Well done anyway Murray. Still a fantastic achievement to get to the final (first Scot ever). You never know what might have happened if he'd won that second set.

Good effort, I feel sorry for Murray in virtually any other era he'd have won a few Grandslams.

I will be putting a few quid on Murray to win it next year.

I agree with that. He's still won less Grand Slams than his brother!

He was never really in it after that second set. Fair play to Federer, a true great and credit to Murray for getting this far.

Will Murray get another chance? Hopefully Djokovic will go off a bit. He looked unable to deal with Federer when put under pressure. Federer can't go on forever. That would just leave the glory-hunting, bum-picking, grunting twat to beat.

I hope Murray wins, he might even smile if he does, but reckon it will be Federer 3-1.

Maybe I should stick to tennis predictions in the future.

Just leave the bloke alone, does he really need to give an interview now?

He'll have other chances, this is his what 3rd or 4th Grand Slam final? I'm just not convinced he's quite got what it takes to be a champion. He has the talent but maybe that special something is missing?
I hope he does win one, it would be great for British tennis.

In fairness they do it every year to the winner and loser, it's not as though they're picking on him. I remember the one year the women's loser was in bits.

I was surprised that a British man had never reached the Wimbledon finals in my lifetime until this year.

I didn't want him to cry about it, but strangely it seemed fitting that he did.
