Tennis 2013

Djokovic must be playing the best he's ever played and he's looked it throughout the tournament. Murray still has the little matter of beating a 6'8" Pole who has already served 94 aces but if he can do that, all you can say is that Murray did it in the US Open last year against Djokovic and hope for the best.

Djokovic-Murray matches always seem to be 5-set epics that go on for about 5 hours and leave eachother with nothing left to give. If that were to be the scenario on Sunday, you just hope that the Del Potro match will show at some point. Of course the Murray match could go 5 sets but I bet a lot of the rallies will be a lot shorter.

The Scot loses the first set on a tie-breaker, a pretty one way tie-break it has to be said.

Have to say, Janowicz is exactly the kind of player I've always found most tedious. Some freak kid thudding them down with an incredibly annoying grunt noise. A machine could do what he does.

The Brit breaks in the first game.

Does anyone else hate Murry as much as me?

Don't know who Murry is, but to hate Murray just seems a bit weird. Dislike him, fine, but don't you think 'hate' is a little a strong?

No I like him. Why do you hate him, out of interest?

[PeterWithesShin]

One set all.

And I have no reason to hate him.

I hope it's not because of that England comment years ago.

[Doorbell]

I like him.  He's proving that he's the real deal, has it all in his locker.  Good luck to him.

[Slaphead]

I do actually hate him, sorry I made a spelling mistake.... Handing myself into the police right now.

I hate him because he is the most miserable sportsman I have ever witnessed on my TV screen, he whines and moans constantly, rude to the people he meets, he never ever smiles at anything and is an obnoxious twat.

Then there is the anti England comment he made that I have never forgave him for, you just know he hates the English by his demeanour.

Either way he is a grumpy miserable bastard.

But yes, absolutely fantastic player who I do enjoy watching.

[Monty]

And I gather you know he's obnoxious to everyone from all the times you've met him. Still, waste your hatred on a sportsman if you must.

I assumed it was because of that. Seems we have to have this discussion every year.

Just in case it was that, here's what happened...

Tim Henman, Andy Murray and a journalist were talking. Henman spent a long time taking the piss out of Scotland. Scotland never qualify, Scotland's shit at sport and so on. The journalist then asked Murray who he wanted to win the World Cup. Murray said, in response to Henman's piss-taking, "anyone but England". It was a friendly dig at Henman not the English nation. Murray's missus is English. The journalist did a hatchet-job which only the most idiotic would feel meant Murray hates the English. If anything, Scottish people have far more reason to hate Henman. They don't though, on the whole.

[Slaphead]

So you love John Terry and Ashley Cole then?

I can hate who I want and I can enjoy doing, just wonderd if others shared my sentiment.

You assumed but ignored the main part of my post to justify a presumption.

I hate him because he is an obnoxious and grumpy twat.
