Andy Murray

[Steve Maskrey]

Congratulations to Andy Murray for winning his first major title yesterday in San Jose and moving up to 47th in the World Rankings, 7 places behind Henman. What made the victory more special was that he beat Andy Roddick in the semis and then Lleyton Hewitt in the final.

I predict that he'll move above Henman in the rankings by the end of the year :)

[shandon saint]

What I want to know is he a saints fan??!?! :***:

[Hazel1884]

What I want to know is he a saints fan??!?! :***:

He's been pictured many a time wearing his favourite footy team....

Barcelona though :P

[wee john]

Probably move above him after the next ranking tournament.

Quality, always loved tennis :wink:

He's got to start flying the Saltire though before those Southerners latch onto him.

[Nessie]

He's got to start flying the Saltire though before those Southerners latch onto him.

Too late Radio 1's sportsreader announced that Britains Andy murray was playing in the final during vernon kay's lie in yesterday morning.

[TheBigCheese]

He's got to start flying the Saltire though before those Southerners latch onto him.

Too late Radio 1's sportsreader announced that Britains Andy murray was playing in the final during vernon kay's lie in yesterday morning.

To be fair they said Scotland's Any Murray this morining.

[Watt saint]

i think it is a rule that you are not allowed to have national symbols on there equipment but Murray had half of what can be seen to be the saltire on the back of his T-shirt. unfortunatly he wrapped a union jack around him when someone handed it to him at the end

[Beej]

What I want to know is he a saints fan??!?! :***:


He's a Hibs fan I believe.

[anglesdavidson]

Aye, Tony Mowbray presented him with some award at the end of the year, possibly young sports personality, problem was it looked like he didn't have a clue who Mwbray was!

[Davey]

well done laddie

[Chansey]

His dad used to play for hibs so..... :x :roll:

[stanley saint]

fair chuffed for him ...

when he loses he's scotlands ... when he wins he's british

[Chansey]

when he loses he's scotlands ... when he wins he's british

come to expect that now. although from past interviews i'm sure he's trying to convince people he wants to be looked apon as purely scottish! None of this British crap! Fair play to him!

[Nick]

I'm sure I seen a saltire on the back of his top, in the final yesterday

[Victor]

I seem to remember one Forum member consistantly shooting Murray down in flames during Wimbledon last year saying that he was just a flash in the pan. Anyone admitting to some egg on the face???

For once the media appear to be getting the balance right between British/Scottish and they also seem to be saying dont expect Murray to win Wimbledon this year as its too soon and grass is far from his best surface. They must be learning at last!

[Selkirk Sainty]

a was lucky enough to play against him in 3 scottish finals, the fact i never doesnt beat him doesnt often come up when i tell this story tho

[Dev]

I seem to remember one Forum member consistantly shooting Murray down in flames during Wimbledon last year saying that he was just a flash in the pan. Anyone admitting to some egg on the face???

I'll admit to some! :oops:

It's more to do with his arsey behaviour in interviews, the way he comes across puts me right off him. I admit he has done well but he's not there yet.

Tennis is a bit rubbish anyway, I find it very tedious to watch.

I'm 37.

[Phil]

It's more to do with his arsey behaviour in interviews, the way he comes across puts me right off him. I admit he has done well but he's not there yet.
I think the guy's done brilliantly. The media come out and put all this pressure on him to succeed (like they did with Henman) and try to catch him out at interviews, but Murray wont have it. Well done to him.

[shandon saint]

british number one now...

Fair play to the guy...

I wonder what they will be calling henman hill this year....

Murray Mount?

[chopper]

british number one now...

Fair play to the guy...

I wonder what they will be calling henman hill this year....

Murray Mount?

Henman Hill hopefully

We surely don't Murray to go the same way as Henman and the English football team in building everyone's hopes up just to have them dashed at the semi final stage???

[Ronaldo]

Yeah you're right Mr Chopper I think we should just let him mature into a star without pressure from those down south.
He's obviously good.

[Victor]

I'll admit to some! :oops:
Very honest Dr D but it was not your good self. It was someone going into great length about Murrays play and giving it the...I play tennis so I know what im talking about peasants....that sort of attitude.

It just stuck in my mind due to the total arrogance of it.

[Victor]

Murray Mount?
As long as its not Murray Park...... :shock:

[Dunfermline Saint]

His game v Youzhny in on Setanta just now if any one is interested....

He won the first set 6-2 and it's 4-3 Youzhny in the second.

[Scobby_SJFC]

Into the final, not to shabby!!

