The General Tennis Thread
What a performance tonight by Andy Murray, beating Nadal in the US open semi-final.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7602257.stm 6-2, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4 He now faces Federer in the final tomorrow night and i wouldn't bet against Murray winning after tonights performance! He somehow managed to out-muscle Nadal throughout and really looks like a Grand Slam winning tennis player now :) |
Re: Tennis
Yeah, I'm not much of a Murray fan, but he played well, and it's good to see that Nadal's constant cheating didn't earn him another undeserved win here. Looking forward to the final tomorrow, but I hope for Petchey's sake Murray doesn't win. That would literally make his head explode. :)

Re: Tennis
Can someone tell me which channel is showing the US Open final tonight, please?
I'm on Virgin Media and am not used to the sports channels. The listing on VMs tv listing page says its on Sky Sports 1 tonight but the listing on the actual VM box doesn't show the same information, as if its not on (I dont know why they should be different!). Thanks. |

Re: Tennis
G-r-e-a-t match.
Murray has matured and evolved so quickly over the last 18+ months. Federer raised his game - and well played. And... credit to Murray for sending him there. |
Re: Tennis
Yep, hopefully he won't let it deflate him & he'll continue to progress...

Re: Tennis
Good game, Murray played well but Federer was back to his awesome best, thats why he's the greatest tennis player ever imo, 5 times in a row now he's won the US open, amazing. It could have been very different though if the line judge had got the call right in the second set that would have seen Murray break Federer's serve. But Federer definately deserved it overall.

Re: Tennis
Great to see Federer back in slam-winning form. With finals at the French and Wimbledon, gold at the Olympics and now a US Open title, it's another terrific year for the great one, and this in spite of a bout of mono as well. Incredible.

...but it's a single-minded and fighting one. And he seems more focussed now. Federer shone.:tu: |
Re: Tennis
Don't forget folks,Murray is a lot younger than Nadal or Federer and his time will come provided he can avoid too many serious injuries.:)
