Andy Murray

[bridge too far]

Is one set up against Federer in the final of the Toronto Masters.

 

Go Andy

[Saintandy666]

Yesssssssss, and he romped past Nadal yesterday and the day before that he destroyed Nalbandian who is on excellent form as of late.

[SuperMikey]

It's a shame in a way, as he can go abroad and be a real force and win all of these Masters and Open tournaments, but he can't reproduce that form in front of a home crowd.

Was pretty good at Wimbledon this year... and he won queens last year.

I think a lot of that is to do with the fact that he prefers hardcourt rather than grass court tennis.

[bridge too far]

And he wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[OttawaSaint]

Yes!! He lost the break he had after the rain delay, but hit back strong to win 7-5 7-5!!! Awesome...

[Saintandy666]

Murray is awesome on hard courts.

[skintsaint]

will never win a major....henman mk2

Let's have a virtual bet on it, shall we?

 

I'll bet £10 he wins a major before the Olympics and, if I'm wrong, I'll give a tenner to a local charity.

 

Will you match me?

[skintsaint]

I dont gamble but put the bet on at a bookie and you will get better odds...

[Appy]

He will win the US open in my opinion.

[hypochondriac]

Yep. He will win the US open in the next few years. Still a whining miserable Sweaty though.

Dammit....

[jawillwill]

She didn't specify which Olympics to be fair. BTF, whatever you do, DO NOT give the money to chairty. You could still get out of having to do that yet!

hehehe. Doh.

[jawillwill]

hehehe. Doh.

 

He's got another semi and Federer is out...

[The Cat]

I watched some of his match last night, started terribly but then at 5-1 down in the second set everything seemed to click and he just waltzed through the rest of the game. Impressive, but he'll need to cut out the slow start if he wants to reach the final.

[OttawaSaint]

Just made it into the final.

[St Chalet]

He has developed a backbone this year!

[bridge too far]

hehehe. Doh.

 

I'd forgotten I made that wager but I'm using the defence suggested by JWW

[Saintandy666]

Yet another Grand Slam final for Murray. Can he do it this time?!

[PhilippineSaint]

We need a poll for how many sets the final will last and whether he turns Scottish or stays British

 

Would like it to be Murray but head says Djokovic in 5 and Murray's a Jock again

Hightlight has been the tater saying, "up until this point, Djokovic has been ruthless with his length"

[SO16_Saint]

im loving the bird on the side of the court with her microphone moving back and forth.

 

almost as compelling as the game itself!

At risk of sounding a smart arse, why not just have 2x microphones?

[trousers]

4-2 Murray

[Colinjb]

Anyone else's sky feed being a bit jittery?

a case of job creation if ever i've seen it!

[trousers]

Back to 4-4

[SO16_Saint]

evenly matched or what!

[bridge too far]

I can see a late night in store for me.

 

Sod's Law dictates that my daughter will go into labour for her second child tonight and I'll have to race over in the middle of the match!

Easy!

[Saintandy666]

Wow, the tennis quality in this match is incredible and it is so so close.

[trousers]

Murray 2-0 in second set

[trousers]

3-0 Murray

[Saintandy666]

Is always lovely to break after serving first. Means you can quickly establish a nice 3-0 lead. Still only one break though and early days.

That's a "Daveism" if ever I've heard one!!
