Murray bricks it...Roger was his puppet master and made him play like utter crap. Good stuff.

Anybody notice Murray's attempt at feigning injury?? Occasionally he would lose track of which leg was supposed to be hurting, and he'd grab the wrong leg after a lost point. hahahaha.

No, he was talking about his daughter, they might be sitting there next year.


Phew! Thank goodness for that, tennis would be a lot duller without him.

He's the only guy who can do the Grand Slam now, the chances are slim but a lot will depend on how Rafa is come the French.

Shame he didn't take the US, would have had a FedererSlam.

It will be interesting to see how he copes with this loss :?

To be totally honest he deserves a Grand Slam more than Del Potro


And more than Djokovic.

to me this could signal a change in style for Murray tho. He needs to up his aggressive play, and he was doing quite a lot more of that tonight for me - he's just not used to it yet...not comfy with being mid-court and having a winner to put away. he should keep this up and get good with it...its the only way he'll challenge Fed or any other consistent aggessors, but he's shown he's capable of it, just needs honing/sharpening up.

i reckon if Murray had played that game style against anyone else on the current circuit, he'd have won in 3 himself. that was just not the usual sit-back and wait Murray we're used to seeing. Keep it up Andy and good things will come!!!

Djokovic sucks now he really does
Del potro sucks too tbh his mental state not good always :P
Clilic up and coming
Tsonga mayby
Roddick plays very well but it always ends.
Murray has a good chance of dominating

As much as I love Nadal, I can't see him getting back to his best after all these injuries :(

Federer said it, Murray is too good a player not to win a grand slam... I really wish Murray was more upbeat in the 3rd set. Not enough 'COME ON's

Roger was barely missing.

Agreed, as a top player if you get a short ball it has to be curtains for your opponent. Andy played very well against Rafa, he just has to keep going and working hard, he isn't far off by any means.

That's true, my Lorenz has about as much power as Murray.

"I can cry like Roger, but I can't play like him"

Great quote, but that obviously hurt a lot.


I wonder if he faked the whole crying thing, just so he could take a jab at Roger for crying last year.

Congrats Rog. I hate your guts, but I have to admit, you are a gift to tennis. The greatest player of all time. So smooth, so good.

Much respect and I'm sure 17 is closeby now that Nadal is playing on one leg and every other scrub fears you like a god.