[Scobby_SJFC]

And he wins, well done Andy!!

[Cagey]

Good news. Not a major competition but every title is a good title & may give him a crack at majors.

[slf]

who?

[Burghsaintee]

Am watching the Murray Nadal Final in Abu Dhabi on SKY Sports whilst listening to the Open Mic's on Radio Scotland.

Murray won the first set, but at the moment it is eeksy peeksy in the third set.

Come on Murray!!

[Steve Maskrey]

He's won! Congratulations Andy Murray. Pity it doesn't come with ATP points

[Burghsaintee]

Murray won it. Brilliant. Could be the start of a brilliant 2009 for him.

[Finners]

I will watch highlights some time - cant believe andy murray beat the top 2 again!

[Dennistoun Saint]

What a performance! That 7th game of the final set was absolutely amazing! He even managed a few smiles today too.

[541ntees]

well done andy!! would have got some well earned points for beating fed an nadal too-pity. Anyone think he can catch up with the big 2 this year?

[Steve Maskrey]

He's 3-1 up in the 3rd set against Roger Federer. He lost the first set 6-7 and won the 2nd 6-2 so he's looking good to beat Roger for the second time this year.

Just won the last set 6-2

[CynicalSaintee]

Unbe-bloody-leivable.

Who'd've thunk we'd produce one of the best tennis players in the world at the moment?

[Scobby_SJFC]

favourite for the Aussie open!!!

[Dave H]

Unbe-bloody-leivable.

Who'd've thunk we'd produce one of the best tennis players in the world at the moment?

born in Scotland, made in America/Spain. UK tennis coaching is awful and the funding is not there. Follow your dreams and they may come true, no matter what walk of life you are from, or what path you think is the right one - go for it :)

Wonder if he will win over the english press though :) that will be his toughest test. I guess he doesnt really care though, but would be good to get the nation behind him for the tournies.

[Dev]

Unbe-bloody-leivable.

Who'd've thunk we'd produce one of the best tennis players in the world at the moment?

A victory for pushy parents all over Scotland.

[saintj]

murray for the grand slam :)

[The ghost of Jim Morton]

Murray 2 sets up in final against Roddick:)

[saintj]

good to see murray continuing his fantastic form from last year

[wee john]

Did you hear the singing at Murray's match yesterday,

"we'll be coming, we'll be coming"

and 500miles.

QUALITY.

[Kevin]

Good win this morning, stuttered a wee bit in the first set but after that just ripped into the game!!

[saintj]

is the surface at the aussie cup the same as the surface at the us cup

[541ntees]

beats fed again 6-3 4-6 6-1.
plays either nadal or roddick in final

[Finners]

federer is pretty much andy's bitch

[saintj]

federer is getting moved aside by the younger 1's

andy is class

[saintj]

come on andy, get stuck intae nadal

[Over the Road]

bugger, he lost the 1st set 6-1!!

[perthsaint1884]

hes playing pretty pish

[saintj]

beats djorkovic 6-2 7-5 in final, within a couple 100 points of 3rd now

[Rodgers]

beats djorkovic 6-2 7-5 in final, within a couple 100 points of 3rd now

easy

[Kevin]

easy

Was far from it, second set her reverted to his old style of not knowing where the ball was going, wasn't helped by Djokovic's antics either, calling on the trainer then inspecting the lines etc. Won well though, was 5-2 down in the second set but won 5 on the trot to come out 7-5. Superb!!

[saintj]

did the same against potro and let him back in it, should never have let djorkevic back in it after going up a break straight away in the 2nd

[541ntees]

congrats to Andy 1st ever Brit in the top3.

will need to wait till next week till it's official though.

Will be tough going now to split the big 2 but i'm sure he can do it

[bobby kemp]

Andy Murray wins his 1st title on grass at Queens. Wimbledon next. how good would that be ,a scotsman winning wimbledon. :D

[NUSaintee]

Fantastic, obviously, but let's not putting too much pressure on the laddie just now - he's got years ahead of him to win it, AND I BELIEVE HE WILL DO, but not this year.

Shame he's not a Saintee, tho'.

[emptyheed]

aye well done to him
you would think he could smile everynow and then though, dour eejit

[duncan08]

aye well done to him
you would think he could smile everynow and then though, dour eejit

he is from dunblane... :razz:

[541ntees]

fantastic for him . had to dig deep against blake. tho he didnt have to face the big 2

[CynicalSaintee]

I was dumbfounded when he won it. A Scotsman, who was favourite for the competition, and hyped up by everyone in the press...

