Andy Murray

[rekil]

The tosser played well, kept his head and deserved the win but the real tennis news today is Danish teen Caroline Wozniacki winning her first WTA title.

 

[DexterTCN]

Good week for him.

He certainly seems to have it in him.

 

[Lord Camomile]

What chances he and Jamie could get a couple of medals in Beijing (or three, if you count singles and doubles)?

 

[E.J.]

I'll have to admit but well done and well played Andy Murray for winning the Cinci ATP Masters cup. Especially after beating Novak Djokovic - according to most tennis experts the best player on the hardcourt surface. This win will do the lad from Dunblane's confidence a great boost.

Murray in the last few weeks has shown great on court temperament, composure & maturity which will be useful, with the Olympics & the US Open to come. It's not impossible in terms of his next target in his tennis development i.e. Become the 4th ranked player in the world by the end of the year & push on from there. I've always thought that AM has go the game & talent to win the Aussie & (or) the US Open. All it need is a few tweaks in his game i.e. getting his first serves in, plus performing consistency at top level.

Murray is currently playing in the US open q/f and is 2 sets to love up, might be reaching his first grand slam semi final

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Can't believe how well he's doing.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Apparently he played brilliantly in his last match. Looking briefly over the BBC live text report it looks like this one is hard but going fairly well. That's very briefly though

Good luck anyway Andy.

Pretty impressive... British players never do very well at all in the other Opens...

 

[strung out]

they never do well at wimbledon either!

 

[strung out]

though greg rusedski made the final of the US open a few years back remember, and sue barker won it once i think!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just lost the 3rd set and broken first game of the 4th - balls

 

[TrippyLondoner]

2-2 now in 4th set murray holding onto his serve-just, atm.

Ha ha bollocks that was probably me jinxing it!

 

[TrippyLondoner]

tense stuff

 

[Lord Camomile]

Finally got 5Live on - I'm committing to this now!

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Murray returns to his seat shaking his right fist"

I'm sure obscene gestures aren't allowed on court



e2a: now he's "wrestling and taming the stallion"

 

[marty21]

though greg rusedski made the final of the US open a few years back remember, and sue barker won it once i think!

she won the french open i think,

the murray brother is also in the mixed doubles final in the us open

 

[TrippyLondoner]

not lookin good now

 

[marty21]

looks like another 5 setter, the argentine has never played a 5 setter before, and murray has played plenty

 

[Lord Camomile]

Following up something mentioned on 5Live, just read this in the last match report:

Murray will rise two places in the world rankings to number four on the back of his progress at the US Open, providing Andy Roddick or Fernando Gonzalez does not win the title.

Dude could go 4th in the world!

Got a couple of break points...

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Murray played one 5 setter in this tournament after coming from 2-0 down again.

 

[Lord Camomile]

He's got it! That's the 4th break in this set isn't it?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Ah nice one andy!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Del Potro serving to stay in the match, Murray just needs one more break

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Argh. 5-5

 

[Lord Camomile]

Toss it

 

[TrippyLondoner]

some shot by del potro

 

[Lord Camomile]

Are you watching it somewhere?

 

[TrippyLondoner]

Skysports extra

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ach, lucky bastard. 5Live just lost the feed. Now they've gone to the news!!

FUCK OFF
