Some of the points won in the last set was ridiculous.

Tough game for Murray, Janowicz has got a hell of a serve.

He's one of the top few people in the World at what he does. He deserves wealth.

I actually think he comes across as a really decent lad as well to be honest and no doubt about it he is a fantastic tennis player.

Hope he wins on Sunday.

Qs much as I dislike Wimbledon fortnight I have huge sympathy for Murray. He can't help being Scottish; which comes with loads of baggage when you're meqnt to be a Brit as well. Whatever he does is subject to far too much scrutiny, just like Henman.

I know a gadgie who runs a toyhop in Murray's home town and said he couldn't be more accomodating to his family etc. He did a 'walkabout' signing thing for several hours last year which I can't imagine many of today's 'top' England stars doing.

Spare a thought for us here in sunny France. The next week the whole world is going to revolve around Miss Bartoli. It's already bad enough when someone wins an underwater backward cycling race.

Lee Westwood is the same. He gets vanloads of top gear from his sponsors and gives a lot of it away to local golf tournaments as prizes, and the shirts, hats, wristbands and all that he takes to schools, gives them a little talk about believing in yourself and hands it all out. Top gadgie.

You can't grow a set. Unless it's summat in the garden. We aren't jelliform creatures that can sprout stuff. Unless it's a carcinoma.

Well done to the lad, he bossed much of the game against the best in the world.

Mind I could have been sick when the BBC suit insisted he went and climbed into the box and hug his family. The whole coverage has been shite, point lost, cue nervous girlfriend. Set lost, cue grimacing trainer etc etc etc... :evil:

And I could argue that all fish belong in space, but it would be an argument I would lose. Did you even watch the match? Murray was outstanding. He would have beaten any player from any era with that performance today. Didn't let Novak settle for a minute. Forced him to go for the ridiculous time and time again.

In short, the guy was quality. Well done.

I can't believe this. Two hours down the line and no one has mentioned BBC Sports Personality of the Year yet.

Ah damn!

I know you've lived away for a few years but that just isn't the done thing any more. Talk about being out of touch!

Everyone knows Lidl lager is cheaper.

How many more sets did djokovic play than Murray like? I'd guess at a few if not less. Murray looked more tired than Novak imo and if he didnt win the third I think Novak would have won the title. He was out on his feet, he had no right to reach some of the balls he did today.

Utter dominance by Murray, to suggest it was because Novak wasn't fit is incredible.

not being negative--Murray played very well and was a deserved winner--but to say he would have beaten anyone is not correct in my opinion.

Murray is the greatest British player since the war--BUT not in the class of all time greats Nadal or Fedderer at their peak, Nadal fully fit would have torn him a new arsehole as he did the last couple of years they met at Wimbledon.

That's horseshit, Murray, since losing to federer last year is a completely different player. He would have beaten anything put in front of him today, he wanted it more and the disappointment of last year made him mentally stronger hence the 2majors to his name now.

Murray has done excellently, his majors though have coincided with fedderer aging and nadal being injured
None of that is Murray's fault he is an excellent player just not in the class of the other 2 , as the major count will show

Nadal at his peak dismantles Murray

You aware that bloke he beat in straight sets is currently the best Tennis player in the World?

Players don't stay at their peak though do they? When Federer and Nadal were at their very best Murray was still working his way up. You can repeat yourself endlessly but the fact that he just beat a well established world number one who had had an excellent tournament is all that matters.

Can't see your beloved Nadal ever being as good again- his extremely ripped physique, that was reminiscent of sprinters who fail drug tests, seemed to change when he missed lots of tournaments because of a not serious but endlessly recurring knee injury.

I'm a bit worried about doubledeckers obsession with Nadal inflicting rectal injuries on Mr Murray. Seems like a recurring and problematic sexual fantasy to me.

Oh and by the way, the best player ALWAYS wins, the rest is just gossip.

And now that daft event is over the vast majority of the people attending can go back too heir usual pastimes, of standing outside Buckingham palace waiving their daft union jack flags for the queen.

Well done to the bloke for winning it. I didn't see any of it but would assume that if he won it was cos he was better than the other bloke.

What I find sadder than all of the Murray bashing on this thread though is that so many of you seemed to be sat watching the telly on the hottest day of the year so far rather than being out and about in the nice weather. I think it just goes to show what a lazy bunch of bastads this country is currently producing who would rather watch somebody exercise than get off their own arses and do stuff themselves.
