bridge too far Posted 23 November, 2010 Posted 23 November, 2010 Playing Federer right now. On BBC2 Should be a cracking match!
bridge too far Posted 23 November, 2010 Author Posted 23 November, 2010 Don't be so negative FFS! He's British. Anyway, regardless of nationality, it should be a good match to watch.
hypochondriac Posted 24 November, 2010 Posted 24 November, 2010 Really really pleased to see him get destroyed. Come on Federer!
hypochondriac Posted 24 November, 2010 Posted 24 November, 2010 Don't be so negative FFS! He's British. Anyway, regardless of nationality, it should be a good match to watch. Wrong. It was sh*te and he got beaten badly. Fantastic.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 24 November, 2010 Posted 24 November, 2010 Wrong. It was sh*te and he got beaten badly. Fantastic. Why do you dislike him so much? is it because he's Scottish? is it because he's not nice/smiling character like Tiger Tim? Is it because he was quoted by the media as saying he didn't care about the English football team when he was a teenager? is it because he's one of the best British tennis players ever in the history of the sport?

He actually said he'd like anyone to win as long as it wasn't England. Oh and he's not a great, won nothing that matters in tennis world. I.E. Grand Slam event.

Oh and he's not a great, won nothing that matters in tennis world. I.E. Grand Slam event. I'd say getting to number 3 in the world in a period of Nadal and Federer two of the greatest players of all time means you are a pretty good player. Despite being hated by alot of small minded people who over react to something a teenager said to the media who made it into a big stoy and , i hope he wins a grand slam which i'm pretty sure he will. I'm pretty sure if he does win a grand slam the same people will be referring to him as British rather than Scottish :-(
Saint in Paradise Posted 24 November, 2010 Posted 24 November, 2010 As some of you "hate" him and he got trashed surely it was a good match to watch ? .
Turkish Posted 25 November, 2010 Posted 25 November, 2010 He actually said he'd like anyone to win as long as it wasn't England. Oh and he's not a great, won nothing that matters in tennis world. I.E. Grand Slam event. Lolz GS, i said this months ago and got slammed for it! http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?23605-Tennis
Hatch Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Murray in semi final of the OZ Grand Slam Where he will play Ferrer, who has just knocked out Nadal. Great chance to progress though to the final and maybe play Federer. And Murray has a great record against Federer.

hypochondriac Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Come on Federer, knock out the dour Scot. Smash him in three sets please. Failing that Ferrer can do the job.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Come on Federer, knock out the dour Scot. Smash him in three sets please. Failing that Ferrer can do the job. Racist :-(
Gingeletiss Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Don't be so negative FFS! He's British. Anyway, regardless of nationality, it should be a good match to watch. He's not, he's Scottish, by his own admittence, equally, I'm English, it said so on all my documentation, until the year pc kicked in. Plus he's *nob!
hypochondriac Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 Racist :-( He's a Scot and he is dour. Nothing racist about it.
Saintandy666 Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 The whole Scottish/English thing from that interview is STUPID. The interviewer provoked him by mocking him that Scotland didn't make it to the world cup. He says he is Scottish and British. Doesn't really matter to me anyway, I'm both.

Saintandy666 Posted 26 January, 2011 Posted 26 January, 2011 That isn't the reason I dislike him. You hate because he is Scottish? I don't hate him because he is scottish or has a slightly monotone voice... he is a tennis player, and a very good one and I respect that skill and I enjoy watching it as a spectator. To hate him is silly.

Saint_Jonny Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Fed out! Djok into the final. If Andy Murray makes it to the final hes got his biggest chance yet.
Hatch Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 Probably Murrays best chance to date of winning a Grand Slam Still got to beat two good players, but Fed and Nadal are not in his way. Must be a big boost.
keithd Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 He'll get to the final, have his best chance ever as has been said but choke in the final you heard it here first

Appy Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 If he is ever going to win a slam, this has to be it.
The Cat Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 I like Murray. He clearly doesn't hate English people, if he did he wouldn't live here and pay taxes and would probably reside abroad in a tax haven that was also more convenient located for the amount of traveling he has to do. A bit like Lewis Hamilton who naffed off as quickly as he could once he started earning a fat wedge. Yes he can be a bit dull but then he's spent his life playing tennis and training nearly every day from a very young age. I hope he wins this tournament because it will help promote the game further in our country and will hopefully inspire some youngsters to go on and do the same. I also find his game quite interesting to watch, at least he has some nuances to his play that many of the big hitting power players who just wallop every shot towards the corner don't have. His application in variations of spin and angles is quite unique.

krissyboy31 Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 If he is ever going to win a slam, this has to be it. Hasn't he got a better record v Federer than v Djokovic?
scott_saints Posted 27 January, 2011 Posted 27 January, 2011 18 month old article.... ? Because he has said he hates English people so many time since this article?
Hatch Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 He is being Scottish at the moment, just lost the first set.
alpine_saint Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 He is being Scottish at the moment, just lost the first set. Wow, Henman....er.....Murray in big match choker - what a surprise...
Hatch Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Bit more British grit about him this set - one each in sets now.
norwaysaint Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Wow, Henman....er.....Murray in big match choker - what a surprise... Yep, Murray has lost this by doing badly in the first set, just like England lost the Ashes by doing badly in their first innings.
Saint_Jonny Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Somehow won the 2nd set. Needs to step it up if hes to win this match.
Minsk Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 He struggled up until the tie-break in the 2nd set, then ripped Ferrer a new one. Ferrer fought back well in the 4th, but Murray won that tie-break easily as well. I would like to him to win the final, but don't think he will. Djokovic looked very good against Federer.
LGTL Posted 28 January, 2011 Posted 28 January, 2011 Wow, Henman....er.....Murray in big match choker - what a surprise... I hope you're not as premature with your wife as you are with anything Saints, Cricket or Tennis related.
alpine_saint Posted 30 January, 2011 Posted 30 January, 2011 Sorry, he clearly saved his choking for today.
saint lard Posted 30 January, 2011 Posted 30 January, 2011 The Scottish number one is struggling oncemore when it counts,thus far.
bridge too far Posted 30 January, 2011 Author Posted 30 January, 2011 Sorry, he clearly saved his choking for today. I thought at one point he was down and out v Ferrer (sp?). Can't see any fat ladies ATM but he'll need to raise his game significantly.
Hatch Posted 30 January, 2011 Posted 30 January, 2011 When things are not going his way , he just looks so despondent. That must be a real boost to his opponent.
bridge too far Posted 30 January, 2011 Author Posted 30 January, 2011 Yeah, as a tactical ploy he does need to address his body language. He wears his heart on his sleeve, they say. Still, he's just broken Djokovic's serve.
Verbal Posted 30 January, 2011 Posted 30 January, 2011 Come on Djokovic. Ah, I see the charm offensive is going well since your near-miss.
Window Cleaner Posted 30 January, 2011 Posted 30 January, 2011 I watched the first set and as Murray couldn't cash in on Djokovic's edginess it was pretty obvious that he'd lose.
