Murray serving to stay in the set

Fed holds. Muzza serving to stay in the second set.
Murray has had his chances in the 2nd set. And he hasn't been denied by brilliant Federer winners or anything - he just hasn't landed them when he needed to.

Fuck me Fed is making me suffer.
Think Andy will do this tbh.
Federer is playing the best and worst tennis out of the two players. Murray is just the usual 7.5/10
If Federer steps it up, Murray hasn't got a chance. But as long as the match goes on, you'd think Murray would have a physical advantage. Trade-off tbf.

Nah, giving people 'breaks' is why we never produce champions. It's the gallant loser syndrome, again and again. Analysing the game and saying he was beaten by the better player is one thing but then to actually feel sorry for him? It doesn't help the cycle.

Yeah that was a silly argument, I mean, on his part.
And it means Greatest Of All Time. :bow:
Again, Murray didn't force Federer to have to play his very best tennis. The first set now just looks like a bit of a warm-up. Even the crucial game in the third set came after Muzza blobbed a 40-0.
McNamara That Ghost...
08-07-2012, 05:46 PM
Yeah he tanked a few. As for Muzza, I'm ok with him winning the U.S Open now, unless Fed has killed him off completely.

You can't be criticising Murray for crying, surely? I'll assume you're criticising the media and others.
Murray is clearly not satisfied with being a gallant loser. Murray isn't as naturally gifted as federer and probably the other 2 above him in the rankings. He seems to be doing the best with what he has - and I think he should be proud of his efforts in this tournament.
I also think this was his best chance of winning a grand slam. Wouldn't be surprised if he can't clinch one now.
The apocalypse could come at any moment. It will leave nothing but cockroaches, and a mixed-doubles final involving Lisa Raymond and Leander Paes. Giive someone else a chance!

08-07-2012, 06:30 PM
Also Maccy, this is why I doubted Federer's chances. Here or at any other Slam.
Benneteau's not exactly an up-and-comer (and Federer will probably still win) but he just can't dominate and hit through opponents any more. Not only is the depth in men's tennis getting better every year, every surface is becoming more or less the same. Everything has levelled out and for someone with a quick game like Federer, it's a disadvantage. He's obviously not able to stay at an incredibly high level for long periods either these days.
No Berdych or Tsonga to threaten his half this year, but it won't necessarily have to be someone that good.

Murray had the chances in the second set. It's the difference between great and very good though. Murray still doesn't convert enough break points and against the three guys above him, he has to take at least one. Federer, Djokovic and Nadal can play well below their standard, but will take their solitary chance ruthlessly. Murray doesn't kill his opponent off when he has an opportunity. It happened against Nadal last year, Djokovic in January and now Federer. As soon as Federer got in front, he was in full control. Lendl's main advice to Murray should be to turn into Tsonga on break points and just go mental, because he'll continue to be the almost man otherwise.
Castle was truly awlful as well. Just let Boris do it on his own.
Anyway, come on Olympics Tennis :bow:.

It is indeed.

Murray's a badass. He did the first bit right by getting through to the final as soon as Nadal went out. We only half-expected him to do it, but he did, so he deserves some recognition for that. I do think he injured himself in that third set, in that 20 minute game, and that set the tone for the rest of the match. However, he didn't admit to it, and nor did he crumble- he's come on leaps and bounds in these last couple of years.
Federer's done it, fair play to him. However, I do think that the tennis that the likes of Djokovic, Tsonga, Murray and to some extent Nadal play is thoroughly more enjoyable.
Here's to Murray reaching that pinnacle of success very soon! :trophy:

Olympics Tennis is still best of three sets (apart from the final), which is disappointing.
Could lead to a surprise winner again. Maybe.
Nadal should be less knackered than the other top guys, despite his knee problems.
McNamara That Ghost...

If Fed gets to play under the roof, he'll probably win it. I wouldn't have thought there would be a huge surprise winner, like 2004.
How is the draw made, same way as any other event?
McNamara That Ghost...
08-07-2012, 07:11 PM
Break point for Paes/Vesnina. :popcorn:

Paes cocks up the set point, still another one to go.

Paes/Vesnina take the second set 7-5. :bow:

It's less prestigious than a Masters Series tournament (in terms of points) and has the four-players-per-country limit, but is otherwise pretty much the same as a normal ATP event.
You'd think only Tsonga could spring somewhat of a surprise really, with it being familiar territory for the players. Olympic magic could be in the air though and there's always some odd results.
McNamara That Ghost...
08-07-2012, 07:42 PM
Interesting, so Muzza/GB should at least avoid Nadal/Spain again then, until the final. Having said that, he'd get Djokovic/Serbia, which isn't much better.
I want Rosol to be in it!

God knows. Probably gone all the way through the list. He'll be teaming up with Navratilova again before you know it....

I suppose he'll keep going until he completes the career Grand Slam in the mixed doubles (at RG). He'll destroy Santoro's record (and caption when he is on TV) of most GS appearances.

He'll be left teaming up with himself before long. Shame Mansour Bahrami (:bow:) pretty much does that in every over45s match anyway :lol:

Bahrami. :lol:
I didn't get to see much of him this time around, truly the Denilson (not our one) of tennis.
This Andy Murray interview has been replayed once too often. We're straying into ambulance-chasing territory now.

At least they've arrived at the right conclusion and are no longer holding out-dated beliefs.

Really hoped Murray would win it. The longer it takes to get the first grand slam win the harder it will get. Maybe one year Fed, Nadal and Djokovic will be injured.
Also isnt Murray an Arsenal fan? If so then :bow:

A TENNIS dimwit had to delete her Twitter account after being bombarded with abuse for asking: “Is Wimbledon always held in London?”
Georgia Ford, 21, posted the question online as Andy Murray lost the final on Sunday.
But her query was re-tweeted 7,000 TIMES.
One person called the question “the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”.
Georgia, of South Shields, Tyneside, later said she thought Wimbledon was just the name of the competition and it moved each year.

Well done to Muzza for winning 17 slam titles in one go. Can't argue with that kind of greatness.

He won the hearts of the millions......and the millions in the nation
