Federer v Murray

[Chicken Runner61]

Come on Tim!

Federer is just too good at present, shame as I had hope Murray would finally nail one.

Straight sets defeat for the Jocko clown on the cards.

Some of the stuff Federer plays is just stunning. Unplayable.

 

[Everest]

Oh well. Once a Scottish twat...

Why should he learn from Federer in conducting interviews? He has stated he is not keen on talking about tennis or after the match. It is not a popularity contest and I am sure he doesn't cry himself to sleep in knowledge that his fanbase is not as big as it could be.

The Wimbledon crowd have taken to him now and that was always going to be an acid test - after the passing of Tiger. I personally thought he conducted himself well in the on-court interviews during this tournament.

Despite leading 6-4 against Federer, I don't think any of those victories have been a best-of-5.

Close to breaking him there. But here's the thing. The fact is that Fed's game has just dropped off a bit and Murray is right in there. Says a lot for the quality of Fed's tennis before now, and for Murray's ability when the chances come about.

I dont understand why people like Federer? He comes over as a massive cocker

 

[Chicken Runner61]

Murray getting narked now

 

[Simster]

I dont understand why people like Federer? He comes over as a massive cocker

Because he doesn't?

I hate the way Murray screams after he wins a point and smashes his racket on the floor when he loses one.
Reminds me of myself when I played indoor tennis when I was 10 years old.
He's just not very likeable is he..

Precisely how ?

Enlighten us all please

 

[Finchley Seagull]

You are mistaking arrogance for World Class ability. Arrogant men don't lose gracefully and Federer when he does lose does it with grace.

I'm not Scottish or Swiss so I'll be an idiot and hope Federer wins if that's OK with you.

Federer's comments on Friday after he beat Tsonga were arrogant. I can't understand why anyone would support him after his hilarious comment about Britain not winning a Grand Slam for 150,000 years. By the way he mentioned "Britain" in his comment not Scotland so even he realises that Murray is British.

What makes you think that?

If Murray came out with some of the things he said he would be slated, as for that gold Jacket he has for Wimbledon....

I'd rather see Rab Nesbitt out there I would be cheering him to thrash Federer

He doesn't have to if he doesn't want to, I couldn't give a flying whatsit if he doesn't.

But as I was just stating on the previous thread that I haven't warmed to him as off the court he doesn't give anyone anything. He conducted an interview in Sydney during the week where he was aparently monosyllabic. Yes and no answers were all he gave. Given that its no wonder some people don't like him. IF and thats obviously in your opinion a BIG if, if he wanted more people to warm to him, then he could look to Federers interviewing style to learn a few things on how to communicate. Thats all...not sure why you're so staunchly coming back at me on this topic.

Yeah but he is Swiss

Absolutely. For some reason people obsess over him but he seems an arrogant prick to me. The sad thing is all these idiots taking the piss out of Murray now were surprisingly absent as Murray got to the final beating Nadal on the way. Now he is losing one match they are all on here taking the piss. When you think about it, it is quite sad really.

I wouldn't expect you to understand, but as it's for much the same reason why so many people like watching Arsenal. CLASS

"But without taking anything away from him, I think a few times he played me I wasn't at my very, very best


"Plus he's playing me, who's won many Grand Slams prior to that, been able to win here three times so I know what it takes and how to do it, which is definitely an advantage."


Yeah, Real down to earth.
