Pumped out of Olympics in first round from some unknown Chinese Taipie player in straight sets.  He can be British this week then!!

I've not seen one pundit predict anything other than a Murray victory today.  Not a good sign 

Not sure how many people speaking honestly could back Tsonga. Murray is the better player. Personally I think he'll keep the heid 'till at least the final.

What's interesting is seeing all the dos (English) cunts on the BBC page backing Tsonga and Federer to reach the final. Not one of them is backing Djokovic. I think Djokovic will be the one awaiting either Andy or Jo in the final.

I guess I will know if he won or lost if when I go onto the BBC website he is called Scotland's Andy Murray or Britain's Andy Murray

I think Djokovic will be the one awaiting either Andy or Jo in the final.

 

You're doing well so far, feel free to predict Tsonga for the other semi!

 

Federer winning is good for Murray IMHO (if he can win his semi).

Let's hope the curse of Tyrant doesn't strike again.

 

Agreed though Kow, Murray plays better against Federer (providing he reaches the final).

Nice one. Now time to shred Fed

Wow 

 

Strawberries & Pimms on Sunday, what a nice way to spend the afternoon 

 

 

Watching that match on Sunday is going to be anything but nice. It's either going to be heartbreak or nerve shredding as fuck!

True tho I haven't been as nervous with him as I usually am - canny be any worse than watching the dons lose their fifth semi final in a row!!

Any predictions for tomorrow? All the pundits are going for Murray as you'd probably expect. All I want is for Murray to give a good account of himself. I'd like to see him win a set to get that never won a set in a grand slam final monkey off his back. But my head says Federer in 4. I think Murray can match his game but Fed's experience will see him through.

Fed is the strong favourite, he's the best to have held a racquet.

 

But Murray has a chance.

No Mav, I reckon he is the best to have picked a bat up.

Very possibly. always the perfect type of pub question because when it comes down to it there's no fundamentally correct answer. Best to have played with a modern racquet is more close to definite.

 

Thing that bugs me about Federer's career from the point of view of spectator is Nadal, Djokovic being a couple years too young and Samprass, Agassi a couple years too old for Federer to have really been pushed to his limits during his best years. After the glandular fever Federer's never been back to quite that level and the other two past him by more or less. Kind of like in boxing if the best fighters were rarely in the same weight division at the same time.

 

But...C'mon Murray!

 

Actually still think Murray is going to win several slams, even if not this one tomorrow. Federer won't be around that long, Nadal's knees are probably about to explode and Djokovic isn't going to win everything for the remaining few years.

Would love to be wrong, but suspect Murray will bottle it and get pumped.

Typical miserable, greetin' faced, glass half empty, uber-negative Jock.

 

I agree.

 

Feeling sorry for him already, he's under enormous pressure.

Great Braveheart picture on the front of today's Sunday Post, can't see it online anywhere though.

 

Fuck it, Murray in 4 sets!!!
