That's Federer gone well done Sergiy Stakhovsky.Could be because he didn't have his orange soled shoes |
Yet the women players are allowed to wear Orange shorts under their skirts |  | | |

was the issue with Fed's shoes not related to the Orange being sponsor related? Sure I heard something alluding to that on the TV earlier.
Clear run to the final now for Britain's Andy Murray |  | | |

TBH have no interest at all but can understand points made - though Murray cannot go out sooner imho.
Sad to see Federer going out like this - I could see him retiring this year as spent force - remember Mark Carter!!!!

I for one want Murray to win it, I really can't understand all the anti-murray feeling
Do what you do in the olympics, cheer on the brits. Or in the European comps, cheer on the brits | | | |

But I dont do that either - Olympics bores me and dont care for "British" teams in Europe - City and Chelsea I dont mind but then thats more to annoy United than anything | |

I hope Murray wins it this year, not because he is British, but because he is a great tennis player. Over the past few years, he has really come along and every time he gets knocked out of a slam, he makes changes, and comes back stronger. People may find him boring, but as an athlete, no one deserves it more, as you can't fault his effort. He even went as far as training abroad when he was younger, in an attempt to keep up with players from other countries. If everyone viewed him neutrally, I think more of us would see how good he actually is. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

A bit ironic that the anti-Murray brigade (because he's Scottish) include those who formerly worshipped at the altar of Sir Fergie of Govan.

Don't mind tennis myself. Would like to see someone up and coming win it to really throw a spanner in the works.
Personally nothing beats football but proper test cricket and snooker are quality. Me and sandyman mut be the only two people left to listen to the test cricket on longwave so it gets stopped for the shipping forecast.
Nothing like a good shipping forecast!
Maybe we should ask sweetmore for one at half time... sung by Morrissey of course. | |

Tennis doesn't work hard enough to get rid of the public school image. It needs to get into schools at a young age | | | |

Tennis in this country is seen as the posh garden party sport, with people sipping Pimms overlooking the matches. We wont see any 'street' type players from Toxteth coming through anytime soon, there are going to be dozens of top players out there, but the net is not cast wide enough to discover them. |  |

Novak's head seemed to have gone earlier, but he seems to be clawing his way back now. Good match so far, hope Murray does it tho. |  | | |

This is the worst I've seen Djokovic play for a long time, the unforced error and missed first serves are a big indication. | |

There is no secret that Murray has had huge slices of luck in this tournament, and now he's finally playing a top 3 player Novak has his worst game for months. | |

What luck has he had? He's played everyone off the park he's come up against. You can only play the player in front of you.
Murray beat Djokovic 3 sets to 0 in the Olympics, it's no fluke | | | |
| Wimbledon on 17:33 - Jul 7 with 1268 views | olympicdale |
The fact all the top seeds he would have played went out, giving him a clear path to the final, where Djokovic was at least 50% off his game. | |

It was the same for Djokovic, he had en route only one test as well v Del Potro
Murray played the better tennis, was the better player and for the second time on grass in twelve months beat Djokovic 3 sets to 0 so accept the fact the better player today won

You're right, OD. He's incredibly lucky to be ranked no 2 in the world as well, it's got nothing to do with outstanding talent, grit, determination and consistency. All in an era that is considered to be the golden generation of men's tennis with players such as Djokovic, Federer & Nadal competing.
He played the world no 1, with massive expectation and pressure heaped on him, and won in straight sets. Yet all you do is pick holes in his route to the final, and the way his opponent played.
You're well known for coming out with utter shite, but you've surpassed your own idiotic uninformed standards with this post. |  | | |
