Us Tennis final on tonight between Murray and Federer here at 10pm
Us Tennis final on tonight between Murray and Federer here at 10pm
looking forward to it immensely... last nights conclusion of
the Nadal Murray semi-final was an amazing match...
Murray is in brilliant form.. fought nadal for every point...
But Federer is Federer..
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
It'll be the WC '66 from the Brits all over again if Murray wins!

Rog 4-2 up already[img]smileys/biggrin.gif[/img]
It'll almost certainly go to Federer, but Murray is in a better placing than
Roger was at his age already. He will have his time and be no. 1.
It might even be worth a flutter on Murray for Australia 2009.
The media here is making much noise about a "British" player getting to the final.
It's a nailed on cert that it'll be "Scotlands Murray" by tomorrow (if he loses!).
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
Couldn't agree with you more Fitzy.
And federer has taken the first set 6-2 [img]smileys/biggrin.gif[/img]
I've not seen anything this one sided since, ooh, the weekend.
(Sorry Waterford fans!)
Federer just broke Murray, 2 0 in 2nd set. Murray v good but Federer so much better and can't forgive Murray for beating Rafa!

It is a bit of a slaughtering so far Fed 2-0 up in the second set broke Murray already.

Beyond watching eyes
With sweet and tender kisses
Our souls reached out to each other
In breathless wonder
And when I awoke
From a vast and smiling peace
I found you bathed in morning light
Quietly studying

Federer just won the 2nd set with an unbelievable shot. Murray playing really well, great game. But Fed too good.

It still looks to be a straight sets victory, but Murray will gain a lot of
experience and confidence from the performance he has put in today.
Especially in that second set.
3-0 in third set to Federer...
Federer making plenty of mistake, but still managing to be
well in the lead...
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
All about to be over I'd say. 5 0 to Federer

Federer just won. 13 grand slams, he will beat Sampras.

From his early grand slam victories it looked that way.Originally Posted by Hopelessly Devoted
Would be interesting to see one of those virtual match ups between the
two at their peak. Who would win?
Fair play to murray for making it there...brit medja will be creaming themselves when(if) he eventually wins a grand slam event

Couldnt be bothered starting a new thread for it........but Williams was serving to stay in the match against Clijsters........foot faults and goes nut at the umpire who called it, apparently saying that she will kill her........in all the confusion plus im shattered i think she was ordered from the court and disqualified........nuts, but i like Clijsters so all is good
Always
I was watching it here on the Tee Vee.
It was a point penalty on match point rather than a d/q. It didn't look a foot fault to me on the replay but her conduct following the call really wasn't on. They didn't play audio on the tv replay here but I'm pretty sure I could lip read some four letter fs in there. It was a sad way to finish the match but I doubt it changed the outcome - Clijsters looked to have her shook.
Unbelievable 'through the legs' winner from Federer!

This is the first set of semi finals of a major, since 2004 that doesn´t have Federer or Nadal in it...
So, Nadal never competed and Federer beaten by Berdych last night...

Does Murray have the cojones to go al the way in this, his by far best tournament to play in...

He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
Tipsarevic playing some brilliant stuff at the moment in his 1/4 with Ferrer...
Cameraman focusing on his girlfriend/wife too... fair play.....
