effect of the wind on Federer's groundstrokes is evident: He looks like he knows with confidence where the ball will be, which always makes it easier to swing freely.
4-6, 7-5, 4-2, Federer
Another break point, another Murray tumble, another wasted Murray challenge on a ball on his own baseline. Federer did well to stay in a point that Murray started well, then took advantage of a lazy Murray volley off a high ball to lob Murray, wrong-footing him and causing him to slip again on the grass. The ball landed on the baseline and too far in front of a chasing Murray — who to his credit ran after it after getting up and threw away a challenge on it. Then Federer broke by drawing a Murray backhand error. A fitting end to an epic game that featured some wily and accurate Federer returning.
4-6, 7-5, 4-2, Federer
That's how Federer used to hit his forehand in 2006 and 2007. Vintage game to break Murray. So confident, almost every ball struck perfectly. The man loves playing under a roof.
4-6, 7-5, 4-2, Federer
It's all clicking well for Federer now. He wrong-foots Murray with a swinging volley set up by a good serve out wide. And as I type that Federer puts a forehand into the net, for 30-30. This could be another epic game. Both men must wish the last one had come before a changeover.
4-6, 7-5, 4-2, Federer
Federer has looked tentative on a couple of points in this game, not approaching net when it looked like he could. Still Murray hits a forehand into net to get Federer to 40-30, a game point for a formidable 5-2 lead in the set.
4-6, 7-5, 5-2, Federer
Federer holds after again choosing not to approach. It's understandable he's a bit reluctant to approach on his own serve — easier to take risks in a return game, when you're expected to lose. Tom, I agree playing indoors is clicking for Federer, though he was already playing much better before the rain delay. How cruel for Murray that his nation's notoriously damp weather may be hurting his chances to win this for his home fans.
4-6, 7-5, 5-2, Federer
And as I type that, Federer attacks another Murray serve. Murray does well to get a shot off down the line that Federer hesitates to volley before deciding it's going in and going for it, missing badly. Then a Murray ripped backhand gets him to 30-0, and a big serve to 40-0. Can he close the 40-0 lead out this time?
4-6, 7-5, 5-3, Federer
Not immediately, at least. Murray gets a short reply from a big serve but nets the easy forehand. His discomfort trying to go down the line hurts Murray again. Then Federer rips a forehand return winner crosscourt off a 40-15 serve. Gee, I wonder if anyone's ever done that to Federer? Nice response from Murray, though, to snuff out the threat of another comeback from 40-0 with an ace.
4-6, 7-5, 5-3, Federer
Federer straight-setted Murray at the Australian Open final in 2010 despite hitting an ill-advised drop shot in the third-set tiebreaker. He tries another one here to start the game in which he's serving for a two-sets-to-one lead and does well to put away a tough forehand volley off the Murray reply. Murray is still fighting, ripping a crosscourt forehand winner with Federer ahead in the rally to get to 15-15. A Federer ace and a rare Federer misfire on his backhand slice brings this game, like Federer's last service game, to 30-30.
4-6, 7-5, 5-3, Federer
Both men look very tense in the 30-30 rally, with each going for safe shots until Murray goes for broke on an inside-out forehand and sends it wide. Set point.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, Federer
Federer's wife Mirka fist pumps, Roger hits an ace, Roger fist pump. Murray will have to win the fourth and fifth sets to win the first major singles title for a British man since 1936. Federer needs to win one more set to win his seventh Wimbledon title and 17th career major title and retake the world No. 1 ranking.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, Federer
Federer steps around another Murray second delivery to rip a forehand, but he sends it wide. A comfortable hold here for Murray could help him get back into this match. He gets to 30-0 but again struggles with a short, low ball to his forehand, sending an approach shot deep.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 0-1, Federer
