    granted, i've only watched this set. But this other geezer comes across a bit of a bellend
    I mean... just look at those shorts and that earring.

    You have to worry after 4 break points there and losing, would take a lot out of him, could struggle the next game after so much effort it often swings the other way.

    Him and Kyrgios are best mates if that gives you any indication lol - I know Murray is good friends with them both though.
    Just realised is he the one who won doubles with Kyrgios? although on breaking point again he didn't seem too bad, they pulled each other through the doubles and could see they get each other. Just something about him that makes me dislike him and never seen him play (bar on netflix lol) 
  • Very professional game from Andy, this is the time to break!!

    He's an Aussie. 
    Their cricketers are even worse.

    This  is why it was always the Big Four, not the Big Three - Andy didnt win as many Grand Slams as Djokovic | Nadal | Federer, but he was probably the only one who could challenge them on a consistent basis.
    It was a shame he suffered that injury at the end of 2013/early 2014 (if I'm remembering my dates correctly). He'd been on their coat tails for a while but with his US Open, Olympics, and Wimbledon wins in 2012/2013 it felt like he'd finally got himself up to their level. Then the injury set him back a bit and he never quite got back there again consistently.

    That's one of the reasons I've always liked him though - he worked so hard and wrung every last drop out of his talent to get himself up to that level. Obviously the big three did that too, but always felt like Murray had to work that bit harder, still, and have even more personal drive and determination to do it.
  • Kokky has done really well this match regardless... But I do dislike the fast servers.

    Feels like its all they've got at times

    I've got a bloody work call in 8 minutes, really didn't think there was any danger of missing the end of this.