And he won.

Eee, by gum that don't happen much round these parts.

Possibly the most Scottish response imaginable when he was interviewed after he won it, though. :laugh:

"I'm not getting carried away, yet, I'm not ready to win Wimbledon" or words to that effect.

Not exactly "IT IS MY DESTINY!" :laugh:

[Mike180279]

Best chance a brit will have there. Nadal is injured.

[SingaporeSaint]

Nadal sounds like he will be fit enough to compete at Wimbledon. Thinking of attending the opening day next Monday as I will be in London meeting that eedjit The Inspiration.
Also the in-laws live just down teh road in East Putney.

[Dr Christmas Jones]

Thought the crowd were a bit dour faced at Queens.All the ball girls interviewed before the final bar one went for Blake to win:evil:and an old guy was asked how he thought Murray was playing after he won the first set.He said"Murray thinks he has the title in the bag but i would nt underestimate Blake just yet":roll:.I wonder what they would be saying if it was the underachieving Tim "nice but crap" Henman.The English media dont like the guy because when he was in his teens he was coerced into saying something about the England football team.If you put it into context, Wayne Rooney who is, compared to Andy,much better liked by the media down south was visiting prostitutes at the same age.Andy Murray is ten times the roll model a guy like Rooney will ever be.And you have that Castle bloke saying he's not dedicated enough.What the f*ck did he ever do.3rd round at queens and then two first round defeats.:oops:

[Mike180279]

Yeah I remember that, he was asked last year who he would be supporting at the world cup as Scotland were not there. Expecting him to say, England of Course - his reply? I already have my paraguay top!

If he was to win Wimbledon, wouldnt surprise me if he dedicated it to Scotland.

[myDarlingBeefeater]

And you have that Castle bloke saying he's not dedicated enough.What the f*ck did he ever do.3rd round at queens and then two first round defeats.:oops:

Aye, that Castle wank really grinds my gears. Stick to fawning interviews of Britain's Got Pop Factor contestants on GMTV you simpering twat.

[saintj]

Yeah I remember that, he was asked last year who he would be supporting at the world cup as Scotland were not there. Expecting him to say, England of Course - his reply? I already have my paraguay top!

If he was to win Wimbledon, wouldnt surprise me if he dedicated it to Scotland.
and of course the subtle 'anyone but england' :)

which didnt go down too well

[bobby kemp]

If Andy was English he would be the next sporting superstar. probabaly better for him that hes not. No English media hype to put pressure on him. Go on Andy win wimbledon and really sicken them. :wink: :laugh:

[Burghsaintee]

He's only British when he's winning ........... only British when he's winning.

Has anyone noticed that. The media hype him as a dour grumpy Scotsman, but the minute he wins somehting.........different story.

[bobby kemp]

1 SET EACH, Murray up 2-1 in the 3rd. This is his year.

[saintj]

beat kendrik 3-1 in a tough match and as quite a bit off his best standards

[Rodgers]

played some amazing shots and that lad kendrik put up a real good fight

well done andy

[Mike180279]

played some amazing shots and that lad kendrik put up a real good fight

well done andyIt was never going to be an easy game for him. Any passage through at this stage does, he wants to peak next week.

[CynicalSaintee]

Andy is an excellent player. I used to think he was just a product of the hype-machine, but some of the shots he does are awesome.

[Mike180279]

He's only British when he's winning ........... only British when he's winning.

Has anyone noticed that. The media hype him as a dour grumpy Scotsman, but the minute he wins somehting.........different story.Was the same when Liz McColgan, Tom McKean and Yvonne Murray were winning medals, they were British yet colin jackson was english! :evil:

[541ntees]

andy didn't play his best against kendrick but i think that had a lot to do with his opponent. kendrick had a wild forehand, it was either a sensational winner or miles out.
i think rather than take the game to him he just kept the rallies going letting kendrick make the mistakes.

[saintj]

murray missed shots that he hasnt been missing, if murray was on top form he would have destroyed kendrik, if it wasnt for his 1st serve being really good, if not exceptional, he would have had a real struggle against him

[milky]

Was the same when Liz McColgan, Tom McKean and Yvonne Murray were winning medals, they were British yet colin jackson was english! :evil:

:oops:

[faircityboy]

the english hate murray with passion.i was in boozer (english) last year at this time they were calling him all the b's c's under the sun.pure jealous because he way better than tim and that canadian guy they adopted an englishman.

