Murray v Baghdatis

[Barrel of Fun]

I love the BBC online commentator...

Baghdatis 0-2 Murray
Here's your answer - he can. For the first time in the match, Murray breaks Baghdatis - and for the first time, the Cypriot is the one making the unforced errors. Is that Jimmy Hill in the stands? It is, you know - impeccably coiffured and with his top button done up. He is chewing on something at the back of his mouth, much like a cowboy masticating upon some tobacco.

Isn't it foreigner v foreigner?

At least the Cypriots like the English...

My Dads a scotsman and has nothing against the English. Narrow mindedness some people.

Baghdatis 1-4 Murray
Murray holds again - his first serve is firing at last. He's up to 86% on it now, whereas in the first set he was in the low 40s. Baghdatis eats turf as he stumbles chasing a wide Murray forehand. He stays prone for a few seconds before clambering to his feet.

Probably more related to Mr Murray's choice pre match words on Saturday than him being Scottish.

4-4 in the second set.

Murray broken again, 5-4 Baghdatis and serving for set two... Murray threw a temper at the end of that game.

Any tears and tantrums yet

Yes, he's having a set two with the umpire as I read that...

 

[Trigger]

And here's ANOTHER strop...

 

[Les Biehn]

I want him to win because it is good for British tennis but he is one petulant, whinging sweaty.

*squeaky voice* Come on Murray!!


Baghdatis 2-3 Murray
When the under-fire umpire over-rules his line judge and calls a Baghdatis backhand good, Murray decides he's had enough. He marches to the chair and delivers a McEnroesque tirade about chalk dust, albeit in that same Scottish monotone. The anger inspires him - and the crowd - and a beautifully-judged drop-shot wins the game. Teenage temper tantrums can sometimes be a good thing, you know.

"You have to go up to the umpire's chair sometimes and get in his face - show him who's in charge." Jimmy Connors, BBC Sport summariser.

Sweaty is 5-4 up in the third but still MOANING. This is despite 2 debatable calls going his way in the last game.

He should have been born with TITS because he acts like a big GIRL.
