Trandy said he was going!

 

[super_bees]

Federer through, does Murray stand a chance at winning this?

 

[SQUELCH]

anyone seen the footage?

does Murray stand a chance at winning this?

Unless Federer gets injured no-one else stands a chance.

Handbags.

I will refrain from posting my opinions about serbians and croatians.

A long way to go but he made absolute mincemeat out of Alberto Martin today, who is not a bad player, ranked 60. 6-0, 6-0, 6-1

He was fanntastic apparently.

Murray now through to 3rd round

 

[Nada Bee]

Murray doing very well!!! Come on Andy!!

p.s. he might be scottish, but i support the home nations...

 

[TW3Bee]

Murray 2 sets to 1 up against Nadel.

7-6, 4-6, 6-4

He led 4-1 in the 2nd set at one point.

 

[Simon C]

He's playing very well, should have won already though

 

[TW3Bee]

He's just pissed away another 4 break points.

Agree with you he is playing unbelievably well.

 

[JBN]

Regardless of the outcome, I can't wait for the after match interview with Murray.

I have been suffering with insomnia and his interviews are a great cure

 

[Claire]

Murray just needs to break Nadel, and he will bee on the home straight.

Yep.

You feel like you want to smack the side of the telly to wake him up.

Don't expect much, its 1am local time

 

[Claire]

well looks like it might go to 5 sets.

 

[SC]

5-0 Nadal in the 5th - looks like it's all over

 

[Simon C]

He cracked, pretty stunning match though

 

[JBN]

:zzzzz: Andy :zzzzz: Murray :zzzzz: Interview :zzzzz: awaited :zzzzz: I have :zzzzz: my :zzzzz: pillow :zzzzz: ready :zzzzz:

 

[West Ealing Bee]

In one way I guess he threw it away but this match gives an indication of just how good he is.

He is s top 10 player minimum, is capable of playing on all services and to compete with Nadal, who would have been number one in many eras, is a great effort.

Quite gracious for you. Was expecting worse!

[super_bees]

Murray deserves credit for how he's played.

 

[nocoat]

:bound: Laters you jock cock :thumbs: One Rafa Nadal, there is only one Rafa Nadal

 

[Jimbee]

Won a stack on betfair, thanks to his swinging fortunes.

A great sport to gamble on.

Is that a Bees fan I see in the middle of it.

 

[Bee H]

I'm not sure but ..........

Is that a Bees fan I see in the middle of it.

From memory, I think you might find that Red Star Zagreb play in red and white stripes ? :shrug:

I am with you mate. He played well but I had my spanish shirt on..Cock.

 

[Claire]

its ashame he had trouble breaking.

 

[nocoat]

His leg?

I agree

Better luck next time :yes:

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Some sweaty that I know tells me that his wife worked with Murray's mum for many years and that they are the most conceited family you could ever meet. Then the good times came and the head up one's arse attitude got worse. Now I trust this guy and his attitude is pretty much spot on with things.

 

[WarrenBee]

Wind.

 

[super_bees]

Federer, Roddick, Haas, Gonzalez left. There's only gonna be one winner.

 

[Simon C]

Federer is destroying Roddick

 

[Edmundo]

You could have said that before it started! He's so far ahead of the field that everyone else must be hoping he gets injured.

 

[Edmundo]

Federer is destroying Roddick

All over 6-4 6-0 6-2 - including one sequence of eleven consecutive games won by Federer. Awesome.

Roddick looked a broken man by the end.

Unless Federer gets injured no-one else stands a chance.

I said it about a day in, does that count

 

[Edmundo]

Roddick looked a broken man by the end.

He was reduced to thanking a linesman for trying to help him with a dodgy call!

 

[super_bees]

They should find an excuse to ban Federer from Tennis.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

They should find an excuse to ban Federer from Tennis.

Why? :scratch:

For being too good :scratch:

His excellence will make everyone else strive to improve. I bet without Federer Nadal, Roddick and even Murray would not be as good as they are. The bar is so high you need to be better to get to the top.

Federer is improving the sport and IMHO is probably the best sportsman on the planet right now.

 

[Simon C]

He's overwhelming, better than anybody else but he's still great to watch, it's never boring as it can be when one person dominates a sport totally.

 

[ApolloBeachTone]

The way Gonzalez mullered Haas you could be fooled into thinking he at least might be competitive with Federer, but alas I think not.

Straight sets methinks. 7-6, 6-1, 6-4 best case !!

Haas saw Gonzalez had brought the same form from his match with Nadal and lay down, he was reduced to only playing to Gonzalez's backhand as he was so scared of his forehand.

Federer will win comfortably but I hope there's some kind of contest.
