Andy Murray
He just beat Nadal convincingly to get to the US Open final. Gotta play Federer in the final. Looks like

On TalkSport the other day, they were burying Murray after his QF win because he didn't celebrate like a nutter. Maybe he just waits until.... I dunno... he wins a fucking major!!!
Go on son! Need some fucking Scottish joy this week. |

The tennis the two of them were playing yesterday was on the level of the Federer/Nadal Wimbledon final. Absolutely superb stuff. I fear he'll have peaked a little too soon, but all the best to him, I really hope he pulls it off.

No point in fearing he's peaked a little too soon, you gotta reach your peak to beat nadal.

Peaked too soon? How old is Rafa again?
fair play for not over-celebrating before getting a proper result. It shows he has high standards for himself, but in interviews and any time he is just generally chatting, he is a miserable motherfucker at best. |

He probably doesn't care for the media attention, and just wants to play. That or he is a miserable bugger.

Murray was decent though fed was too good. Murray will go even higher in the rankings, he's 4th now, this is just the start!

You know, when you think about it. F1, Murray Nadal, Amir Khan, UFC, Unforgiven, Murray, Federer, and Raw. It's been a pretty good 3 days of sport.
Oh, and england played. Shame Murray, Khan and Hamilton all basically lost, like.... |

Murray didn't stand a chance, gotta appreciate the effort at least. Had he faced a "fresh" Nadal, i'm not sure he even would've made it to the final though.
Yay for my boy Federer btw ![]() |

Fuck off. Murray played the best game of his life and Nadal didn't have an answer for him. Being fresh is an excuse. Seeded players get beat in the opening round of grand slams all the time too and they are fresh. You don't go undefeated against the other top players through out your career. Fact.

Some people just can't take a clean win or loss in sport. Murray was better than Nadal and beat him. Murray was not as good as Federer and lost.
Just because he lost to Federer, doesn't cheapen his victory over Nadal. Just because he beat him, doesn't mean there was something wrong with Rafa, it means Murray was shit hot. |

Dunno, did he? Either way, you know what i meant. Its very rare for us to have Brits int he final of grand slams. Even rarer for them to actually win grandslams,i fully believe murray will win a few grand slams though.

Well after watching the whole Murray/Nadal match I apologize and take back what I said, Andy simply outworked and outhustled Nadal pure and simple. The kid does have great footwork and a crazy serve, he just ran into a revitalized Roger Federer, but if he keeps playing the way he does, he'll be sure to win some slams soon.

Having the world's fastest serve, on a hard court can do wonders.
That being said, he was a hell of a player before he got injured. Took Sampras to the limit at Wimbledon one time. Coincidentally, going to see Sampras at the Masters tournement at the Albert Hall in December. ![]() |
