That said - has anyone seen him smile?

[Mcshammer_dj]

I think we should all get behind the great BRITISH hope in Murray.

 

Until the great Scottish git fails.

i just dont think even winning will make him happy and if you arnt happy playing a sport then youre in the wrong game

[laserblazer]

Yes, when he hit Lendl during the charity doubles at Queens. Apparently, they had a side bet on who would get hit first.

Not when there is more than one of them - but I will gladly include you if you would like me to

[Sunnyknight]

So other than being a total twat, he hasn't smiled. Lord have mercy on his Mrs.

 

Edit: @witch no no no, that's okay lol

Well, what can I say? ;P But anyway I hope he wins ONLY for the sake of British Tennis! Not because I want him to win, because I don't.

The surprises keep on coming!

 

Serena Williams [World number 1 and Wimbledon favourite] has been eliminated by Sabine Lisicki [Ranked: 23]

Murray's going through a dodgy patch!

Murray's going through a dodgy patch!

 

At home now and watching the Murray match.

 

First set to Murray. Second set currently 5 games all.

 

Edit: Is Murray carrying an injury now after slipping?

 

He has winced and held his side when making shots.

Add detail to the post.

Jeez... thought I'd read the thread to get a feel and wish I hadn't!

 

I disliked Murray intensely for that comment during the world cup about supporting anyone but England, but then I read it in the context of what he said and had a good old belly laugh at his sense of humour.

 

Those of you slagging him off for his "anti - English" stance would do well to do some research into it.

 

Come on Andy... Beat Djok!

[6Foot2]

Congratulations to Andy Murray.

I think we can all agree....

 

I called that!!

[witch]

AND he said it was a british win...

[rich_tech]

All around brilliant weekend for uk sport I thought, considering the lions won in awesome style yesterday morning too.

[DrCheese]

Alex Salmond trying to put a Scottish flag around the back of Cameron was just stupid.

[rickjames]

The papers are having a field day, then.

It would have been a Scottish loss. Well done Andy and well done Scotland

no.. the only people that say this.. are the ones that say this!

[Alkaline]

I did not think he would do it, Nerves seem to have got the better of him in the past when he got close, but was very surprised when he won.

[Gatt]

Well done Andy Murray!

Great day for Britain and British Sport!

 

He did fantastic against Djokovic, who was, unusually off his game in a big way - almost 40 unforced errors if I recall and getting a bit wound up when he ran out of challenges in the 2nd set..

[6Foot2]

...almost 40 unforced errors if I recall..

 

Almost spot on with the unforced errors stats:

And to think that, you know, there's far worse and more serious things happening in the world right now than a man hitting a ball around for fun.
