Andy Murray

[goldenecitrone]

When was he ever ahead of Nadal?

Christ. He's not fit to tie Rafa's laces.

We'll see how good he is today. Rafa's playing brilliantly, if Murray gets a set he'll be doing very well. Two sets and he could just do it. But it would have to be the game of his life. What do you reckon?

 

[Flashman]

I'd be surprised if it's anything other than straight sets Nadal, but I'm hoping for a good match at least.

 

[kained&able]

Yeah murray is not good enough to compete against the best in the world yet.
Nadel and federer are a different class.

[marty21]

i think nadal will edge it, but it could be close

I think it's very sad the class system still has such an effect in tennis; one of the last bastions of middle England Come the revolution all this bollocks about the 'better man' winning will be done away with. I mean, how on earth do you rate the 'better man' anyway. Oh sure, they may have won more matches, more tournaments, more Grand Slams, but is that really what makes a man better? If it is, then I'm not sure I want our boys taking part in this sham of a sport.

In other news: "what's that, Lord Cam is actually going to watch a match? Down with the rain; drown out any chance of enjoyment that fool may think he has!!".

This summer sucks

 

[Dan U]

Nadal to win in 4 i reckon.

 

[rekil]

Murray will have the crowd behind him for the first set and will probably be competitive for it. But if he loses it, his confidence will evaporate, Nadal will get into gear, and the mob will be cowed like the venal curs they are. Rafa won't choke when all he has to do is serve out the match that's for sure. 3-0 Nadal I reckon if he's not injured.

 

[rekil]

Easy.

 

[goldenecitrone]

Nadal is awesome, unrelenting, an irresistible force. Should be a cracking final again with Federer, the only person who can tame the wild Majorcan.

predictive win.

 

[gunneradt]

very good

do they cheat then?

 

[rekil]

I'm watching the Nadal v Murray Toronto match. It should be a bit closer but I hope Rafa batters him off the court again. I can't stand the fucker celebrating opponent's unforced errors and stuff.

 

[mrkikiet]

nadal wins, again.

 

[Yoj]

yup! nadal is unstoppable atm!

 

[stavros]

Just pulled out of Queens.

Blimey, that'd sell a few tabloids.

 

[rekil]

nadal wins, again.

Whats that, 28 matches and 5 tournaments in a row. Murray played quite well, but Nadal won all the big points. He needs to sort himself mentally, throwing a strop rarely works and only looks cool when Russians like Safin and Youzhny do it.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Murray makes his first Masters final and goes 6th in the world.

Well done that lad

 

[DexterTCN]

Indeed.

Progressing nicely.

 

[marty21]

Murray makes his first Masters final and goes 6th in the world.

Well done that lad

he's having a good run

 

[Lord Camomile]

Andy obviously has a higher profile but he gets nervous playing with Jamie.

He wants to do well for his brother and puts himself under pressure but Jamie is the experienced doubles player and the leader on court.

Bless!

Ah, patronising the 6th best tennis player in the world, makes one feel superior

 

[marty21]

he's facing Novak Djokovic in the final - probably has a better chance of beating him that he has of beating nadal

 

[DexterTCN]

Agreed, he'd have no chance against Nadal just now especially in a final.

What is he 21? He was on the news this morning, doesn't even shave properly yet and to be hanging around the top 10 and holding his own is impressive.

 

[strung out]

serving for the title now...

 

[goldenecitrone]

Djokovic serving to stay in the match. Come on Murray!

 

[Lord Camomile]

He's done it!

 

[goldenecitrone]

Well played. Mint!

 

[butchersapron]

He's won?

 

[marty21]

that's a big win, just below major level - beat the no.3 in the world...

 

[goldenecitrone]

7-6 7-6 to Murray.