Big serve from Murray to get to 40-15, but Federer chips and charges on a second serve and puts away a backhand volley down the line. Good hold at 30 for Murray as he catches Federer starting to run around his backhand return, slides a serve at his forehand and eventually takes control of the rally to set up a winning volley. While the commentators have been focusing on Federer's aggressive second-serve returning in the third set, he won a lower percentage of second-serve return points in that set than earlier in the match. It was his first-serve returning that really started to click in that set, as he won 43% of points on Murray's first serve compared to 27% and 23% in the first two sets, respectively. Though playing indoors should help the server, this is the second consecutive match in which Federer has dealt well with big serves indoors. It was a key to his win over Djokovic, and if he wins here, it will be a major reason again.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 0-1, Federer
Positive start from Murray in his first return game of the set, as he wins the first point thanks to a big crosscourt forehand, almost draws a Federer error on the second though Federer hits a winning volley, draws a shank from Federer at 15-15 and then nearly gets two break points, but a Federer forehand lands on the line. Murray wastes a challenge on it — surprising to see him make so many bad challenges on balls that land near him. Murray still gets to break point with a big forehand inside out. And he almost converts it, but can't quite get enough curl on a down-the-line forehand passing shot. Close escape on that point from Federer, who isn't out of the woods yet. Deuce.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 1-1, Federer
Murray takes a big cut at a forehand return but it drifts long. Federer is serving at 70%, Boris Becker says on BBC (after first saying Federer's first-serve percentage is in the 70s, which is technically true). Federer then uses a big serve to close out the game with a stinging forehand down the line that Murray can't reach.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 1-1, Federer
Murray to serve. He's dealt well with disappointment after near breaks so far in this match, but he starts poorly here with a feeble double fault. Becker intones, "He's starting to show the strain of the match," as another Murray first serve goes awry. But he wisely hits a second serve down the middle after Federer jumps to his left to take the serve on his forehand, a sound strategy poorly executed. He jumped way too early.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 1-1, Federer
Murray nets an easy forehand to fall behind 15-30. He needs this hold, with Federer hitting so many first serves under the roof. (Speaking of the roof, it looks sunny and dry outside now.) Murray hits his own big first serve to get to 30-30.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 1-2, Federer
Murray holds with a big serve at 30-30 and a Federer forehand error on game point. Federer should have kept the pressure on in that point to see if Murray was confident enough to win it himself in a rally, something he's done too rarely since 5-5 in the second set. Federer played that game with a new racket, as he always does when his opponent serves with new balls. If only we had reliable point-by-point stats for every match — akin to play-by-plays available for the NFL, NBA and MLB — we could test whether servers hold more often with new balls and whether Federer helps himself with the new racket. We might also test whether breaks happen more often in a player's last service game of a set — it happened to Federer in the first set and Murray in the second, as well as repeatedly to Rafael Nadal when serving against Novak Djokovic last year.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 2-2, Federer
Federer wins the first point of his service game with a favorite shot of his — a slice forehand crosscourt when it looks like he's lining up to hit a drop shot. It's an unusual shot, one used to fool an opponent. It's also slightly embarrassing to be beaten by it, though plenty of Federer opponents have been stymied by trickier, more unusual stuff from his racket. Federer closes out the game with two big serves and a successful approach. Pressure back on Murray, who hasn't broken serve since the first set.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 3-2, Federer
Federer seems content to keep rallying with Murray on Murray's serve to see if he can draw an error. Murray provides one at 15-15, hitting out on a forehand and sends it wide. He challenges, the call is right — the lines judges have bounced back from the bad start to the match almost as well as Federer has — and he has one challenge left. Then Federer gets two break points when a Murray backhand goes just long. Federer breaks by again staying in the rally with Murray, eventually getting Murray to approach the Federer backhand, which has been great in this match and comes through again with a crosscourt winner.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 3-2, Federer
Overheard in the press centre:
(In a British accent) "That's it, that's it."
(In an American accent) "Fred Perry can rest easy."
