The Tennis Thread

[Lord Knows]

Enjoyable Murray was quality, Federer was Federer Exceptional. A tennis players body usually starts falling apart around his age.

That's where they get it from then!

Anyone been following Murray's column on the beeb website? Been some good stuff on there this tournament.
Here is his sunday evening post:

Been very good reading material through the tournament.

I enjoyed watching the Scot getting beat. He hates England, and I don't think much of him.

What was it the Scot said about always wanting England to lose...:icon_smile::icon_smile::icon_smile:

 

[slink]

That bit alone probably won him a few hundred thousand fans...

I don't think so Wolf Hunting because there are so many people about who spout complete bullshit like MP below, who don't understand a joke and think Murray hates the English. Don't think Murray will be too bothered though, you can tell he is grateful of the support he receives.

It's quite funny how easily offended people get. They are the same ones who go on about how boring he is and when he actually cracked a joke they got all upset!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If he had actually said it that would be understandable

That's not very kind. And it's not very nice either.
He's British and achieved something that hasn't been done since around 1937 or something.

It's a fine line between hoping Scotland loses, Wales loses and everyone loses except England. Unless the Home Internationals ever get back up and running , but outside of that, it's just a bit myopic and more than a bit sad.
We tend to look sideways at people in Scotland when you hear the awful shite of Celtic and Ranger's fans when talking about each other.
So it's disappointing to see you getting pleasure out of a British person playing a great game of tennis and almost winning, but not quite...

He hates England so much that he lives here. With his English girlfriend. The hatred must be eating him up inside.

He must be the Scottish equivalent of GLASGOW

Another great chance for Andy Murray to win a Grand Slam tonight. Really hope he does it to cap an amazing summer for British sport.

Oh, and I think the forum needs a tennis thread, so I've done some admin-type merging!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What channel is it on apart from pay sky? Eurosport?

 

[Kenny]

I can see him losing in 4 after winning the first set.

Hope I am wrong.

Djokovic really hasn't been tested in this tournament yet - and seems to hate the wind so I'm clinging to those straws for now!!

I think it's Murray's best chance to win a Grand Slam thus far - he'll need to be at his best though.

Awesome stuff, thanks. Had been pondering making a thread for tennis-related waffle, but problem solved!

I'm going to have no fingernails left by the end of the night. Really hope Murray can do this.

 

[Langers]

Game on!

Come on, Andy!!!!

 

[Kenny]

Its a tad windy

 

[Langers]

3 break points in the first game - lovely.

 

[Langers]

And he takes it! Great start.
