En usko millään tuohon sopuiluun, vaikka matsia en nähnyt. BBC:n tiedoista ottelun aikana muuten tässä:
*Federer 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 2-1 Del Potro
It seems the only way Del Potro can win and take Murray through with him is if he wins this set on a tie-break. Anyway, nobody seems to know for sure so we may as well concentrate on the tennis and worry about that later. Del Potro holds out with ease too.
Federer 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 2-3 Del Potro
OK. I'm told that, if Federer gets to four games in this set, he and Murray are through - regardless of whether Del Potro goes on to win the match. Del Potro holds - sorry for the lack of description but I'm spending more time on my calculator than I am with my keyboard.
*Federer 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 3-4 Del Potro
Del Potro is up against it now, and cannot afford to lose another game if he is to go through to the semi-finals. He comes mighty close here, saving three break-points before finally holding after successfully challenging a line call after sending a forehand fizzing down the line. I'm not sure he, or the crowd at the O2 Arena, knows what is going on but one thing is certain - this is a cracking match.
Federer 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 3-5 *Del Potro
Uh-oh. Suddenly Federer, and with him Andy Murray, is in big trouble at 0-30... followed by a double fault that leaves him 0-40 down. Del Potro hits long on the next point but Fed's next forehand is wide and Del Potro is one game away from a victory that would send him and Federer through, and cruelly knock out Murray.
Federer 2-6 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 Del Potro
Del Potro looks exhausted but he still has enough left in the tank to edge home, booming down two thumping serves at 30-all to clinch the win he needed, by the skin of his teeth. Del Potro and Federer are through - Murray is out, by the narrowest of margins - just one game. The crowd don't seem sure of what's just happened but hopefully somebody will tell them before they leave the O2 Arena.
