Easy win for Murray in the final, he beat Raonic already at Queens.

 

There's a lot to be said for almost getting massacred at primary school age it would seem. Character building.

[RAZOR]

LOL! Bottle is something Murray certainly does not lack! In fact quite the opposite - he's famous for getting himself out of some jams! Would love to see his five-set record - it will be impressive!

 

 

 

You look like a gormless twat to be fair... nowhere near as handsome as I am!

Post a picture of yourself?

 

You can't slam someone then chicken out.

 

You have until tomorrow morning.

That's very true. Biggest mistake I made at a young age was continually playing the same bunch of mates when I was easily the best player. That's not an idle boast, just pointing out my stupidity as I learned nothing while they learned and improved from playing me. By the time I moved on from doing that it was too late.

 

Big pressure on Murray on Sunday. Raonic will be a threat if he serves consistently well. If not it could be done in three. Just hope Murray's head is in the right place.

[minijc]

Efficient performance from Murray today, his returning throughout the tournament has been exceptional and if he keeps that up he'll be able to contend with Raonics serves.

[Sonoftherock]

Best serve in the game versus the best return in the game.

 

The two best players of the tournament by a considerable distance.

 

Raonic's first grand slam final and Murray's first as the favourite.

 

If their match up at Queens is anything to go by, this could be a five-setter. Expect Raonic to start strongly and get as much on the board as he can before Murray gets a feel for his serve.

Oh ffs!!

[rumpus]

Scotland's finest against a pubescent schoolboy from Chicago or somewhere.

 

Complete mismatch. Am looking forward to Andy getting his knighthood once he wins again.

 

On a side note...why is Tim Henman a commentator?

 

He gets to sit shoulder to shoulder with some of the greats of the game e.g. McEnroe, Hewitt, and passes his opinion on what Andy does and could have done better, yet he has done the square root of nothing in the game apart from name a small grassy hillock after himself.

[The Cockney Don]

Fancy Kerber to push Serena all the way today in the Ladies Final.

(Total sets 3 or Kerber +1.5).

The GWT Effect...whereby the lucky individual is given a cracking zero responsibility position simply by failing horrifically at their real job.

Can't get em all right.

 

 

SERENA WINS 7 - 5 / 6 - 3.

Don't think that's quite what @@tup was on about

 

[The Cockney Don]

Well done to Gordon Reid who just won the Mens Wheelchair Singles Title to add to the Doubles.

 

 

COME ON MURRAY NOW !

[The Cockney Don]

Murray wins the first set 6 - 4.

[RAZOR]

Good match thus far.

[minijc]

Murrays returning has been nothing short of magnificent, his serving has also been superb throughout the opening two sets of the match.

[The Cockney Don]

Second set Murray 7 - 6.

[elephantstone78]

Amazing reactions to return a serve at over 140mph. Bet he is excellent at splat a mole.

Don't like raonic. Big servers are incredibly dull to watch. Isner v raonic would put insomniacs to sleep.

[The Cockney Don]

MURRAY WINS MURRAY WINS ! ! !

[The Cockney Don]

I think he's going to get that trophy back this year.

Maybe I should take over from SOTR as the resident tennis expert.

I take it all back. Love you minijc.

Well done Andy. Raonic will have his day though, just not this one.

[tiktak]

Andy was superlative today. On that form he'd have beaten anyone. Hope he goes on a roll and bags another couple.

As @@elephantstone78 mentioned, I think that match was summed up by Raonic's tournament record 236 km/h serve (the second fastest in tournament history). Murray returned it... and won the point with a backhand pass. Murray is too good for Raonic at the moment and that was a fairly dominant final and a very dominant tournament. I'm not a big fan of watching Raonic either. However, once Murray, Djokovic and Federer retire I do think he'll win a few Wimbledons - which is a slightly depressing thought, but there aren't many who can deal with his overwhelming power... and sadly there isn't much talent coming through.

 

On the plus side, it's great enjoying moments like these. It's awesome watching such brilliance from a Scottish sportsman on the world stage - just a world class competitor. I think he's the greatest Scottish sportsman of all-time. At 29, he's got maybe two years left at his peak??? Hopefully! I'm just going to enjoy what little time we've got left watching this absolute genius at work! I'd love it if he could win in Melbourne though...

Yeah spot on mate, Murray was magnificent throughout the tournament and a thoroughly deserved winner. Would be great if he won the Aussie especially seeing the amount of times he's been in the final too

[Singapore Steve]

What was his issue with his box during the match ? Looked like he was pissed off with them for something, seemed to say something in his speech at the end also but could not really tel what his point was.

[Singapore Steve]

 

Think it was in reference to the fact Kims stopped letting him duff her up the asshole since she gave birth to their beautiful daughter.

 

Andy was basically saying......times up bitch.

 

Dont worry Andy, all us Dad's know exactly what your going through. They dont tell you this in The Parent Handbook.
