C'mon ANDY

[Mick Mac]

C'mon Andy.

New tears please.

[woodrot]

bloddy hell, theres only Joko left in the really big hitters league. What can possibly go wrong ?

[*Bob*]

Looks like it's just going to be Murray playing himself in the final this year.

Still don't feel 100% confident he can pull-off a victory though.

[Annette Curtain]

Whether he wins or not, I still like him.

There, said it.

[red devil]

That's technically possible *Bob*, if he kept serving double faults...

[numbers]

time to follow nivenj1 again I s'pose.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Never unfollow nivenj1 numbers. He was on blistering form for Murrays last match. Beat Irvine Welsh comprehensively.

Still, world number 1 and 2 remain in the tourney and a few toughies enroute to the final for Murray. One game at a time.

This chap, Keith Meisner ran the 2010 Barry Barry Road Race...tenuous local connection to get behind Murray!

Tennis - never played myself- but how hard can it be ? hitting a big soft ball over a low net with a big racket, usually against a 15 year old kid. pfft. I would like to see Andy Murray wrestle the Undertaker- that would show how good he was.

[aquarius moon]

Phew!

He's finally woken up & is getting his act together.

Just hope it lasts.

[Saturn 5]

Yep he's woken up from his slumber!

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Jings, crivens and help-Ma-boab...Git in there.

[Salsaboy]

Bloody hell he did well.

[Otta]

The penultimate game wad a cracker.

[red devil]

Is there any truth in the rumour that Tim Henman will only be commentating up to the semi-finals?..

[Mick Mac]

RD did Tim never make the final ?

[Otta]

No, he never got past the semis. Goran Ivani?evi? beat him in his last one I think.

[Jeremy]

You copied-and-pasted that, didn't you?

[*Bob*]

bien s?r he did

jeez you're not wrong. he was explosive yesterday, 'pumping it up your paella coloured dung funnel'. Kinda wish I'd not tuned in for that one mind.

(HAVE to unfollow him when it's not tennis else tiresome smugfest with Caitlin 'look at MEEEEEEEEE' Moran is enough to make me want to stab myself repeatedly with a blunt knife)

Tim Henman was never in the same league as Andy Murray. I never understood the hype around Henman - an average jobbing player at best.

[Ted Max]

TH was indeed not in same league as AM but "an average jobbing player at best"? He was a lot more than that.

Top 20 ranking for nearly a decade, and much of it in top ten. 28 ATP finals, 11 wins. 6 grand slam semis - one of them at RG which was pretty remarkable for him.

He made the absolute most of a pretty limited set of physical attributes.

[Help-Ma-Boab]

I see, I only go onto Twitter for the tennis "commentary" from Niven and Welsh, dont see the other stuff.

DJKQ: Think Henman was more than a jobbing pro. 4 grand slam semis, upto 4 in world at one point I think, ?7m in winnings and several ATP tourney wins. Id call a jobbing pro somebody who is around 25-35 in world, gets into the third round of tourneys, and has a once in a lifetime game knocking out a top 5 to get to the quarters of a slam once or twice in that time. Still make a packet of $$ all the same. (The above was done from the top of my head without wiki so may be some innacuracies in the detail)

ETA: cross post with TM

Look, Ted and HmB

What you don?t understand is that DJKQ has played tennis to (almost) the highest levels over the years so knows the score ? reputationally as well as officially ? on the players over the years. So if it?s good enough for her...
