    Murray holds though. Tougher now than a year ago, Lendl has made a big difference.
  • C'mon Andy!

    4-1 in the final set - just has to hold his serve & he's through.

    Yay! Just stuck it on my work computer in time for the two match points ;) great timing. Well done Andy! Final should be a cracker. Djokovic has to be favourite, but Murray has it in his locker to win
  • Monkey is truly off his back now. I totally expected him to tie it up in that last set. We truly do have a potential number 1 British tennis player here - seems strange even now! He has proved so many people wrong.

    Just be nice to get behind a Brit winner really. When success comes round in a sport where we have had none for so long, some people dont want it?!

    Matter of opinions, you support him, I can't stand him, irrespective of his nationality

    you feared unnecessarily. He has the talent but sometimes lacked the toughness needed. Mentally much tougher now and a big monkey off his back today. Well done Andy.

    Funny how some want a Scot to lose but were happy for loads of athletes to pick up Olympic medals in the name of Great Britain when they are really foreigners. Strange.

    If Andy Murray was a footballer which team would he be most suited to ?



    I know the answer by the way.

    Apart from the Davis Cup and the Olympics, men’s tennis is an individual sport. People can support who they like regardless of their nationality. Andy Murray is playing for Andy Murray, not GB or even Scotland.
    I'm a big fan of Federer and wanted him to win. Like in golf I want Tiger to win unless it's the Ryder Cup and then I'd even cheer Colin Montgomery even though I despise him.
    No need for anyone to swear at each other over it.

    Fair enough of course - but I would say just one thing. If nationality is of no importance at all, why do the players have their nationality in symbols next to their name at all times?