[SJC]

the english hate murray with passion.i was in boozer (english) last year at this time they were calling him all the b's c's under the sun.pure jealous because he way better than tim and that canadian guy they adopted an englishman.

You wouldn't get the same reaction in a Scottish pub if an Englishman had mentioned he would be supporting a team playing against Scotland wouldn't you? :roll:

[SaintDougie]

Playing really well at the moment, mon yersel Andy!

[StDuncM]

Job well done against a seeded player. Andy is on the march.

[Finners]

that was........... easy, hope he doesn't get complacent against wawrinka - he'll cause problems

[ally bon]

what is really strange is that tennis is not a team sport, and when it is , it's the bloody Davis Cup and the UK. It's like, not liking Tiger Wood because he plays against the UK/Euro team in the Ryder Cup. Who doesn't like Tiger ?

Murray plays for himself, not for Scotland, he doesn't play for the "Jersey", there is no Jersey. Yes he is a tennis player from Scotland and all Scots want him to win, but there is no Scotland v England thing going on here. Also, there are no Good English tennis players , ***......

[MUZZ]

mon federer

[Finners]

mon federer

<shock> que?

[sleepless]

tough one tonight, but well done...

[StDuncM]

Nearly 4 hours against a guy who knows his game inside out as his training partner. Bit disappointed there was no friendly hug at the end or that the Swiss guy saw fit to walk off on his own.

Classic match and with Andy playing an unseeded player next. Surely even after playing for 4 hours he has a fairly good chance to progress.

[Nuggets]

the english hate murray with passion.i was in boozer (english) last year at this time they were calling him all the b's c's under the sun.pure jealous because he way better than tim and that canadian guy they adopted an englishman.

So you are basically saying that all English hate Murray, is that why at tonight game there was an English wearing an England top cheering on Murray.
As was i, and am English.

But well done to Murray tonight, very tough game for him, which he came though qutie well in the end, just the game he needed, after his last two game where so easy for him.

[Rodgers]

brilliant match and well done to andy!

cummon!!!!

[CynicalSaintee]

Good grief, that was tense.

[Finners]

what a game, terrific from murray - into the ice bath you go son

[SaintDougie]

Well feck me that was intense. What an epic match though well done Andy.

Bring on Ferrero

[541ntees]

wawrinka played the match of his lfe but Andy did well still think he's got more in the tank. Ferrero is a weird one, i thought he'd given up playing so doing so well on his least favourite surface is a surprise to all but he's played really well and will be another tough match

[Chansey]

Whats the script with the rest of the week at wimbledon from here then? Is it the women tomorrow, then men on Wednesday and so on...?

[Dr Christmas Jones]

So you are basically saying that all English hate MurrayI think he meant the general consensus in the pub was they did nt like Murray.The only reason you like him is cause he plays in Tranmere white:wink:

[Nuggets]

I think he meant the general consensus in the pub was they did nt like Murray.The only reason you like him is cause he plays in Tranmere white:wink:

You could say the same for anyone who follows teams who wear white.

Think the guiy walked off on his own to receive and allow murray to receive the ovations that both deserved.....

what was with the "interview" at the end for ? - that seems to be a first.

Shame on the bbc for focusing on a particularly "well endowed" (boobs) young lady -whose twin peaks threatened to leave her low cut top !!

Will that mean the return of the perv shots as the cameras used to focus on the women players rears ?

[Nuggets]

I noticed that as well, can't say I was complaining though. Anyone see the big guy in the black t-shirt, Looked at bit like Randy from My name is Earl? He was going fecking mental in the slow-mo replay. Tre amusing

[541ntees]

Whats the script with the rest of the week at wimbledon from here then? Is it the women tomorrow, then men on Wednesday and so on...?

pretty much so - weather permitting

[YHallSaint]

Are you on about the young lady who was wearing the red top, who kept jumping up and down, when the camera was on her.

Better than going to Cliff after every point, good camera work especially in HD

[SaintDougie]

Mens - Quarters on Wednesday
Semi's on Friday
Final on Sunday

[saintj]

Classic match and with Andy playing an unseeded player next. Surely even after playing for 4 hours he has a fairly good chance to progress.
dont underestimate ferrero, if murray doesnt improve on his serving he will get whapped.

thought murray was poor last night, serving was way below par and made too many unforced errors. he was poor tactically aswell because he continually hit it to wawrinkas backhand and got punished alot of times, especially when murrays shot was short.

he will need to find the baseline more and serve better against ferrero if he is to win the match

[MUZZ]

Get the twat Murray out.

