    Berdych has done well to make a game of this again - he looked dead and buried at the end of the 3rd set. Got to serve to stay in the match now - a real test of nerve with the swirling wind.

    Just flicked over to watch this on Sky. The angle of the camera is doing my head in though.

    The kid clearly has plenty of big game bottle cos he could easily have crumbled in that tie-break.

    It's not a grand slam I think all tennis players strive for one of those .

    Ah, you mean the Olympics - we've generally been talking about Slams.

    Well done Andy. Put the disappointment of the Moldova result behind him and got on with bidness.

    Winning a gold in the Olympics is amazing but the slams are what they play for . I think this is his best chance his at his best now

    Do they really?

    You said he couldn't keep losing in finals, I pointed out he'd won the last big final he played.

    Well you might not, but the players seem to love it. All the (fit) big players were there and Feds desperately wanted to win but Andy beat 'The Best Ever' fair and square.

    Even if Murray never wins a Slam, he's a sportsman we can be proud of - he's talented, dedicated and professional. I don;t think anyone can question his drive and determination. Henman (who I was a fan of) definitely bottled chances in big tournaments against players he should beat, Murray pretty much only loses to the big 3 these day, in Slams, and there is zero shame in that.

    Next Olympics will be counted as an additional grand slam, so obviously the tennis players and governing body think the Olympics are as worthy as the slams

    Exiled the next season is intresting as Nadal is fighting injury and federer is getting on. Novak looks a force but Murray bar maybe the French could push on
