good match and well played by both players .murry's second serve though realy is not good enough too slow and far too predictable easily the worst part of his game |

"Cpl of years ago I think Andy would have lost that game, these days I think he has come on a long way and his attitude has helped him overcome this "
Totally agreed he's matured into his game!! Sadly still don't think he'll ever pick up ths particular trophy  |

Maybe this is the one that's not to be, but I hope he can do it |

Bit controversial on my part maybe
But I hope he doesn't win it
He has the personality of a wet fish
Obviously like all our other tennis personalities he was born with a silver spoon on his mouth and like Tim henman was able to get to where he is know without much worry
Granted a lot of hard work too
I watched a game the other week were he brought on a mascot .. Not once did he look at the child ( who was no doubt in his element) smile at him or even say a word .. I just thought how cold he appeared to be
Lastly I just get sick and tired of the hype
Henman hill
Murray mound
All the hopes of a nation
Pity we can't focus so much attention and hope on getting our young people employment
And yes I have totally gone off the point here lol
I just hope someone with a bit of character and personality wins |

"Blimey that was a lucky escape!
If I didn't know better, Sir Alex gave him a pep talk after he lost second set, he knows a thing or two about comebacks!
   "
yes and I wonder if he's planning his own comeback |

I never get this comment,normally it is said from people who live in Scotland though.
All this division when people play sports I just don't get....but maybe it is because I don't care which part of the British Isles they are from I would support them |

Murray has the appeal of a used condom - how any company would want to sponsor such a spoilt brat snob is beyond me. If he doesn't win this year he never will - all the decent players have been knocked out or withdrawn. Maybe its just me but he has a face I could happily slap as soon as look at him |

Oh dear; you just made a comparison between Andy Murray & Tim Henman!
That's like comparing a Lion with a Pussycat!!! |

I think he seems a really decent bloke who's inspired lots of kids to believe the can achieve sporting success if they are prepared to put in the hard works and dedication needed to reach the top level like he has….
I’ve never met the guy ….
But I think I’d rather spend time in his company that in the company of people who judge and criticise others based on nothing more than how they appear during TV interviews..

He is not a prime candidate for sponsorship that is for sure as he just doesn't come across as interesting or very likeable. |

I have to be honest, he comes across as a miserable sod when being interviewed...he isn't the only one though....but...it sometimes shocks me at some of the venom that gets posted about him...I think it says more about those people than him |

From what I have seen from him on his TV interviews he appears to be more shy than arrogant, not everyone in life is loud and brash....some find it difficult to talk in public.
I'm not a big tennis fan at all, but I am guessing that his ability to play tennis at the very top is more important to him than his ability to give a decent interview on television.
Some of the descriptions of him on this thread are ridiculous and an awful lot of the remarks come across as childish to be honest. |

I don't get the venom towards him, I'm not a tennis fan. I do recognise dedication and hard work, focus can make some people appear dull.
However, he hasn't said or done anything wrong. |

I love the criticsm of professional sportsmen and women from people who tell you how easy it is for them and how crap they are etc often from people who couldn't run 5 ft without having a sit down. He may not be interesting to you, but he's a very very good tennis player and carries himself very well. I find it even more amusing how they seem to know the personality of the person having never met them, but I suspect those criticising would be much better players and probably be fascinating as well, if only they could manage to lift their arses off the sofa |

Too true!!!
Also, at the end of his career he won't be judged by his personality, he'll be judged by his Grand Slam & tournament wins!! |

It beggars belief that some people would judge the guy harshly on his post match demeanour whilst being interviewed literally 5 minutes after the emotional and physical exertion of flogging his body and soul to their maximum limits for 2 to 3 hours or more….
Ffs I wouldn’t be able to breath or stand let alone give a coherent post match interview if I were able to put out just half of what he puts out in a game..!
Good luck in the final... and well done for what you've achieved so far.... |

There are some very sour people on here! They see a guy giving an interview right after a 4 hour game of tennis and get upset because hes not got the energy to do cart wheels! Lol.