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 3-2, Federer
Federer needs to hold three more times to win the title. Murray needs to break serve, something he hasn't done in the last 13 Federer service games. A nice start for Murray, who draws an error and yells, "Come on!" Federer replies by hitting a tough backhand drop volley, much like the one he hit to win the second set. But then he throws in a double fault. Federer is showing some nerves here just as the finish line is in sight.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 4-2, Federer
The ramifications of early, errant Murray challenges again become apparent as Murray sets himself up well for a forehand passing shot with a low slice backhand, but hits the ball long. Or at least it's called long. Murray takes a long look, then decides not to challenge. Even though he has just one incorrect challenge left, that might have been the time to use it (unless the ball was way out; BBC doesn't show the Hawk-Eye review since Murray didn't ask for it). A successful challenge would have given him two break points. Instead Federer holds at 30 with two big serves, the second one setting up a forehand winner. Two games away now for Federer, who can swing a little more freely in this next Murray service game with the break in hand.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 4-2, Federer
Nice start to the service game for Murray, who draws a Federer forehand error and then hits an ace. But then Federer rips a backhand down the line — swinging freely now — to set up a swinging forehand volley winner. Murray needs to hold here to avoid giving Federer two chances to serve out the match.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 4-2, Federer
Murray nets a nervous backhand down the line. 30-30. Murray gets to 40-30, just, when Federer uses his best Murray impersonation to chase down a volley and throw up a lob, which Murray manages to overhead weakly into the open court. As Boris Becker says on the BBC telecast, there are no pictures on the scorecard.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 4-3, Federer
Murray holds as his serve takes a British bounce for an ace. Murray gets the first of two chances to break to stay in the match. Federer is two games away from the title.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 4-3, Federer
It's temping to say Murray is getting a taste of Federer's indoor form in London. Federer is 10-0 over the last two years against top-10 opponents at the world tour finals, held at the O2 arena indoors in London in November. (Murray was dealt one of those losses, in straight sets in 2010.) But Federer's form was already very high in that second set, in which he hit 19 winners and eight unforced errors.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 5-3, Federer
Federer starts out his service game well, with a backhand winner set up by a big serve. Then Murray rips a forehand winner. Another point off a serve, then Federer has a look at a big cut on his forehand but misses it. And Murray gets a look at a second serve at 30-30, takes a big cut on his forehand crosscourt — and sends it wide. Federer closes out the game in imperious fashion, with a serve out wide that kicks up a cloud of the titanium paste they use to paint the lines here. From that comes a short ball that he taps over the net for a casual winner. Murray to serve to stay in the match.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 5-3, Federer
Federer steps around again to rip a forehand return on a second serve and gets the first point in Murray's do-or-die service game. Then Murray hits a first serve a mile long and is bailed out by a Federer forehand long. (Federer wastes a challenge on it; it was well deep.) Then Federer contributes an error and Murray hits a big serve, but Federer tightens the score to 40-30 with a forehand return winner down the line, then sets himself up for a big forehand crosscourt winner. Deuce, two points from the title for Federer. Federer's willingness to take more risks and go for more on returns was a key tactical adjustment for him in the match and another reason — in addition to his high level and the indoor conditions — that he's in position to serve for the match if he loses this game. He also approached net more, which paid big dividends, and chose the right spots to be patient and let his nervous younger rival make mistakes, much like he did against Djokovic in the French Open semifinals last year.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 5-3, Federer
Another good adjustment from Murray, who sees Federer moving to his left before the second serve and hits it out wide to Federer's forehand. Federer is late getting back and hits the return deep, giving Murray a game point. But Federer saves it by drawing a forehand error. A second deuce.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 5-4, Federer
Huge ace from Murray down the T on the second deuce, and a second game point. Murray converts it when Federer, suddenly losing patience, sends a backhand down the line. Murray's forehand errors early in the match seemed to make him more tentative from that side late. The same thing happened in last year's Wimbledon semifinal: He was up a set and a break on Rafael Nadal, missed an easy forehand and couldn't get back in the match. This one isn't over yet — Murray needs to break Federer here to stay in the match — but for Murray to get back into it he'll surely have to start hitting better forehands while missing fewer.
Crowd is on its feet rallying Murray. Kate and Pippa Middleton smile, a bit more than you might expect when their man is a game from defeat. The crowd in general is trying to imbue Murray with positive energy, which is nice to see from a British sports culture that can sometimes be defeatist about its best players. Murray seems to absorb it, playing a great first point to draw a Federer error. He almost gets to 0-30, with a good look at a forehand lob, but sends it just long.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 5-4, Federer
Federer with a big serve down the T that Murray can't return. 30-15. Murray challenges, and it's well in. That's his last challenge, but he might as well use it there. An ace down the T, and two match points. "Uh oh" in the press centre.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Game, set, match, Federer, his 17th major title.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Murray saved the first championship point after a Federer first serve is called out (BBC's Andrew Castle says Hawk-Eye shows it was in), and Murray hangs in well in a rally. He barely converts the second, approaching to Murray's forehand and drawing a reply that is just wide. It might have been the second successive Murray match that ended with a challenge, only he had no more to use. Federer falls to the grass in celebration, gets up quickly and has a warm exchange with Murray at the net. Boris Becker says on BBC, rightly, that Murray played well and there is no shame in losing to Roger Federer — or at least the devastating incarnation of Federer who showed up for the semifinal and final against two much younger rivals who themselves were playing great tennis before meeting him.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
For Murray it's four major finals, four runner-up finishes. Ivan Lendl, his coach, started his career in the same way, then won eight of his remaining 15 major finals. Murray may be a better player than his mentor, but Lendl didn't have to face the likes of Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
It's an odd tradition that Wimbledon has to introduce the chair umpire before its trophy ceremonies. Enric Molina gets applause. I'm all for honoring chair umpires but there were enough bad calls that weren't overruled to make the applause tentative.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Murray gets well-deserved warm applause. Unlike after his loss to Federer in the 2010 Australian Open, Murray is shedding no tears and looking proud. Federer is looking a bit teary-eyed in his zip-up sweater. He's introduced and called something like Ferderer by the emcee (keeping company with the Roland Garros emcee, who announced women's runner-up Maria Sharapova last month).
