Why, what did he do to the line judge's neighbour?

andy murray in the final of the US open today! i want him to win it, anyone else care if he does or not?

[Dave Cooper please]

Not really.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Hope he wins it, but unless it's quite windy I can see Djokovic winning.

At least Djokovic isn't an annoying little rat-faced wanker like Nadal though.

Of course I want him to win.  I quite like the bloke to be honest mainly because everyone seems to hate him.

I thought this was mildly amusing:

When Sir Sean Connery rolled with some jollity into Andy Murray's victory press conference at Flushing Meadows on Saturday night, unannounced and accompanied by Sir Alex Ferguson and the player's mother, Judy, there was a sense that Scotland's invasion of New York this year might be a very happy one. Murray, who lost to Roger Federer here four years ago, is through again to the final of a weather-bedevilled event that, for the fifth year in a row, will be decided on a Monday – against either the defending champion Novak Djokovic or David Ferrer, who led 5-2 when play was suspended because of a growling storm that enveloped the site.

The exchange, peppered by much lubricated laughter, went like this: Connery: "Excuse me for interrupting, but I just wanted to make a point. Where's Alex? [Applause]. I don't know where your mother is. Ah, there she is."

Murray: "Are you going to be around tomorrow?" Connery [deaf to the question]: "Come on, Judy. Judy, Judy, Judy." Murray [to his mum]: "You smell of wine." Judy [nodding at Ferguson]: "He made me have wine. He's just been telling me that Scotland invented the world." Ferguson: "Been coming here the last three years to New York, and I explained how Scotland invented the world; today we invented the wind."

Connery: "Today they conquered the world!" Ferguson: "Very good. Fantastic." Murray [beaming and bemused]: "See you after the match tomorrow." Ferguson: "Continue your interview … You know I don't talk to journalists."

And with that, the Caledonian sideshow was done, just the tonic Murray needed after a gruelling four-set win conducted in a minor gale.

Very harsh on Nadal I think! I actually prefer him to Federer and Djokovic

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

Its times like this I wish I still had Sky. This should really be on the Beeb.
Ive got a feeling that at the 5th time of asking, Britains Andy Murray will do it.

Miss Croft wearing next to nothing again.
Thumbs up from me.

Nadal's a cheat. Whenever his opponent is on top he spends ages picking his arse in between shots to try to slow their momentum. He also grunts all the time to try put his opponents off.

Anyway, come on Andy! Breaks Erin Djokovic in the first game. 🇬🇧

[villan1975]

Come on Djokovic.

Not sure who I hate more,Murray or his mother....both equally after careful consideration.

Murray's mom reminds me of Susan Kennedy out of Neighbours. Cracking rally a few games back.

You watch Neighbours ?
Lucky you only said that in a quiet corner of H & V.

More like Mrs.Mangle or some such made up person who was never in neighbours,or she could have been because I never watched it.

Come on anyone other than Murray.

[bertlambshank]

1st set Murray.

[garyshawsknee]

I'm not a tennis fan,but this is worth watching,nothing can go wrong now.
