Tennis

[Scratchy Bollock]

Amazing set. Top tennis and despite Murray looking tired, he looked the better player (Just) throughout most of that.

[Rorschach]

The weather could be Murray's toughest opponent today. He already looks like he's in the fifth set.

I'm not so worried; he is extremely fit and has already mostly recovered his composure. A few more 20+ stroke points and his level would've probably dropped though.

INCEPTION

Murray is pretty fit. Maybe he's just one of those guys that looks a mess throughout? I know some guys I play squash with that I'm always convinced I've exhausted but they keep on trucking.

[feltmonkey]

what's going on? it's like this set the old, passive Murray has returned.

edit - oh my word he stepped it up in that Djokavic service game though! back on serve.

Yay for the twitter morons of great britain

People are so strange.

[Swallow]

That has got to hurt Djok.

[Shoes]

Ooh. Break up in the second now!

[hoot]

Amazing

[footle]

Well, he's never going to have a better chance.

[Dudley]

If I've got this right, scientifically this means Andy Murray is currently from somewhere around Birmingham.

[PaB]

Murray has saved his best for the final that's for sure. On the evidence of both players form in the earlier rounds I felt djokovic looked far stronger. But in the final Murray has turned it up to 11.

[feltmonkey]

i can't believe Murray turned that set around. brilliant stuff.

[PaB]

Wow that was a superb break

[hmm]

Hadn't really got around to watching much of the tournament so far but glad my hangover ensured I caught this. Some bloody brilliant tennis going on, even ignoring the historic result we're heading towards.

[feltmonkey]

right, the key here is that old adage - when you've got someone down, don't take your foot off their throat.

[Andross]

He's going to go full retard...

[feltmonkey]

uh-oh. 0-30.

broken, and it'd back on serve. does Murray even read my posts?

Djokavic has come back to life here in ominous style.

[Plums]

Djokovic. It's right there on the screen.

[feltmonkey]

lol fair point!

this is looking ominous. i'm starting to think the story here might be about how Murray lost despite being two sets and a break up...

[Chooch]

Tennis matches are amazing roller coasters. It really is an incredibly stressful sport to watch.

[pledge]

The commentator went way over the top just after the second set, basically saying it was over.

[feltmonkey]

Murray clawing his way back in with another break. crazy set.

[Gabzy]

Djokovic is suddenly looking pretty tired, panting a lot. At least it's not just Murray!

Another break, come on now Andy take control and hold on.

[Scratchy Bollock]

Djokovic has to be wondering what's happening here. He's being matched point for point by Murray. I reckon we'll be seeing quite a few epic finals between these two over the next four years.

LOL, Becker in seedy German porn star voice after seeing Ronnie Wood; "Jumping Jack Flaaash"

[feltmonkey]

how many times has Djokovic (i'm getting it right now - thanks, Plums!) slipped? and yet it's Murray who's changing his shoes.

yet another crucial service game goes to 30-30. both players are making such inroads on their opponent's second serves that every game ends up being on a knife edge.

Murray just won the game with a superb running forehand down the line!

[Andross]

Someone bring the defibrillator...

[hmm]

3 or 4 unbelievable points for Murray in the last couple of games.

[feltmonkey]

if anything, the standard has gone up in the last few minutes. some amazing points!

a break! another break!

[DC Lemon]

Great stuff from Murray. Gotta be in the bag now. You can't break a serve in that fashion and mess it up...

[footle]

Well, he's never going to have a better chance.

Ok. He doesn't get a better chance than this... :-)
