Haha I didn't jump down your throat, just disagreed with your point!

Come on Andy you son of a bitch. WIn this.

 

[Burgey]

What an outrageous shot

 

[Burgey]

Roge stepping it up here. Big time.

 

[Burgey]

I think Murray is fighting so hard here. He'd be universally loved if he had a different mother.

That game will kill him off for sure, Murray just can't keep up with play like this.

Newk commentating here just raised a good point, saying if Murray wants to be a GS champion, he has to ride these periods of play out. Said when you play someone like Federer, the only way to do it is like Nadal - you have to give him his brilliance, but you have to keep coming at him. Been a big different in Djokovic's game the past couple of years too.

 

[MW1304]

Yeah that's it, would require something extraordinary and dramatic to come back from this..

 

[Burgey]

Long way back for Andy now

Yeah that was great commentary. If Murray wants to be as good as those blokes he has to put bad sets or missed opportunities behind him more in the big matches. See how he goes in the fourth.

Lol at newc and Woodbridge blaming this on Judy murray's animated reactions.

Yeah because Toni nadal is quiet all match.

Well, in men's tennis you definitely have the fact that no doubt how good the opponent is playing you can serve him out of it. I do wonder though, if Murray's natural miserable countenance is a factor in these matches, a sports psychologist would certainly advise against it. The defeated look not good for you, and may give your oppo a boost, not that fed needs it much.

Murray not out of this yet though, he's still playing well. really.

 

[Burgey]

Got to give him credit, Murray is really digging deep here. In no way is he turning up his toes.

 

[Cruxdude]

Such genius that shot from Fed

 

[Jono]

Murray's gotta just get to 4-4 or 5-5 if he can here.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Murray challenging Federer as the worst user of Hawkeye in tennis.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

He's cooked now.