[O'Rourke]

'mon the Murray man!

[ancientsaint]

Are you on about the young lady who was wearing the red top, who kept jumping up and down, when the camera was on her.


thats the one.....i thought she would have learned her lesson tho as i saw her again on bbc replay.....was like 2 bald men looking over a wall .

[Rodgers]

mon andy murray!

[SaintDougie]

Get the twat Murray out.

Away you.

Mon yersel Andy!

[Scobby_SJFC]

Good luck andy, has the potential to be a hell of a player

Just back from travelling, and its amazing watching tennis with other nationalities, when a croatian watches a croatian they get right behind them, yet i met scottish guys who hate murray, find it stange why we tend to hate successful people, hes 3rd in the world and comes around 20ish miles from where we're from, people should all be behind him

[thewhorule2002]

Get the twat Murray out.

3rd in the World, young player, from just outside Perth.

Sure he isn't Mr.Personality when it comes to interviews but he is a great player and very exciting to watch. We should be backing local talent who do this well.


Plus, far more importantly, his girlfriend is absolutely stunning! Although maybe she just looks even hotter when sat beside Murray's mum!

[ancientsaint]

She might have aged - but i bet she still moves !!!!!! (his mum that is !!)

[ryangordon86]

Plus, far more importantly, his girlfriend is absolutely stunning! Although maybe she just looks even hotter when sat beside Murray's mum!

I was just discussing her, I'm not so sure he'd be banging her if he wasn't a world class tennis player!!

In true Wimbledon form... COME ON ANDY!!!!

[SaintDougie]

I was just discussing her, I'm not so sure he'd be banging her if he wasn't a world class tennis player!

What his mum? Thats just wrong!

[ryangordon86]

What his mum? Thats just wrong!

She does have a face like a slapped arse, you can see where the boys get it from!

[SaintDougie]

She does have a face like a slapped arse, you can see where the boys get it from!

Aye, he's his mammies boy.

Ticht match with Ferrero Rocher the now. Mon Andy

[bobby kemp]

MURRAY stolls to semi final 3 sets to 0 brilliant.

[CynicalSaintee]

It's almost beginning to seem as if it could go his way. Roddick will be totally knackered and Murray's getting better and better.

[Chansey]

It's almost beginning to seem as if it could go his way. Roddick will be totally knackered and Murray's getting better and better.

Yeah, but its still going to be about how Murray copes with the power of Roddick, and his serve in particular. I reckon his ability to stick to his game plan will see him through again....fingers crossed anyway!

[CynicalSaintee]

Yeah, but its still going to be about how Murray copes with the power of Roddick, and his serve in particular. I reckon his ability to stick to his game plan will see him through again....fingers crossed anyway!

Against Wawrinka, he seemed to be unable to cope wit his "power", so I'd rather he'd faced Hewitt, to be honest. Still, how fan-bloody-tastic would it be if a Scotsman won Wimbledon before an Englishman? :D

[Chansey]

Thats true, but some of the shots Hewitt manages to not only return, but return aggressively is staggering. IMO opinion Murray will have learned a lesson against Wawrinka. Roddick is a solid player, and all round a better player than Wawrinka, but apart from his serve doesn't have a weapon as lethal as Wawrinka's backhand.

In their own ways Hewitt and Roddick would both pose monumental challenges for Murray, but I feel Murray has more of a chance running Roddick into the ground than he would with Hewitt as Hewitt seems to have endless energy reserves available to him.

Agreed a Scot winning Wimbledon would be fantastic, and all the more sweeter with Henman's numerous failures still fresh in the memory of the British public.

[Finners]

Although Roddick will be tough, look at the head-to-head record i think murray will be ok.

Good to see jamie won today too

[saintj]

murray has too much for roddick, all roddick has is a serve, murray is 1 of the best returners in the game, only thing murray could possibly succumb to in this match is pressure and even then it is unlikely to happen

[Scobby_SJFC]

murray has too much for roddick, all roddick has is a serve, murray is 1 of the best returners in the game, only thing murray could possibly succumb to in this match is pressure and even then it is unlikely to happen

Roddick is much more than just a serve, he has been a consistanly great player for years now, and Murray will have to play very well to beat him

[saintj]

consistantly great for years? since when? he went on the downslide after federer whapped him in 2 finals at wimbledon, heck, murray whapped him in his 1st/2nd year at wimbledon with ease.

murray should handle roddick better than he was able to handle wawrinka

murray wont ever likely have another run like this upto a slam semi and not face nadal/federer/djorkovic in the semi, if murray doesnt make the final with roddick putting him out then he will have blown it big time this year at wimbledon

[ancientsaint]

If he does win wimbledon -he will always here the words --aah but Nadal wasnt there and rherefor....blah blah blah...........even if he loses he has raised Scotlands profile in another sport.........good luck to him wotever happens.

