Cricketer Of The Year
Looks like Nalbandian is going to bottle this big time. Up a set, 5-3, and then has four match points and just goes to ****. Nadal's great in those situations, but he just froze.

Love Rafa so much. Just never gives in.
Gave a very frank and honest interview after the match. Admitted he was 'scared' of Nalbandian's backhand, and considering that before this match he'd never taken a set off Nalbandian, being 5 match points down throughout the match, and still winning, show's how much class he has.
“I think today was lucky. Anyway, well, I am not happy. I'm not very happy about myself and the first two sets. I think I had from the memory, a lot the last two matches. He played well, yes, but I… was a little bit scared about his backhand. I didn't go to the match with the best mentality.

It's because he's ****ing overr-rated, I've been saying it for yonks. He's soft mentally. Just wished I hadn't screwed the numbers at Sports Bet, I wanted Roddick to win, not Djokovic.

Yeah, but you hate his guts. It's a bit like half the forum saying that Mitchell Johnson bloke will stop having luck soon.

argh...sack the producer (or whoever it is that is deciding on the camerawork for the Federer-Murray match) the view is far too low. It's not hard to get a decent position for Tennis but there have been more than the odd tournament so far this year with dire tv pictures. Sort it out.
Murray breaks anyway, Fed started really well and really should have broken in the last game though. The more recent Fed-Murray games usually go 3 sets with Fed winning the first though

Murray is so awesome. Great to watch.
His odds kept climbing despite the fact he'd beaten Roger in their last 4 meetings (including unofficial Abu Dhabi). Make that 5 now.
Awesome that Rafa beat Roddick as well. We now have another Rafa vs. Murray final, except hopefully this time with neither of them being injured.

doesn't mean a thing and you know it....He may be overrated, but he's still winning more tournaments than Federer in 2009

I just read that Nadal is the only left-hander to beat Murray. Surely that cannot be right? I don't know a lot about tennis, but are there no other top quality lefties?

Dunno. I do know he's getting more Scottish and less British as the night goes on.

"Och, Angus Podgorny, y'ken the Scots cannae play the tennis"
(favourite ever Monty Python sketch - aliens turning people into Scotsmen - I always refer to Murray as Angus Podgorny to wind Mrs LE up)

Naa there isnt many top left handers, outside of Nadal and Verdasco there really is only the likes of Melzer, Niemenen, Guccione and thats about all I think of at the moment.

verdasco was the first lefty other than nadal to beat him on the main tour in the aus open. Having a bit of a shocker here. Wind not making for much of a spectacle either

it's well and truly the nadal era in tennis, as much as i admire the guy's speed around the court, steely will, determination and refusal to give in, it's a pity(for me) that this is happening....i have been too spoilt by the pure tennis skills that federer embodied...it's just not as much fun to watch when players try to slug it out and possibly the greatest counter-puncher of all time simply wears his opponents down each and every time...

Clijsters To Make Comeback
Was never the biggest Clijsters fan but Womens tennis needs more decent players at the top level. Its basically becoming a case again of the Williams sisters winning if they turn up to the tournaments if they really want to win them. Was watching the final of Indian Wells yesterday and while Zvonereva and Ivanovic are good players they shouldnt be top 5 at the moment.
