Andy Murray

[Tyrant]

The highlight of my holiday! Me and my mate took the night off from theme parks to watch the final. Fuck me what a roller coaster that was! (no pun intended).

 

I was utterly convinced that he'd fucked it when he squandered a 2 set lead but Murray showed mental strength that I didn't know he had. The defeat from Federer at Wimbledon and the gold medal win has given him self confidence. How far he goes now is entirely up to him. He's a better player than Djokovic and should now work to assert himself as a top 3 player. Nadal will be a real rival when fit and Federer still is but he wont be around for too much longer surely so I don't see why Murray shouldn't aim to be world no 1 soon.

Another epic final today.

Thought he had it in the bag but Djokovic showed he's still number 1. 

[Tyrant]

What annoyed me about yesterday is that in the 3rd set it looked like Murray had given up? He couldn't have been that knackered as he's done plenty of five setters in the past. He had 5 match points and didn't take any of them. The manner of this defeat has really bothered me.

[Tyrant]

After having to grind out a (very important) win against Berdych on Monday today Muzz takes on Djokovic. Anyone know much about this Djokovic fella? 

 

He got a tough group this year. I'd have preferred him to get Djokovic 3rd so he can secure passage to the next round first but then again if he can beat him and Tsonga he'll get an "easier" semi final.

[maverick sheep]

the other group's tougher imo. Could see Ferrer and Del Potro bumming Federer.

[Tyrant]

Ferrer has a slight chance. Del Po has nae chunce. Just not playing well enough.

 

Murray a set up. On serve in the second. I'm glancing at it every so often but it's on mute. Anyone know what Murray was just complaining about?

[Tyrant]

Fucked it. 

[maverick sheep]

that london crowd last night were fucking disgusting.

I didn't notice the crowd being any more pro Fed than they are at Wimbledon. Murray got booed when he changed his racket on set point for Fed. The media are blowing this way out of proportion. There's always been the "anti-Jock" agenda from some of the guffy pricks but no more than usual.

[maverick sheep]

It's fair enough that Fed gets support because he's loved all over, but in the Olympics and Wimbledon the crowd were supportive of both. last night was the worst I've heard it for a few years now in terms of being openly hostile to the 'home' player. I love London as a place but the dickheads last night really pissed me off.

Can you imagine Timmy getting anything other than 100% support from a British audience?

[Tyrant]

And most of it stems from the "Anyone but England" joke he made a few years back. But I still think in general he got a decent support. I've got to fucking get myself to one of these events. If I get to the end without getting thrown out it'll be a miracle.

Better go and see him when he's in Scotland then!

[Andrew]

There must be a lot of folk in London, especially folk who would go to the tennis, who will feel a closer national resemblance to Switzerland than they do to Scotland.

Aye cause Murray was representing Scotland 

[Andrew]

Murray has quite a prevalent Scottish identity.

[Tyrant]

Murray has quite a prevalent Scottish identity.

 

 

That's because he's Scottish.

 

I don't know if they all want him to try and use an English accent instead. But I would've thought winning a medal for "Team GB" would have sent him up in the estimations of the xenophobic English.

[Madbadteacher]

But they have such short memories Tyrant (well apart from 1960-something), I think it's because their brains have so much englishness in them.

[Tyrant]

That sounds mildly xenophobic, MBT. Shocking.

[Madbadteacher]

Only mildy?

[Tyrant]

Through to the second round. 6-3 6-1 6-3 win over some Dutch diddy Robin Haase.

[maverick sheep]

Jamie Baker oot though. The English lassies doing well. Laura Robson's legs still top notch.

I wish I gave a shit about women's tennis so I can get on the Laura Robson band wagon along with with all the English cunts.

[maverick sheep]

Tyrant, are you not aware that you don't actually need to be english to wank yourself into a coma over fit 18 year olds?
