The Tennis Thread

[chippy17]

gutted Rog lost but not surprised, always looked like he was playing catch up whilst Andy playing well and brimming with confidence, dare I say it looked a bit old and tired out there footwork fell apart at the end, serve never really got going or was not allowed to etc

I will of course support Murray on Sunday, I think he really can win, very similar styles but I think Murray has better touch than Djoker and I think that will be the difference

[chimster]

Brilliant stuff. Well done Andy, now finish the job on Sunday!

Another signature win for Murray to make a complete mockery of that stupid Tim Henman mk2 comparison threads doing the rounds here for the last few years

Win it for Scotland Murray

Defo British, well possibly until Sunday afternoon...

[amare32]

At least one of them has a chance to win something major instead of that England football team...

Just thought I'd take a look at the ladies tennis final. Why is Azarenka making firework sound effects every time she hits the ball. Shouldn't opponent/ref tell her to shut up?!. Unbearable, turned it off after the 1st 2 games!!

[anonymous-user]

I appreciate that Azarenkamade took a dubious medical break in the semi but once again the crowd are ruining this gamejust like they did in the Murray/Federer game at the AP finals at the O2. Could the crowd be any more in favour of Li? Cheer when the player you support plays a good shot and wins a game but dont cheer when his/her opponent double faults etc. This new phenomenen in tennis ruining it for a neutral spectator...

Are there any neutral spectators? That noise has turned most against her.

Edit : And after that fall, 100% of the crowd.

While I don't disagree, the spectators have paid £££$$$ to watch a final so they're entitled to do as they please obviously within reason.

I don't think hanging around with that clown Redfoo has helped her cause either

[MiniMan64]

Up and ready, GO MURRAY!

[Justices]

Here we go. Andy in 4 BRUTAL sets. He will be doing everything he can to ensure this doesn't go the distance. Federer match a perfect tune-up for this final!

LET'S HAVE IT!

[MiniMan64]

Heavy going already, some serious rally shots going on

[hornetrider]

Couple of good saves from Murray so far. Novak looks to have the edge at this point.

[MiniMan64]

Lots of unforced errors from Novak.

Lots of failed first serves from Andy.

If Andys gonna win this he needs to start getting a few more in

[hornetrider]

Although that said Novak is making plenty of unforced errors.

[anonymous-user]

Am a little late to the party, slept in. Seems I joined at a good time though.

[Justices]

GET THE fk IN THERE!

[DoubleSix]

Murray does look to be in peak physical form and has banished all the outbursts of frustration, which seem to be transferring to 'vich.

Impressive.
