Wimbledon 2011
 

Anyone else watching the Tsonga/Federer game? Tsonga has come from 0-2 sets down to break in the first game of the 5th set.. Absolutely amazing..

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Yes l am rooting for Tsonga as anything which can make it easier for Murray l am for.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Nadal will be Murray's semi opponent (that's if both win their quarter finals).. doubt is Tsonga will get pass Djokovic

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

3-1 to Tsonga in the fifth set at the moment.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Fantastic win by Tsonga 3 sets to 2 against Federer after coming from 0-2 down

That is probably the game of the tournament :clap:

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

First time Federer loses a match after going 2-0 up apparently :shocked:

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Nah, he did the same in the mid 2000's (well that's what they said on the commentary ;) )

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Well one less opponent for Murray to face even though Federer is a legend.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Murray v Lopez next.. Interesting fact is that Lopez's last game he also came back from 2-0 down

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Well l do not think that is going to happen here hopefully.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Erm, no - he still has to play someone....

He hasn't got a bye.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

I think there's a good possibility of it happening, Lopez is on his game and in a quarter final of a grand slam.. Also his current service game has been fantastic..

If Lopez can hold his nerve then Murray will struggle especially as he's now in the last British player in Wimbledon self destruct zone!!!

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

l do know that Hugh as my point was one less difficult opponent to play.:)

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Must have missed that bit. I just caught the bit where they said he'd never lost going up 2-0 ;)

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Sure they said 2003, will have to see if I can find it..

Injury to Murray's hip?? He's definitely being careful about it.

Good win by Murray :clap: Straight set win

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

I'm looking forward to Nadal defeating Murray despite his foot injury.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

How come your not cheering on Murray? He is 91% British after all. ;)

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Andy takes the first set (7-5) against Nadal with a break of service in the very last game :D

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Well earlys days yet but keep it up Andy.

Nadal has just broken Murray's serve to go 3-2 up in the second set.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Nadal leads by two sets to one, two games to love in the fourth set.

Shouldn't be too much longer ;)

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Murray has totally fallen apart but we have to remember that Nadal is no1 in the world.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

5-7 6-2 6-2 6-4 to Nadal, with Murray losing seven games in a row, as well as the match.

Nadal will face Djokovic in the final.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

After the first set Nadal just moved up a gear and showed what a great player he is as he blew Murray apart.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Yup. Nadal's in a different league to Murray. I hope he beats Djokovic.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Yes l am not a fan of Djokovic.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

I'd say more that Murray lost it after missing the chance to go 15-40 up and having 3 break points. Once he missed that shot which he should have easily put away he just wasn't the same player, his shoulders dropped and he didn't play anywhere near as well as he can.

That's Murray's problem, he's a great player, potential to beat anyone, but he's emotionally fragile. It doesn't take much to put him completely off his game and then he just makes error after error.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Murray is a very good player but perhaps you are underestimating the high class game that Nadal has and that is why he is number one in the world.

Re: Wimbledon 2011
 

Quite. Nadal is very good at simply defending and getting the ball back into play. He makes very few errors so you have to win the point instead.

Not to mention that being seeded 1 and Murray only 4, Nadal was expected to win that match.

Though Djokovic will be 1 in the world on Monday.
