On beating Nadal in the US Open semi-final!!

 

Was such a good match yesterday/today. Exceptional tennis from both Nadal and Murray - the best ever match i've ever seen Murray play. I really fancy him to beat Federer tomorrow too... should be an interesting final to say the least.

Just saw the last couple of games, well done Murray :)

I've spent the last 90 minutes watching it, as I did yesterday evening.

 

With this result Andy Murray has proved thast he is a better Tennis player than Tim Henman ever was, whilst he should thank his lucky stars that Max Mosley does not control the sport of Tennis.

I would love to be able to see this tonight, alas I don't have Sky Sports so never mind. :manson: I'll have to make do with Five Live. :lol:

Shame he's such a c**t... The only British Sportsman I can think of I won't ever support.

To be fair to him, he's lowered his tone a lot of late.

Well he's still doing his arrogant poser-like muscle kiss as soon as he wins,

Congrats! to him! but it means not much in history if he doesn't win now. Runners up are rarely remembered. Except in Britain where we cling onto any hope we can :lol:

 

Federer's had that little bit more time to recover for the final too. But if you can beat Nadal, and beat Djokovic before the Olympics in the Masters Final, then Federer is definitely beatable! Just goes to show how much Murray cared about the Olympics :lol:

he's scottish

why would i want him to win?

 

COME ON FEDERER!

Sir Alex is Scottish :kink:

he's scottish

why would i want him to win?

 

Funny, I often feel the same way about Sir Alex Ferguson. :rofl:

 

If he wins (which I think he won't as Roger Federer has shown in this tournament that he is finally getting over the pre-season virus that has affected him all year, and has crucially had an extra day's rest, I would not be surprised to see that McKevin the Teenager Andrew Murray played his final in the Semi's to defeat Nadal), then for me he simply has to win Sports Personality Of The Year.

If Murray wins, then Sports Personality could be come very interesting. I always thought Chris Hoy would get it, or maybe Rebecca Addlington, but if Murray wins, then his name will have to be thrown into the mix too... is a massive achivement if he wins the US Open.

Andy Murray is a bit of a c**k :angry: but i have to say he's a good tennis player.

 

I won't support him anymore than i would support anyone else of a completely foreign nationality because he hates the English so much. -_-

 

I really don't want him to win Sports Personality award at all <_<

Sir Alex is Scottish :kink:

Manchester United aren't :D

Manchester United aren't :D

 

Very true they are American owned. God bless the U.S of A. :D

 

Anyway Murray has lost the first set & is a break down in the second, looking like a pale imitation of the player who demolished Nadal so it is looking all irrelevent.

all over, Federer played very well..

 

Not sure about Sports Personality, Andy Murrey is a terrible personality ! and unless everything is going his way tends to sulk instead of face up to things.

Murray was good last night, it was just Federer was twice as good. He looks to be back in form now, and he countered Murray's game so well. I reckon he'll be back to being World #1 next year.

Sadly Hamilton will win Sports Personality for winning the F1 title this season not that the arrogant oaf has any personality

 

Murray did well but Greg Rusedski got to a US Open final once and did sod all else in his career so let's not get too excited yet

Since when as having the same self confidence of A Senna & M Schumacher and the raw driving talent to match been a handicap?

 

However, after Sunday's F1 decision Massa is as good as F1 champion for 2008 (certainly the flood of (cynical) bets taken since then suggest so).

 

Secondly, Murray is a different animal to Rusedski or Henmen, as he seems to possess the same will to win that the less talented Rusedski had, and the same class as "nice but" Tim Henman had in there heyday, and he is only 21 (in the same way the too many people forget that Lewis Hamilton is only in his second season in F1, and unless having a pop star girlfriend sways him like it did to Jacque Villeneuve then I think provided he maintains that hunger that he currently has then he will go down as one of the all-time greats as he has already proved this season that he is no one season wonder out-driving the superior Ferrari package in 2008.

 

Thirdly, I think it is a two horse battle for the Sports Personality Of The Year of 2008 between Olympians Rebecca Adlington & Chris Hoy as the awards are on the BBC.

Yeah Murray's completely different to both Henman and Rusedski - he's a much better player than both of them. Unless he has any sort of major injuries, then I don't think it's beyond his doing that he could challange for a Grand Slam next year, and the Top 3 could be increased to a Top 4...