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Murray is up first in the postmatch interview with the BBCs Sue Barker. She mentions all the excitement he's provided to fans, and the emotion seems to hit him as his voice wavers and he looks for words. "I'm getting closer," he says, a perfect and true comment. (Though two reporters near me say they don't think he'll ever win Wimbledon, which seems like a very harsh assessment.) Now Murray is crying as he takes the mic. "I'm going to try this and it's not going to be easy." Very nice moment for Murray and his fans, who are showering him with applause and positive emotion.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Murray: "Firstly I'd like to congratulate Roger…. He showed what fight he still has left in him. So congratulations, you deserve it." Roger looks appreciative. Murray says he can't look at his team lest he shed more tears. He thanks them, then does shed more tears as he starts to thank the fans, saying, "Last of all, to you guys," then cutting off to more applause. "Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is. But it's not the people watching. They make it so much easier to play. So, thank you." The sometimes-dour Scot has won over the crowd, and his opponent, who embraces him, laughs with him, and then goes to the mic with his seventh Wimbledon singles trophy.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Federer is always goofy in these moments. But he does pay warm tribute to Murray, saying he's played so well and so consistent, and says "he will win at least one Grand Slam." Which is a compliment, though it doesn't necessarily sound like it. Federer bites his tongue when Sue Barker incorrectly says he was down a set and a break. He says holding the trophy "feels nice, like it's never left me." He sounds like someone who wants to keep winning, and therefore minimizes this particular win, which he compares to "any other Grand Slam victory."
Of his seventh Wimbledon title, he says it equals Pete Sampras's seven, and since Sampras is his hero, "it's amazing." Federer, asked about rising to No. 1, mentions how close he's been, losing two matches at Grand Slams last year when he led by two sets to none. "Maybe I got nervous," he says. Now, this is "an amazing moment for me."
Amazing how comfortable and calm he seemed, like it hadn't been two and a half years since he'd won a major title. His confidence seems to be through the roof at the moment. Amazing to think he was two points away from losing in the third round — five different times.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Andy Murray signs autographs on his way out. He'll be back "bravely and strongly, like he does again and again," Andrew Castle says on BBC. Cameras follow Murray as he exits through the clubhouse. Meanwhile Federer is kissing his trophy out on the court. The fans here love Federer almost as much as they support Murray, and they are staying on their feet to cheer him. This wasn't quite a can't-lose matchup for them, but many don't seem all that sad to cheer a Federer victory for a seventh time here.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Federer stops to sign autographs. Nice job by Nike on the sweater he's wearing, which looks a lot better than what he wore, emblazoned with a braggy "15," when he last won here, in 2009.
4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, Federer
Roger Federer is a Grand Slam champion for the first time in two and a half years after winning the 2012 Wimbledon final on Sunday over Andy Murray, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.
Murray was playing before a passionate home crowd and started the match calmly and confidently. He broke, was broken back, broke again at four games apiece and soon won his first set in a major final, on his fourth try. Then Federer, who turns 31 next month, picked up his game and called on his underrated reserves of guile and tactical intelligence. He won an incredibly tight second set with a flawless return game at 5-6.
Soon after, the rain came, the players rested and regrouped, the roof closed and Federer came out with the same high level, in favorable conditions and with a better game plan. As Murray noted in his press conference, Federer attacked the net, attacked Murray's serve and waited patiently for the right opportunities, finally taking one in a 19-minute sixth game of the third set, breaking for a 4-2 lead. Federer never looked back.
