Fed 1 set down

Fed 1 set down

And a break down.

 

[Danny-Boy]

QED - he's been in the Top 5 for two years and not won one of the major titles. Flaw in his psychology. I predict he will never win a grand slam tournament.

And I moii predict that you'll be wrong.

He has an excellent chance this time with Nadal out of the way, though no doubt the aussie crowd will back his opponent just as they always do when the Mother country faces competition down there.

But there'll be a load of ex-pats and supporters from Bonny Britain to cheer him on. Go for it Andy!!!:yahoo:

 

[Danny-Boy]

Not sure what you're all getting worked up about anyway...he's done the hard work as usual, built up the expectation amongst the sector of middle England who are the only ones who really pay any attention to tennis outside Wimbledon week, and will probably lose to the person they least expect him to, ie Ferrer.

Either that, or get beaten by Federer in the final. Again. No disgrace of course, but very much par for the course.

Do I take it you don't fancy him then, Edna?

it's the english they have a rivalry with, not the scots

He may well win the Aussie Open this year but that will only be because Nadal was beaten by an injury. As I think he was last year when Murray reached the final. Hope he does.

That is speculative rubbish. You can't possibly make that claim.

 

[CHAPPERS]

f*** sake. Murray is going to f***ing win it isn't he.

Shit.

 

[Trigger]

f*** sake. Murray is going to f***ing win it isn't he.

Shit.

No chance, Cockovic is far too good.

 

[simmo]

Well Mr Andy Murray, opportunity knocks.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Well Mr Andy Murray, opportunity knocks.

Indeed it does, but better not take Ferrer as a given. Keep your eyes on the semis befoe worrying about Djokovic.

First set Ferrer

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Murray looking around for people to blame - not a good sign.

 

[Simster]

First set Ferrer

It's win win. I'd quite like Murray to win, but all those banging on about him being in a different class to Henman really aren't being proved right all the time the scotch goon is bottling it in the semis. Erm, *exactly* like Henman used to.

 

[Trigger]

Murray's dad, Judy, doesn't look too pleased.

 

[Simster]

One set all (after Murray saved set point) and 4-1 Murray in the third.
Murray looking class now.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

A dazzling shot from Murray there. He seems to have overcome his little internal battle and playing exceedingly well again.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Murray looking around for people to blame - not a good sign.

Or to his coach for advice?
