Whats this train patter Fudge? By the way Big Mikey actualy went out with the girl with one arm for two weeks, she was apparently quite tidy and Mikey said when he was drillin her he couldn't take his eyes off her wee stump flapping away.

Aye, it will do.

He more than matched him in the 3rd set which probably took up over half the match, so in essence you are saying you ignored half the match? Roddick was bawling his eyes out after he beat Murray in the semis at Wimbledon last year. Federer did the same after losing to Nadal in Melbourne exactly a year ago. You're out of your depth.

What the f**k would you know about it like? He's just missed a chance to win a Grand Slam title by basically having his arse handed to him by the best player of all time, I doubt the first thing he wanted to do was make a speech in front of all those folk. It was an emotional moment for him. As for the actual match, basically everyone with half a brain now knows 1. that Murray isn't aggresive enough when it truly matters but is getting a lot better and 2. that the guy will definitely lift one of these sooner rather than later. He's simply too talented not to. I doubt severely that he enjoyed that today and won't want to face it again.

What yees think for Sunday then lads?

A la Roddick at Wimbledon. The results are there for all to see. You can't win Slams hitting slices from 6 feet behind the baseline. I think Muzza realises that now.

Game oor likes.

I'm in for next week, I actually forgot Fudge drove last week so if either he or Telfer aredriving through I can play.

He must carry this approach into the Cilic match if he goes through. Start taking more risks like everyone has been telling him to for a couple of years now. It's why he lost to Verdasco, Roddick and of course Cilic in his last 3 slams. I've got to say though I think the lack of hype surrounding him this winter has also helped matters.

To be honest if Murray doesn't win this then this could be the very definition of 'choking' - Nadal is very much there for the taking. To me it seems Murray is having to take a lot more risks than usual which he doesn't usually like to do but it's paying dividends in this match. If he could do that against all the big hitters he could ask them a lot more questions instead of the old pat a cake routine and wait for a mistake.

You WERE talking shite to get a reaction again though, weren't you.

'Bottle it'? He's playing one of the best players ever, losing would be absolutely no disgrace.

Any ideas when the Nadal match will be?

Was Dent the guy he absolutely reamed at the US Open? Surely he will have too much for Isner if he is just a big server and nothing else?

As usual, if Telf fancies it.

I think even Hendry has said he's the best at one time or another. His temperament is the only reason he hasn't won more world titles.

Don't bother, no one is even half interested.

Maybe with little or no hype surrounding Murray at the Oz Open this year he might just go the distance. You never know. I could see him beating Rafa if he meets him, he's a shadow of his former self.

Boss, safe, ace, etc

I've struggled to get back into the groove after a good month with no football, still it will be good to get an extra game under my belt tonight. What time are we playing?

Yep, either is fine!

See they've got them coming out to music now, good news! Wonder what the Rocket will come out to.

If Telfer wants to, aye

No bother Filt(h)

It all makes sense now.
