Thanks
Yep, thanks
Come on Andy! This is the way to watch tennis - big screen with radio commentary, Facebook conversation with friends spanning the globe. New Zealand, Texas and Scotland.
Another great get by Murray! Things are looking very good for the plucky Scottish tailor on whom everything depends. 4-all in the third.
Murray breaks! Serving for the championship!
What a fantastic match this is. Djokovich is really struggling to keep up now.
Or more directly: he seems broken already, whether physically or mentally I couldn’t say.
Two more points!
Holy crap. Djoker has break point!
Ha! Not so fast!
The tension is unbelievable!
Murray wins! The place goes nuts!
It took a couple of minutes longer than we thought, but congratulations to Sir Andy! That was a Pete Sampras-style display of running forehands.
Despite it being 3-0, so much better than the Women’s match yesterday
That was a long and exceptionally tough three-setter. Djokovic was seemed drained by that last match.
You know, I think that losing last years final was in retrospect the best thing that could have happened to Murray. It exposed his phycological issues and he had to deal them. Today, he was twice down a break in a set and rallied to win. The old Murray would have surrendered meekly, like last year. No this incarnation.
That last game was remarkable, and I have a sense that Murray left everything on the court for that one, especially seeing how wiped out he was afterwards. This could have turned ugly had he not finished it then and there.
Disagree. Murray just kept going even after they were both tired. “Bring it, Novak. Oh, you can’t?”
Yeah, and winning both the Olympics and the US Open helped him a ton. And with this, the pressure is way off him now.
Murray will be the center of attention at Wimbledon for the rest of his career, but it’ll be a different kind of attention since he won’t be asked to save the nation from 80 years of calamity. On the other hand Laura Robson is eventually going to be the recipient of some of that same pressure.
It’s odd how people forget that Virginia Wade won in 1977
