So are Hutton's. Must be a Scottish thing.

Well done Murray.

[cdbearsfan]

YEEEEESSS!!!

Well done Andy. Excluding the French, which he missed through injury, he's now made the last five Grand Slam/Olympic Finals. Even Slaphead would have to say that's a fantastic achievement for the greatest British tennis player of all time.

Did he win then?

Interesting to hear how strongly Big Mac favoured him for the final. Obviously you expect a certain no-risk pandering to his British paymasters, but he was more strenuous than he needed to be. And he knows a thing or two about tennis.

I make it 50-50. Can't choose between them on grass.

Fred Perry might not agree.

Murray's playing at the same time as three of the best half a dozen players of all time and has still made the final in the last five majors he's entered. Best ever, I reckon, while acknowledging it's different to compare players from different eras.

Murray's challenges are always shite.

They are; but there's times where he uses them tactically i.e. to catch his breath after a long rally or to try and upset his opponent's rhythm.

The level Djokovic has been playing at during Wimbledon is higher than the level Murray has been playing at. He's going to have play to an unbelievable level to beat him. For me, Djokovic is rightfully the favourite but hope the underdog has his day.

I don't see Murray as that much of an underdog. This is his manor.

To be honest, despite Murrays poor dip in form against Verdasco, they've been pretty much at the same level in my opinion. If anything I think Murray may have even played a little better than Djokovic today (unbelievable match though he was in). The way Murray worked out and then took apart his opponents serve was incredible.

I'd make Djokovic the slightest of favorites in terms of ability, but then you factor in playing on grass (Murray thrashed him in the olympics) and then the home crowd, and for me it really is a coin toss.

Regarding the "Murray hates the English" crap that comes up from the minority each year, then yeah, living in England and having an English girlfriend really shows how much he despises us.
