Andy Murray: Live In-Running....

[*Bob*]

Fair play to the hook-nosed, one-legged, slack-jawed, left-handed, shop-soiled, ex-convict Scotch egg, but it was not to be.

Tim will be back - next year.

[Keef]

I was starting to warm to him slightly, then he played a really cocky shot in the first set, after which I really wanted him to get crushed! He will win grand slams though, he is a great age, with Roger probably only having couple of years left.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm about to display some outrageous ignorance: it's a long time since I've watched/played tennis, but one used to have to win by two clear games. What's with a 7-6 win?

[Keef]

If a set goes to 6 games all, it goes to a tie breaker, the winner of which wins the set 7-6. If the match goes to a final set, there is no tie breaker, and it must be won by 2 clear games, however long that takes.

[Narnia]

I suppose Murray is Scottish now?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Cheers!

You say that like it's a bad thing.

COME ON TIM

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Scottish Loser...(6)....and building up our English hopes, as well.

Teaser...and Nadal will be back next year....

p.s. Feel free to resurrect this thread next year if "our" Andy improves....:)

[david_carnell]

I'm resurrecting it now!

Are people watching this mens final?! 2 sets all. 13-12 to the Fed! Epic.

[reetpetite]

I am its great.

[indiepanda]

the tension is killing me - both are playing so well, but I want Roddick to win it despite him knocking Murray out.

[reetpetite]

Me too!

[indiepanda]

urgh... Federer nails it again. How disappointing.

[reetpetite]

What a shame but a great match anyway.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Fabulous Final.

Hard Luck Andy.

Roger you really are the greatest and I've seen Laver/Borg/McEnroe/Agassi/Sampras/Nadal et al...

[Jeremy]

Federer is a good player... a great player... but I just don't like the guy.

People say he's humble, but he really isn't. He says "I'm not playing tennis to break records", but then seconds later turns up with a jacket with "15" written on it. As if his various ridiculous outfits and "RF" embroidered gear isn't irritating enough.

[Keef]

To be fair, I thought he said he does want to break records, but it's not about beating a certain person (Sampras). I think he comes across as okay, but I really wanted Roddick to win that yesterday, what a good try!

[*Bob*]

Gotta hand it to The Feds for his walk-on outfit.

If Michael Jackson had ever gone to G-A-Y, that's what he would have worn.

[Jeremy]

Having a special jacket prepared for when you win, just to show everyone how great you are... it's all a bit vulgar. And yeah, his walk-on outfits are laughable. Some people say that it's due to sponsorship obligations, but I don't remember anyone else walking on in a white 3-piece suit with their initials on it.

I bet he has pyjamas with a picture of his face on the front, and a caption saying "Roger's the greatest". Perhaps a crossed-rackets (racquets?) motif on the back, with his signature beneath it (in gold).

[Ted Max]

I don't expect anything of successful sportspeople other than they are good at what they do. Self-doubt isn't really a long suit in any of them.

Gavin (C'MON ROG) Rossdale, though. Twice. There's no excuse for that.

[*Bob*]

I wasn't particularly bothered either way on Federer.. but I completely went off him altogether after seeing him walk out on centre court dressed, to be frank, like a complete penis.

I wanted Roddick to win from then on - even though he has eyes like George W Bush.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Dress sense apart I believe Roger is the personification nae embodiment of the perfect Sporstman.

Excellent at his Sport, a great communicator and a tremendously nice Guy, as well.

Modest, humble, successful thats more than enough for some to dislike him.

An absolute credit to his Sport.

[*Bob*]

Still looks like a nob though.