Because of his prodigious talent, his calm demeanor in big moments and his remarkable fitness — for the second time in three days, Federer looked much fresher at the end of a match than a 25-year-old opponent who is one of the quickest men on tour — Federer doesn't always get credit for his ability to change tactics and solve problems during matches. Murray presented a host of problems with his relentless defense, strong serving and bulletproof groundstrokes. Federer solved them. It was the fourth time in eight Wimbledon finals that he lost the first set. He won three of those matches and almost won the fourth, coming back from two sets to none down against Rafael Nadal in the 2008 final before losing at 9-7 in the fifth set.
That 2008 final was a devastating loss, Federer's first in six years at Wimbledon and an apparent turning point. He'd lose the No. 1 ranking to Nadal soon after, fail to medal in the Olympic singles tournament that summer and be written off as too old for his hard-charging young rivals, Nadal, Murray and Novak Djokovic. Sunday's title, though, is Federer's fifth major title since that loss, or as many as Djokovic has won in his career, and it will regain for Federer the No. 1 spot in Monday's rankings, which Djokovic took by winning this title a year ago.
Federer's great form in the last two matches here suggests he is capable of winning more majors and sticking around at No. 1. His close escape in the third round and his back troubles in the fourth also suggest he could start struggling again soon. Whatever happens from here, though, Federer has vindication, a more formidable record of 17 major titles and the record for the most weeks at No. 1, ahead of his hero, Pete Sampras.
For Murray, it was his best showing in a major final, under the most pressure he's faced. Djokovic, Nadal and Federer won the first three majors of this year. There's no reason Murray, playing as well as he did these last two weeks, can't snag the fourth in New York in two months. Murray's great form at this tournament also makes him a leading contender for the medals available on these courts for the Olympic tournament in a few weeks. All four of the top four men who rule over the sport will be back here then, playing singles and doubles.
Murray, a rabid sports fan who said after the match that Federer and Nadal are in contention for the mythical title of greatest athlete of all time, may feel a little unlucky to have to play the other three in so many big matches. But he seemed up for the challenge, with his head held high after the match. And so what may be the greatest era in this sport continues later this summer, with the big four never before playing on what looks like such a level playing field — even if the one with the biggest resume, Federer, is looking down on the other three in the rankings for the first time in over two years.

Many kids ride the bus to school, but soon many college students will be able to do the same thing.
Administrators do not want a lack of transportation to prevent people from getting an education.
Cristy Wilkinson knows what it is like to not have a ride to school, "When I first started coming here I ended up having to walk, yeah, I walked for the first couple of years," Wilkinson said.
Wilkinson is now working on her graduate degree at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College.
She got her bachelor's degree after two years of walking to school.
She now has a car, but is glad to hear others will have some help.
"I think it's awesome because a lot of the students can't make it because they don't have a way, they don't have anybody to bring them, or they don't have a vehicle," Wilkinson said.
In fact, administrators at the college say that's one of the biggest challenges keeping students from furthering their education.
"It's very difficult to plan your schedule, to get to class, when you don't have the transportation to get there, you can't count on it," Larry LaFollette said.
So for a small fare, SKCTC students in Harlan County will soon be able hitch a ride on one of three buses, or large vans that will travel up and down highway 119.
The pilot project between the college, state transportation officials, and the Harlan County Community Action Agency will begin to at the beginning of the Spring semester in January.
Officials hope to expand routes across the county as demand grows.
The cost will be around 12 dollars per week.
School officials urge any student who thinks they might need a ride to school to sign up during Spring registration.

"If you want to know virtually anything about the "why" of cooking, read Harold McGee. Along the way, he'll teach you the "how." — ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
"McGee's writing is broad, yet detailed at the same time, scientific, but comprehensible."— CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
"A great addition to any cookbook library. It picks up where many cookbooks leave off. The "How's" and "Why's" of a dish's success - or failure - are often a mystery, but McGee sheds light on many of those mysteries to make us more informed in the kitchen and ultimately, better cooks." — SEATTLE WEEKLY
"McGee will banish any romantic notions about cooking with his fast-draw expertise… With an eminently pragmatic approach to cooking and a user-friendly précis of a lifetime's devotion to the kitchen, this is an invaluable addition to food literature."

Few of his previous works would be suitable for the everyday cook. This one is. How many people would wade through his earlier erudite discussions of protein strings, just to get a practical morsel for the kitchen? Few indeed.
This is a book that distills Mr McGee's work into a single practical volume. It may be "the size of a brick", but so what? Nor do I find the typography and layout disconcerting. I think they are ideal: they send you to the essential points immediately.
