Re: The Official Tennis Thread

This is a sad sad day :'(
Murray beats Federer FUCK LOGIC!!!!!

Federer seemed exhausted in fifth set. (apparently, first time he had 2 consecutive 5 setters)
Murray played better though.
Fed against top players, he usually makes a comeback e.g. 2008 Wimbledon against rafa (down first two sets, wins 2rd and 4th). But then just loses. fml.

I want to see andy roddick back for some reason.

nah baghdatis looks like he'll win it this year

I agree! I think he will be number 1 this year. He has some excellent serves and drop shots, and also the best forehand in the game. Like seriously, I don't see anyone else stealing number 1 from Novak. (srs)

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

Really hope Novak wins tomorrow night.. can't stand Murray
When I went to Melbourne and watched the final in 2011, Murray played badly and just embarrassed himself and his family.
I was sitting a few seats away from his mother, and when he kept on losing more and more points he would scream, shout and swear.
Yet when his Mother encouraged him and said its okay and that he still had a chance, he'd scream at her and yell at her disrespectfully saying stuff along the lines of "NO ITS F**KING NOT!"
I didn't dislike Murray then, but since that episode of watching his unsportsmanlike behaviour and rude manner, I dislike the man.
He's too much of a perfectionist in matches and if he loses a point based on error, he'll lose it.

Anyway, I hope it is 5 sets and a close one with Novak edging in front. Just to piss Murray off more.
Novak deserves it over Murray.

well azarenka is quite emotional.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

Apparently Federer yelled 'Fucking stop' to Murray across the court during yesterday's match, lol. If this is true, he must have been pissed as shit.

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

Some factors:
- Betting prices --> Murray was favourite to win
- Age --> Murray is younger and is at his peak age (and is full of confidence having won the USO12). Fed is 31.5 years old...
- Physical condition --> Murray had a 3 setters quarters.. Roger had a 5 setters quarters...
- H2H --> Murray actually leads the overall H2H by 1 (leads by 2 now...) --> Despite the fact that Roger hasn't lost to Murray in a slam prior to this match....

Gratz to Murray but gotta give Roger credit too....

Roger survived at the brink of defeat in the 4th set but physically in the 5th set... he was at like 50%.... At least he extended it to the 5th!

But sad day for a Roger fan like me

(Murray, you better beat Novak in the finals)

Betting price counts for fuck all on how well they play.

hope Djokovic wins, hate Murray he always looks so pissed of when he plays

Azarenka is a cheating bitch, hope she goes out on court with a chorus of boos and she then gets hammered

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

riddle me that.

because everyone says she cheated by taking those medical breaks because there was nothing wrong with her

Re: The Official Tennis Thread

riddle me that.

She was about to choke but decided to take a MTO on Stephen's serve to ruin Steph's momentum.

Li Na took MTOs in the final but at least they were legit... not ''psychological oh no im going to choke and lose this match'' MTOs.

Fuarkin Azarenka.

She also cried after WINNING the finals. How bad would Li Na, the runner-up, have felt? Li Na didn't shed a single tear during the ceremony and after the match. She was smiling afterwards.... and in her press conference interviews after the match...

Geezus if you win, just stfu. The runner-up is meant to cry.
