    You obviously don't watch tennis and know nothing about tennis!!

    Because if you did how you could possibly say that murray will not win another major this year...grass is his best surface - so he must be in with a shout for Wimbledon again

    It really stinks when fellow countrymen have no "faith" in a guy who has broken just about every record there is to be broken for a Brit....

    For goodness sake we should be celebrationg the gift that that andy is to tennis

    And don't say your being realistic cause your not!!!


    He may not win Roland garos...but he will be in with a real shout with the other 3...He is without doubt starting to play "unbelievable" tennis
    Get behind him he deserves it!!

    Murray has had a good tournament even though he'll get hammered now.

    Simona Halep has been by far the best player in the women's singles. If she makes it through to the final against Sharapova she has a really good chance of winning the tournament. The big question mark will be whether or not she can handle the occasion of her first Grand Slam final or not. We know Sharapova will handle the occasion, she's been there so many times before.

    As far as the actual tennis goes though, Halep has played much better than Sharapova throughout the tournament.


    :smiley-laughing002: I suspected as much.

    I had money on her too. It was looking a bit ropey there for a while, Bouchard played really well.

    Bouchard did play well. A had £15 on that double but there offering me £9.56 cash out. So would only lose the £5.44. So a think I'll cash accept the small loss.

    On the other hand a can still see Flora Tallin getting the draw and that's all I need. Decisions!

    Simona Halep through to the final. This could be one of the best women's finals for years. Will definitely be watching it.

    Murray will lose to Nadal for sure tomorrow. Everyone bar Soderling has at the French after all. I think he'll be very happy with his progress in his return to fitness however. Kept everything for the 5th set v Monfils in such a professional manner.

    As long as Federer, Roanic and all the other big servers don't win titles, I'm happy.

    I had Petkovic at 100/1 each way before the start of the tournament, she nearly took it into a third set today. :31:

    Đoković-Gulbis at 12.00 GMT, so, when they finish their match, Nadal and Murray start.

    Why you such a * when it comes to big servers? The serve is a potent weapon absolutely nothing wrong with having a big serve.

    Well, where do I start with this lol? Did you watch the rallies in the Monfils v Murray match? That's a joy to watch. Djokovic v that Raonic was just pathetic. Lucky if you got 6 ground strokes in a point!

    It's just a bore fest watching those types. Sampras was ridiculous although at least the likes of him and Federer were good shot makers also.

    So glad you get good returners in the sport or I'd fall away from it again like I did back then.
