Wimbledon 2008

2 Attachment(s)

To kick things off, looks like Murray is having a tough match against Gasquet.

2 sets down & games going with service in the third, 5 - 4 to Gasquet at the moment.

As an aside, anyone ever seen Murray & Marlon Dingle in the same room? :erm:

Murray just won! He was two sets down, about to lose the match. But won the set, then another one, and just won this one! :D

Well as I hardly ever delve into the Sports forum and I didn't even know there was a thread about tennis..last time I looked it was all Formula 1 or football.

I didn't even know he was playing until I visited another site...;)

Re: Wimbledon 2008

I haven't watched tennis in a long time, but I find myself glued to the screen when Andy Murray plays.
2 years ago he had very little sponsorship and poor coaching and it showed in how early he left the competition.
Now he looks a lot fitter and going by tonights game looks able to go the distance but we'll see. Bearing in mind he's only just left his teens, I hope he does well.

I for one hope he loses big time against Nedal. Murray is still too arrogant and cocky with no charisma at all. His younger brother is a much better example than he is.

Perhaps arrogance and cockiness are what's needed in a winner?:shrug:

After all diffidence and good manners didn't get Henman the ultimate prize:(.

Still doesn't change the way I feel about him, he's not the right role model for the sport (yet). And I wasn't disputing his ability on the court.

Henman just wasn't good enough, nothing to do with being nice etc. Murray is a bad loser, and don't have the right qualities to be a winner even if he does actually win the tournament.

Not saying it's right but that's how it seems.:shrug:
