Murray vs Chela

[Ninja Elephant]

Anyone else had the joy of watching this match? Andy Murray is just playing some unbelievably good tennis, absolutely walking it 6-2 6-2 3-1.

This is how tennis is meant to be played. It wouldn't suprise me if he made the final here, but I think Roger Federer is going to win it and I would assume they're in the same side of the draw, though I've not checked.

Murray's a dick. Monfils is where its at

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Monfils?

He's entertaining to watch, but quaters at best for him here.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Murray wants to become World Number two, but he has to hope Federer doesn't make it to the second week well that aint going to happen is it Andy? and when was the last time you made the second week at the French Open NEVER!

Murray is getting better on clay though, Basil. Are you watching this demolition job? It's amazing tennis to be fair, absolutely amazing. And extreme flair!

I can't deny he is getting better on clay, but the French Open is the most gruelling Grand Slam off the four and winning it you have to bottle and patience to win and the only player who can do that is Rafael Nadal.

Maybe it is a year or so early to be expecting Murray to win it, but I honestly feel he has a strong chance this year, he is physically capable of keeping up with Nadal now, and he's gotten the better of Federer all year, it wouldn't suprise me to see Murray in the final.

Chela didn't turn up.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

He didn't get a chance to, how many first serves were smacked back at him as winners?

Considering that it's Chela's specialist surface, it was a feeble performance.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I just think he was completely outclassed, I don't think he was playing badly, it was just that he was being absolutely thrashed into the ground.

 

[Hiney]

He might be a morose scotsman but he is a f***ing brilliant tennis player.

Nadal is a class above, especially on clay but Murray is going to have his day, sooner or later

 

[Half Time Pies]

Difficult to see past Nadal but I think Juan Martin del Potro is not a bad bet to make the final.

You know the rules by now - as long as he is winning and being successful, he is British.

Only when he loses does he revert to being Scottish.

Yup, them's the rules of sport, as first established at the 1978 World Cup

Opposite side of the draw to Nadal so wouldn't meet until the final. Likely to get Federer in the semis though.
