Well that went quick
He'll never be promoted at this rate. Sometimes I think he wants to be a scotch.
LOL
He may be Scottish but the SNP don't want him to have a vote in the referendum (not resident in Scotland). At least it'll prevent Sean Connery voting too.
That last point was pretty amazing though...
aye
6 o'clock news: Murray Loses in 5-set inevitability...
Murray capitulates in quarter-final/semi-final/final of Grand Slam event (delete as appropriate).
I'd love to know what goes on inside his head during these matches.
don't think you need a psychological weakness to lose to nadal/djokovic/federer, sadly.
His middle name must be Spurs.
it's getting interesting again!
..and he's back in it!
break to love at that point in the match is epic.
I might have to retract that judging by the last couple of games.
don't think you need a psychological weakness to lose to nadal/djokovic/federer, sadly.
there would be a lot of psychologically weak player out there if that was untrue
No shame to either player fro loosing this game
Wow - fightback
what's happened to the bbc stream?!
edited due to posters ^^^^^ Sneaky ninja edit ...they know what they did 😛
don't know if that's directed at me for my now edited comment, but the bbc stream had gone wrong and confused me!
it had jumped back about an hour!
done
Time to bugger off back to Scotland then 😉
Unlucky plucky [s]Brit[/s] Scotch bloke.
So, so close 🙁 I think he's still a Brit after that.
Yet again.
Shame - he really fought his way back into that match too.
and i've only just been able to find out how it finished 😡 😡 😡
Normal order was ultimately restored.
😥 😥 😥
That was a bloomin tight match
does his mum still go to his games?
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?
Sorry if you young ones have no idea what im on about.

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 section
Good effort Murray. Epic entertainment. His Mum's looking well fit these days!!!
He is as it stands the best UK tennis player ever.
Is he? (genuine question)
If so, good on him!
Joking aside, if Murray lives in Surrey (cue a song), does that makes Scotland's leading sportsman ineligible to vote in the referendum?
neninja - MemberMurray 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.
