Nadal is one of the best returners in the game lol
|
|
By:
lol wtf
of course it needs to improve not like rafa didn't break murray or fail to convert loads of break points you see someone like federer letting him off the hook? needs to get that 1st serve in the 60s |

hardly desserted lol even said i'd quit tennis forum if he lost ............................................. canaryboy 13 Sep if mug potro wins the us open 09 i'll quit the forum I think they'd miss you ;) |
|
By:
murray was always gonna break rafa loads cos he has no serve
federer won't be vulnerable like that so murray needs to be more clinical in his service games cos he won't be breaking for fun |
|
By:
yeah i got one shout wrong jpj
which i think is damn bloody good given all the others i got right lol but nobody bumps those! |
|
By:
and obviously i wouldn't quit lol
it just emphasises a strong bet which i have a decent record on |
|
By:
I know mate :)
You know what forums are like, you can have a hundred winners, but it's always the losing thread that gets bumped. I've noticed your change in support recently. Seems like you have realised whet Federer is all about....Or is this a masterplan to jinx him? ;) |
|
By:
lol i still support him, just not as confident he can win some of the big matches
|
|
By:
You've been saying that for 2 years, you're bound to be right eventually :^)
Even though he's 'declined' about 20% over the last 4 years he's still 20% better than everyone else. :) |
|
By:
if murray can serve well and be aggressive, then he can beat fed
sadly he served like an absolute mug in the us open final but he was tired and inexperienced which won't be the case should he get past cilic |
|
By:
He played like a mug in the US Open, and he has plenty of those performances in his locker. :^0
|
|
By:
nah not that many tbh
just some of the massive matches he lets himself down nerves get to him i think |
|
By:
rafa didnt break him because murray was outplaying him from the back of the court, and when it came down to it his serving was clutch in tight situations
wasnt his serve 66% in 2nd set? he can beat fed playing like he did today im sure he would love to improve but if he gets to the final vs fed and plays that, well he can really ask for no more. that was as good as nadal has played since coming back from injury against top 10 oppo, and he was well beaten before pulling up |
|
By:
rafa broke him in the first 2 sets tho
that was my point yeah he needs the 2nd set serving form vs fed rafa played better than he has done yeah but you're also looking at his worst surface here |
|
By:
it's just that everyone has beaten rafa since the summer so i can't go ott about murray beating him
|
|
By:
his worst surface that he won on last year, surely his worst surface is indoors?
both played really good, that's the only thing that matters |
|
By:
yeah they did
ps indoors isn't a surface :p |
|
By:
"just some of the massive matches he lets himself down"
could that be classed as choking mike? ;) not gonna start that argument again as I was impressed with his game today and he didnt let his head drop today after rafa kept coming back at him. he plays like that v fed (assuming he doesnt blow it v cilic) and he will push him a lot closer than the us final |
|
By:
not quite choking as that's just throwing away a lead and not underperforming
would be great if he could play a final classic with fed |
|
By:
My lucky money is on Murray.
|
|
By:
Murray playing better; hopefully will pull ahead now.
|
|
By:
hope so soap
|
|
By:
very impressive after bening asleep and holding his back for the first set and a half.
nice to see him show a bit of fight- lets hope he can do same v fed in final |
|
By:
after being asleep*
|
|
By:
the reverse jinx is working good
|
|
By:
hes looked a different man mike. could be the best british player in a long long time.
if he loses final ofc by choking then he will just be a moaning scottish barsteward ;) if he plays well in final and gets beat by the better man then will say fair play to him. i just really hope he brings his game and doesnt freeze. |
|
By:
he was awful in the 1st set today
way too passive got to be aggressive from the off vs fed and serve like he did from sets 2 to 4 was a decent percentage there |
|
By:
Why are people still posting on this thread. The result is already known, see the evidence below
Dooberama 26 Jan 21:50 My lucky money is on Murray. |

By:
Go Muzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa

|
By:
LOL at Ariston's back-tracking.
|
|
By:
I hope Murray comes out for the final in special gear. Some kind of combination scheme blending colours of USA, Slovenia and Algeria. That would really give the whinging English something to squeal about.
|
|
By:
Hope he has 235 match points and loses 38-36 in fifth set
|
|
By:
and you are?
|
|
By:
Think he must be English Mike, lol
|
|
By:
Up until a few months ago, he probably lived nearer me than 99.999% of the people who get a chip about the scotland/england thing. So I assume it is OK for me to cheer him too?
|
|
By:
Good luck to him in the final. Played superbly all tournament and would be nice to see him win.
Yes, I was going to back him at 8s and didn't, stupid me :( |
|
By:
Sorry canaryboy didn't know you had to be invited to post an opinion on a public forum.
I can't stand whinging Jocks who support "anyone but England" HTH |
|
By:

|
By:
