Wimbledon

[=XDC=FluphyBunny]

So impressed with Murrays mental toughness, just shows how massively his game has come on.

Did not feel like a 3 set to 0 win !

Just incredible win against one of the best tennis players the game has seen.

No idea what the hate is about nationality.

First GB winner since 1936
First Scottish winner EVER.

To say its not important is just as wrong as saying its all that matters.... Tim Henman was English and touted as such many a time. Nothing wrong with that but all the "its a GB victory" isj just playing into the argument of:

If Murray wins, he is British
If Murray loses, he is Scottish

This has been the case on many occasions.

Is it a GB win? Yeah, but its also a win for Scotland and to ignore this makes you just as blinkered as you say the other people you are arguing against are.

Did merlin do a prediction? Well done Murray. Dead chuffed for him

 

[majestyk]

First saw Murray Wimbledon 2005 v Nalbandian. Knew we had finally found a player.

Magnificent tournament and result for him and his team.

Haters gonna hate. But today they have to eat crow.

Yeah, he said Murray would lose

 

[FrankJH]

It's a victory for Andy Murray...nothing more, its an individual professional sport..not a team sport.

You couldn't be more wrong.

I'm a huge Murray supporter but Lendl has given AM the last 5-10% that was very important in the US last season and here at Wimbledon (given the added home pressure)

Andy deserves it 110% , but there is a lot more than just what happens on court

 

[Marky]

Really great game - Two Tennis players at the top of their game Murray deserved the win

It seemed to really bug Locky. Since he expelled his hate. Showed real maturity. Seemed to kick off from there.

Lol at Salmond waving the Scottish flag behind Cameron's head!

God I hate that slime ball behind Cameron.

Way to take what was said out of context and run with it!!!!!

Who cares? One of the reasons I love tennis is that nationality and loyalty isn't really a factor. You get to watch two of the best athletes in the world competing without feeling obliged to support one of them, which means that you can truly appreciate the actual sporting prowess on display.

I'm overjoyed that Murray won. Not because he was born closer to me than Djokovic, but because I was at the game in 2005 against Nalbandian when he was a scrawny 18 year old, and appreciate the immense work he has put in to get to where he is now. It's an incredible achievement and I'm over the moon for him.

Apparently on 5 live commentary guy interviewing Portugese man in crowd after murray win asked "how do you feel for the English?"

Damn! Was that when that was? I could have sworn it was 2007.

Hmm, you might be right...I thought/think that it was when I was on my gap year, which was 2005. May be wrong though!

Edit: Yup, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/4619129.stm

He's just a miserable git. Every post he makes is hateful, negative, miserable or a mix of the 3.

 

[Camalot]

No way will Murray beat Novak now.

Lol

 

[spankingtexan]

Andy Murray wins at Wimbledon

It's been a long time coming, well done Andy, i'll be having a celebratory drink tonight, the Brits are back, now where's my Fred Perry T-shirt.

That was a brutal game as well. Lack of stamina killed him. That was another hot summer I remember so well. I cannot get over that was 2005.

 

[jrodga2k5]

Lol

A lot of lol worthy comments in this thread today

Sadly it's about 4 weeks now until the next Masters tournament...7 weeks until the US Open as well

 

[StriderX]

I wonder what could possibly occur in this thread...hmm