I have sent this book to some of my friends who would never read even think to peruse Mr McGee's previous opuses. But I am sure they will at least leaf through this one.
The above could have been forgiven, if the book had a decent layout.Read more ›
if I could own just one book by McGee, it would still be the justly famous [[ASIN:0684843285 On Food and Cooking], which is a hard act to follow. nonetheless, I find the new volume a welcome addition and I refer to it frequently.
one warning about the Kindle edition, however: the publisher made the index flat text without hyperlinks, so you can see what's in the book, but you can't get there from here. this is *REALLY* irritating; perhaps later editions will correct this lunacy.

Most photocopiers aren't on the internet and even if they are, the essential risk and impact attached to failure is far lower than that of a business PC running XP.
I don't see how the Apple one even maps to the XP question. The problem is with support of an essential piece of software being discontinued.
Google Wave was free and never sold or supported as a piece of business software as far as I know. Apart from that, the Wave protocol is open and you were able to migrate the content to open alternatives at the time.
Windows XP is an essential piece of software to many, replacement of which is neither trivial nor free. It's almost exclusively used on machines that frequently (or continuously) require internet access and the software didn't come for free in most cases. You can call OEM versions free, but we know that's not exactly true.
The article seems to make the point that, unless MS extends support, it's only fair (and possibly legally enforceable) to make MS share the source with parties that want to support XP and offer assistance to such parties. Or, just release the source outright.
Social media simply haven't matured to the point where it makes sense to standardize interfaces and infrastructure. Since all of them are allowed to use proprietary interfaces, there is no chance of integration and people are forced to move to the same network to find each other. As soon as I'd be able to read your Facebook post on my Google+ and you'd be able to read and respond to my tweets from your Linkein account, that need goes away. Stuff like RSS was a nice try, but that only carries the content, not the entire service.
But I don't think it will happen anytime soon, at least not without government interfering and I don't think the times are very conductive to that. The reason I say that is the battle for the app space. Suppliers need their proprietary protocols, so they can force you to use their apps and that's one of the ways to control what services and advertisements reach you. Ask yourself: why do we have protocols like XMPP, but do we still need Whatsapp, MSN, ICQ, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Google Hangouts, etc. etc.? Again, the protocol doesn't effectively carry the service, but that doesn't mean the services shouldn't support the standard. The companies providing these services have too strong an incentive not to standardize, that outshines any and all incentives that might cause them to.
If the research shows that relaxing, avoiding stress and using your brain to think about imaginative things is healthy - say so. I'll happily increase the time I spend fishing and soaking up sun at the beach while reading a scifi novel.
None of that stuff has anything to do with religion per se though.
"'Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true." -- Poloniouius, in Willie the Shake's _Hamlet, Prince of Darkness_

Not Responsible For Deceased Spouse's Tickets
AUTHOR: Retired Lawyer - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, May 03, 2013POSTED: Friday, May 03, 2013
You are never responsible for a dead relatives' traffic tickets nor other non-community asset debts. The estate of the dead person has some responsibility to pay the estate debts out of the estate only, but kids or husbands or wives are not obligated to use their own funds to pay the debts of the dead person. Companies that try to force you to do this are liars who are only interested in getting their money and willingly trick you into thinking you have to come up with the money.
All military have access to JAG officers who can advise them about legal affairs. I advise all to avail themselves. Also most courts now allow you to put the tickets back on the docket and appear in court to argue for more time or a deferral or ask for community service in lieu of payment of fines. In Washington you are also able to get a deferal every seven years for a moving violation and one for a non-moving, but you still have to pay for the face value of the ticket.

.menu .current_page_item a {
color: #fcff00 !important;
@alchymyth Thanks a lot, never thought to look over there, can I also use a child theme to change this? or do I just have to change the css on this?
for changing this in a child theme's css, you would need to know in which sequence the styleshets are called.
it should be possible.
in extreme you could try and use the
!important in the styles to force the formatting;
.menu .current_page_item a {
color: #fcff00 !important;

I've been crafting since forever, knitting fanatically since about 2006 and designing since 2008. When not knitting, I teach university students about primates and play with my horses.View all patterns by designer (93) »
So, you're probably wondering about the name of this one. A Pas de deux in horseback riding refers to when two people ride their horses in different formations, often side by side. The way the ribbing moves in this pattern it reminds me of that.
This is a very stretchy top-down sock pattern - because people like to know these things ahead of time :).
