Andy Murray
How do you rate his chances now that Nadal is out of the way?

Re: Andy Murray
I'd like to say good (I thought he played well last night) but unfortunately I think he looks worryingly prone to injury and the number of slips and falls most of the players seem to be suffering (don't know what's wrong with the courts?) won't help.

Re: Andy Murray
Murray always seem to fall at the last fence. Was a good game though last night. I have always routed for Nadal so am neutral now.

Re: Andy Murray
Has there ever been such a pain in the backside, long string of misery character when it comes to getting interviewed ?
He has a face like a mile of bad road and a voice to match and obviously despises every second of it, so why does he even bother ?
Is it a compulsory thing where he's dragged kicking and screaming to the mike or can he not do an Alex Fergie and say bullocks to the lot of yer ?

If he keeps injury free then he has a chance but there are still some great players left in the tournament.

Re: Andy Murray
Wow! He's in the final! Didn't see the match as I was out but got home just in time to see the last two games.
He may be a bit graceless in interviews, but I'd rather have someone like that who comes out a winner than old Tim Nice But Dim who absolutely bottled it every time he looked to be in with a chance of winning an important match.
I'll be glued to the box on Sunday afternoon, cheering for Andy.

Oh dear, that'll put my mum in a bad mood, she can't stand him.
Don't suppose they'll show it on Spanish TV but I'm still in mourning for Rafa anyway, and it wouldn't be seemly to cheer anyone else.

Re: Andy Murray
I feel sorry for Andy, he seems to be similar to my youngest son, never really lets his real enthusiasm show through as he's afraid of looking like a twit, although no amount of encouragement will change his mind.
I really hope Andy wins tomorrow just for the sheer joy of watching his face, I'm sure I won't be the only one in tears for him. He deserves to win for his sheer determination.. Go Andy Go xxxxx

Re: Andy Murray
He comes from north of that there Hadrian's wall. All those who follow him that i have seen in the media always have the Scottish flag (not the Union Jack)emblazoned about their person. I am English and everytime an English person or team competes i get the feeling that those Scots want them to get beat, and badly. Shame really, but bearing that in mind i have to say........

Re: Andy Murray
Well, what a shame, the fairytale ending wasn't to be. I was getting my hopes up after Andy won the first set, but Federer was just too good in the end. All credit to Andy Murray though, he never gave up trying and I thought he conducted himself so well throughout the match. His disappointment now during the post match interview is so touching, he can barely speak. Poor lad, I'm sure he'd much rather head straight for the locker room.

Well it wouldn't have seemed right anyway.
I mean to say, a Jock winning Wimbledon, whatever next ?
Reckon they should stick to tossing their cabers,...or whatever else it is they toss up there.

Re: Andy Murray
I believe he gave it his all today but RF outclassed him even at the grand old age of 30. I thought his interview was quite revealing, perhaps he's not that bad after all.

Re: Andy Murray
Georgia Ford, a Sunderland FC fan who described herself as a 'canny lass', felt the full force of a storm of abuse after asking an innocent - if naive - question about Wimbledon.
She tweeted: 'Is Wimbledon always held in London?'
