Title: Australian Open Tennis
Post by: Dave Cooper please on January 28, 2011, 11:37:04 AM
That daft Scottish miserablist Murray, after a dodgy start, is taking Ferrer apart in his semi-final.

No Nadal or Federer in the final, got to be his best chance ever of a Grand Slam surely?

I hope he gets humiliated in the final.

Mrs Redsox lost in the women's doubles final today. She was looking stunning as usual.

Upset to see Mrs Submariner lose the Women's semi yesterday.

my kids play lots of tennis and love andy murray. I hope he wins but i feel he can be slightly too negative in games that he is on top in and especially in grand slams!
Everyone should forget the paraguay thing now, for fucks sake even i hate ashley cole, rio, stevie g, lamps and rooney and all that team england bollocks and i am english!

I like him.

Ferrer has come back at him in the 4th set, can see this going to a 5th.

I hope he wins it, but can see Djokovic winning.

Murray, I don't mind. I can't stand his Mum or his girlfriend.

Still, we have a nice little silver plate for the mantelpiece

Murray manages to come across as both arrogant and boring at the same time. That takes some doing

With the time difference, I used that as an excuse to stay in bed till nearly lunchtime and watch in on TV.
I fully intend doing the same for the final on Sunday, is it an 8.30am start again?

Come on Britains Andy Murray !

8 30  am Sunday the final- I wish him well but he strikes me as being unable to finish off people when on top, he lacks the killer instinct that makes a champion , a bit of henman about him in that respect I feel, something of a nearly man being kind or a bottler if being cruel.

I hope he wins it and celebrates by burning the St George's flag in the middle of the court while maintaining a surly scowl, just to annoy everyone.

I would DEFINITELY smash it.

I'm terribly clumsy with plates.

I hope he loses in the final.

Pretty typical of quite a few Brits that viewpoint. 

I think he gets a raw deal personally.  A lot of people still hold a jokey sort of comment he made years ago against him

He may be a bit dull but he's passionate and full of fight.  He's also very good so i'll support him if no one else will.

He usually is, but he looks terrible out there right now. No fire, no fight, just horribly resigned to his fate. It's kind of awful to watch.

He's been shit. If he can't win it when the Celtic and Rangers of tennis have both been knocked out he never will. How's Laura Robson doing these days?

Another henman I'm afraid- lacks the killer instinct of champions and will forever be the bridesmaid- bottler when it really counts!

To be fair he's the number 5 in the world playing the number 3 - it would be an upset if he won.

When I see his Mum, I can't help thinking she kicks the shit out of him in the changing room when he loses, and has done it since he was a child.

I agree.
If you were a bit off form, who would you rather face?
