Murray v Rafa

[Narnia]

No, not that Rafa. Nadal. 1st set to Murray. Looks like this will go on a long time.

Fireworks have stopped play!

COME ON TIM

[????]

...and through. Was winning easily anyway.

[Keef]

Hopefully he'll go out next round.

[Mick Mac]

Jeez the forum is in depressing mood today.

Burns Night hangovers?

[????]

I'm joyfully miserable, smiling and everything:))

[Keef]

I'm in a great mood, I'm just celebrating by disliking Murray musch as I always do. (not least because he never seems to be in a good mood)

[SteveT]

So he's a grumpy young man..........no just a miserable jock who hasn't had his two doubles fix yet.

Well let's just hope that fcuking miserable Jock wins it for England.

Love Rafa, like Murray - I would have been happy with either outcome. Both great, entertaining players to watch. Andy hasn't dropped a set yet and may it continue. Oh but roll on my favourite tournament in the UK!! :))

[Mick Mac]

Uk?. Do you mean the All England Lawn Tennis Championships. They are in the Uk and they are open to foreigners so Murray can play.

[SteveT]

Does anyone know whether Murray won or not?

[Keef]

Rafa pulled out injured, so Murray "won".

[????]

You may not like him Keef but Murray was hammering Rafa when he pulled out as Rafa, more generoulsy than you, acknowledged

[Mick Mac]

meaow...

(thats a cat noise)

[????]

How's Hewitt doing Mick??? ;-)

[Mick Mac]

Who?

[Keef]

You may not like him Keef but Murray was hammering Rafa when he pulled out as Rafa, more generoulsy than you, acknowledged

He's a great player, and I was being naughty, but hammering a player who is clearly not fit isn't quite hammering Rafa at top form.

For the record, I'd be surprised if Murray doesn't win at least one grand slam in his career (especially when Federer retires). Doesn't mean I'll start liking him, or cheer it as a brit win or anything.

I never cheered Tiger Tim either, for some reason, for me, nationality doesn't come in to it with Tennis, or most individual sports. I just like who I like.

Murray looking good. tip him to lift this slam. Would be great for scottish tennis, and our womans numer 1, Elana Baltacha she's doing not to badly either.

[Weegee]

I thought it was a great result yesterday. Ok Rafa Nadal wasnt 100% fit...but even so Murray would have still beaten him on this form...(ie look at their 2008 US Open Semi final which Murray won convincely.

I think Andy Murray is the best thing to happen to BRITISH tennis in a long time.

At the age of 22 he has reached a US Open final, Wimbledon semi final, Australian Open semi final as well as a career high ranking of 2 in the world.

I really hope (and I think he will) acheive that breakthrough and land that 1st Grand Slam

Paddy Power have put him as odds on favourite for the australian open now!!

[jimmy two times]

He needs to win a grand slam for him to really get to the next level. I think he has the game but I'm not sure if mentally he has it in the big semis and finals. A Grand Slam win would be the springboard for more.

[SteveT]

I don't mind him being miserable if he wins!

[jimmy two times]

I'd prefer to call him focused.

[????]

He's a miserable git who wears Fred Perry...I can relate to him (tennis aside obviously).