[Steve Maskrey]

Murray's in great shape and while Rooddick is also playing well, I think Murray will beat him once again and set up a great final against Federer

[saint jason]

Look at his career and the ammount of time he has spend in the top 10 in the rankings, shows a quality player IMO

[MUZZ]

Party time :)

[TheBigCheese]

Party time :)

Did you spot the "Come on Muzz" poster somebody had in the crowd?

[Rodgers]

tried but failed, beaten by a player whoses on form at the moment

he will win a slam one day!

[MUZZ]

Did you spot the "Come on Muzz" poster somebody had in the crowd?


aye

[The ghost of Jim Morton]

Yet another glorious failure by a Scot tipped to win a trophy..By god we are good at it. One positive thing though is that Murray has time on his side and may still be the man to shake the Wimbledon monkey of the UKs back.

He did look a bit out of sorts today but I think that that was simply because he was unable to boss the match.

[Ronaldo]

He'll be back!

Good tactics by Roddick but not really much in it. Andy has improved massively in the last year and if he does the same again then he'll be No. 1, not bad for a country with a few tennis courts. It would be great if we could get to the top 3 in the world at football but.

[O'Rourke]

Best man won.

[Finners]

absolute boo, ah well we had 2 semi finalists and a womens player at least got into the 2nd round

england - nout

[Scobby_SJFC]

Good year so far for Murray, and Semi is the best he has achieved so far at SW19 so cant complain too much, best ive ever seen Roddick play

hate to say I told you so SaintJ!!!

[Nuggets]

Yeah bad result for Murray, but when are the press and other people going to learn, not to put to much pressure on someone all the time.
Hopely one day Murray will go on and win wimbledon some day, but the more pressure that the press put on him, will make it much harder for him to do it.

[Slowhand]

He made it to the semis, forst Brit for god knows how long!! He then blew it big time and could not hit the simple shots for love nor money. He is too young still and needs to grow up a bit.

[saintj]

Good year so far for Murray, and Semi is the best he has achieved so far at SW19 so cant complain too much, best ive ever seen Roddick play

roddick deserved it no question, but,

for me murray hasnt been his best throughout the tournament, granted i missed the qf but i seen every other game and i dont think he has been his best, for me he has been over hyped and hasnt played aswell as what has been said in the news

i think throughout the tournament his shot selection has been poor in quite a few matches and if were not for his serve he wouldnt have made it this far.

roddick isnt a better player than murray and my opinion hasnt changed on him, he might be recovering his past form from when he won the us but he has alot of catching up to do

Well done Andy.Up to second in the world rankings but still not won a grand slam.He is nt far behind Federer either so a successful season next and he could be No.1.Hope he stuffs Del Potro.Cant stand him.

How many of the last season's worth of Masters tournaments has Andy Murray won? It must be a huge percentage.

[Rodgers]

playing in the masters final right now

currently one set all, in the final set

[Scobby_SJFC]

Just won it!!! well done Andy

Cinncinate then Us Open, lets get roger now!!!

[Mike180279]

I sense its his time coming up for a major.............

[Dr Christmas Jones]

Never liked Fran:laugh: and dislike him even more now.Cheating bar steward.Well done Andy.Once he gets his first grand slam there will be many.:wink:

[Nuggets]

Even better for him, is that he has overtaken nadal to become the new world number 2.

[Saintee_Calum]

Currently a set and a break down to Cilic in the US open. Not looking good for muzzaaa.

wrong. murray was shit, infact, his performance was embarassing.

[sjfcsean]

Murray always freezes when it gets to the "business end" of tournaments.

[saintj]

that was round 4, hardly the 'business end'

that is the worst i have seen him play, probably ever, 29 unforced errors in the last set alone is disgraceful for someone who is supposed to be world no. 2.

[Mike180279]

Body Language was all wrong, he wont blame an injury but it did play a part in it. He was superb on Monday, you generally just dont dip like that when you have been performing at the top of your game for the whole hard court season

[Kevin]

He looked as though he would rather have been somewhere else throughout the match. Also what was it with his constant yawning? He has had a day in between matches and he i smeant to be fit..........
