C'mon ANDY

[Mick Mac]

He can do it. And for those who don't want him to win for whatever reason, it will be another 50 years before we see this again. So get behind him.

[Salsaboy]

Even though he's bound to get beaten, I do think this is the year that he deserves to win, diamond jubilee etc. Just like Virginia Wade won it in the Queens silver jubilee year. So....... c'mon Andy, you miserable git.

[red devil]

Mick, keep up, Marray won yesterday...

[Mick Mac]

Faldo was a similar personality and its the determination that is needed to achieve. His dour Scottish accent doesn't help.

That got me thinking. On an all dayer playing golf yesterday, so anything could have happened...

He's not miserable - he's a laconic Scot with dry humour which most people don't get. There are plenty of vids of him larking about with interviewers and making jokes.

If you only ever watch tennis for two weeks a year then you're not really going to see the whole picture.

Let's face it, you've just come of court after a gruelling 3hour battle and you're expected to perform to the camera to make the public feel comfortable about you being a happy media friendly person? who gives a toss really - it should be about the sportsmanship of which there is plenty with AM.

It is unlikely he will beat Federer today, but he has beaten him several times before so it's not impossible. I will be cheering him on this afternoon.

Yer Come on Andy, you can do it, Come on .... SMIlLE.. Yeeeeeesssssss.

Fox.

He's basically Ivan Lendl, isn't he?

The ultimate acknowledgement of which being Lendl seeking him out as a coaching student - and Murray believing Lendl to be the man to help him.

[Annette Curtain]

Hmmmmm

Hope is such a painful thing at times like this

Still either way, he's got this far and he's beaten ol' doo-dahh 8 times in something like 16 games

So there is a chance

COME ON ANDY

Nette

Celtic went into administration

[Alan Medic]

Donegal Celtic? You don't think there's only one 'Celtic' do you?

[Otta]

Don't care either way. Good luck to him, as Federer is arrogant, but I won't swell with British pride if he wins, and if he was playing Nadal I'd cheer Nadal because he's way more entertaining than any of them.

[ratty]

Murray will choke again! Just like his mentor Lendl!

Looks like you are right, the way things are going.......

But still hoping for a miracle!

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Makin my way back tae ED, on 63 bus, rye hotel bound and a wee bitty gassed havin watched the match thus far at kings cross station. I think my old club mate could do it * drops name as Murray drops serve*

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Shame, over by the time I got off the bus. Still good British effort eh no!

[Salsaboy]

C'Mon Andy!!!!!

[woodrot]

cmon tim

C'mon Eileen

[StraferJack]

Anyone who disliked Murray before but "likes him now coz he cried" can do one

[Mick Mac]

The post match interview was a brave and humbling experience. It was similar to Rory McIlroy after the Masters debacle. It takes a lot of courage to face the music after such a disappointment.

[DulwichFox]

It's not all bad news...

He went for a post match drink in a local pub and discovered he is rather good at Darts..

Foxy.

I see that you're trying to extend your playground logic to the world of men's tennis.

Top level sports men and women have, by their very nature, arrogance. It is why these sports people compete with each other for the prize of being the very best.

[Salsaboy]

That and half a million quid in 2nd place prize money.

But I thought you were the very best UDT.
