Wow that was a close thing. Apart from that 4th set Murray didn't do too much wrong.

Agree aracer - what an incredible effort. Amazing match and brilliant performance from Murray. Tennis is lucky to have 4 incredible top players and a shame in many ways that Andy has to face three such incredible opponents.
Amazing respect for both players.

Cracking match. No shame in losing if you put up a performance like that. Well done Murray!

what a gutsy performance! If he was playing anyone other than the current No.1 he would of won, no question. the level of fitness these guys have is incredible. 5 hours of full on high heart rate exercise...

bit of a thriller
btw if an already world class cyclist was to make the gains in power, endurance and recovery over the course of about a year that Djorkovic has made would anyone believe them if they said it was all the result of a gluten free diet and sleeping in an egg?

Murray is the Colin Montgomerie of tennis, he'll do very well out of tennis but I don't think he'll never win a major.

Ouch Omar - PEDs in tennis, surely not?!?
But hopefully with Djok - its been purely a mental thing. He always had the technique.

In the 70s the tennis players were always languishing in last place with the racing drivers on Superstars. How would their modern counter parts measure up against Brian Jacks et al?

Such a meteoric rise to the top? Regularly dishing out a spanking to the Federer and Nadal?

Good effort from the plucky Brit. Showing heaps of Bulldog spirit too.

Murray playing in an era of possibly the greatest 4 tennis players of all time loses in a thrilling five sets to the world number one. No shame at all. At least he's made progress since last year. He may never win a grand slam.

They would lose to Jacks in orange eating but win the banana and the squats!
De, de, de, deeer...

If he'd been offered his world number 4 ranking and a good deal of semi finals and finals in grand slams at the beginning of his career, he'd probably have taken it. He is as it stands the best UK tennis player ever.

Against Et Al - No problem
Against Brian Jacks - No chance unless they binned the gym sectionGood effort Murray. Epic entertainment. His Mum's looking well fit these days!!!

Is he? (genuine question)
If so, good on him!Posted 4 months ago # -
Joking aside, if Murray lives in Surrey (cue a song), does that makes Scotland's leading sportsman ineligible to vote in the referendum?

Murray capitulates
Watched a different game?

Er... Fred Perry.
But yes, Murray played well today. Got to be really good to get to choking position so often.
Posted 4 months ago # -
OK then, guess he must be Scotland's best ever tennis player.
Did you see what I did there? Did you like it, because I loved it.

Tennis is bollocks anyway.
Yes, it is.

Tennis is bollocks compared to what? There are not many sports that combine as many skills as a tennis player needs all rolled into one. Rather watch a good tennis match than a bunch of overpaid thugs kicking a ball about.

I agree that it combines a number of skills. It's still bollocks though. There's a reason why football is the people's game and tennis isn't. Actually I wonder if tennis is the most popular sport in any country?
Overpaid thugs chasing a ball delves deeper into our pysche than two chaps with bats chasing a little bouncy ball around a court. Why?

Not a fan of rugby then?

Nothing thuggish about rugby. They are all things considered a well behaved bunch with respect for the referee.

if you just ignore the high tackles, the eye gouging and the off field drunken antics .I love this respect for the ref .they do have it but it does not make them less thuggish just more respectful of the refs authority.

+1 - football is often just so boring. That match today was really thrilling to watch.

Tribalism. The other thing I dislike about it.

ignore the high tackles
Those short arses are dead tricky to tackle especially when they duck

He probably is the best British tennis player ever.
Listened to the final set in the car and was thoroughly enthralled. Well done Mr. Murray and well done 5 Live commentary team!

I don't care where he comes from, he's a sad sack miserable dour git.
Federer outclasses him in every aspect, Nadal has guile and a good smile.
May the best man win.

Murray has some catching up to do - not least because he actually needs to win something that matters...

Djokovic is the new darling of the tennis world! Has the charisma that Feds pure skill and nadals pure power could never match! He's the complete article and will outwit raffa on Sunday I reckon. Great player and a top man from what I've seen. Murray will be in the top three (maybe two) within a year but I can't see djokovic losing the no 1 spot this year.

Just home from Melb - 2 great games over 2 nights. Not really a tennis fan but had the chance to go. No idea how they play that well - super fast. And I had a photo with Wozniaki and she is smoking hot !!
