amazing result. I used to hate Rafa, gutted for him though, but what a performance. Missed most watching the footy but he just went for everything at it all came off.

Just watching some highlights on youtube. He has a HUGE first serve. It's like watching 90's tennis again when Sampras, Stich and krajiceck were dominating Wimbledon.

highlights here. Didn't half ping it about !

Love seeing Nadal throw his toys out of the pram. One hell of a game. Lots of good sportsmanship from Rosol. Well deserved.

Yeah, I was kinda joking mate. Murray's never gonna win shit, regardless of his draw or who else gets knocked out.

He just can;t control his temper. Gets the better of him every time.
Plus why doesn't he make the opponent run? Left right left right. He just fucking hits it to them all the time.

Anyone else finding the yank umpire annoying? Sounds all showbiz/sarcastic.

What's the whole issue with the tennis balls dropping out of his pockets?

There is something so inherently unlikeable about Andy Murray.

He might be a nice bloke in reality but on court he comes across as a petulant twat.

I'm no pro sportsman or anything, but it really pisses me off seeing Murray grimace and generally show pain when he's injured. He's just making his opponent spot a weakness and exploit it. Would never see Rafa / Federer doing that shit

apparently murray feigns injury a lot on court, shows signs of sluggishness and tiredness when he isn't and general apathy, it's part of his gamesmanship.

Nadal does the same(not to the same extent as he doesn't need to as much) , he just seems less of a cunt, plus he's an incredible player so gets away with it more when he does do it.

true, but it makes watching them especially murray grate and sometimes feel couldn't give a fuck if murray loses. gamesmanship in general is shit but it's funny to see how players like nadal react when it happens to them.

people may think sampras was boring but I like the fact that he just wanted to get on with the game and didn't feel the need to fuck about to get at the other player. one of the reasons why federer is well liked but I suppose they didn't need to being the best.
