Obviously since when have you ever heard of an English tennis player playing well.

Steady now, lets not get too carried away

Federer was way off par but Federer could play with his eyes shut and with a sock and still beat 99% of the players on the tour so cant take anythin away from Murray.

Might be a good idea to put a bet on him winning Wimbledon 2010

I highly doubt that

Fantastic result even if Federer wasn't at his best.

M0KUJ1N · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:00

Well done Murray

/me awaits half of Berkshire adopting him as his own in time for next Wimbledon

McBain · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:04

They aready did, one of the very few bits of Wimbledon I saw this year was some fans calling 'Henman Hill' 'Murray Mound'

Oh dear.

M0KUJ1N · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:05

Wasnt it Murrayfield, after the "home of Scottish rugby" (and occasionally the Jambos)

McBain · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:16

Possibly, this was just 3 particular fans they were interviewing on the hill. Needless to say I switched it off shortly after.

Macca · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:27

Guys he's British, not Scottish. But there English when it's and English person :rolleyes:

I bet they said he was British

But great job by Murray, that's an incredible result.

Anders0n · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:31

Yeah great result for murray! Federer not at his best is still a formidable force.

Balb0wa · 16 Aug 2006 at 23:45

what fed has said.

Federer, who has been flawless on the American hardcourts for years, saw a run of 55-straight wins broken.

And he also missed out on equalling Ivan Lendl's record of reaching 18 consecutive finals.

"I would love that the streaks go on and on and on, but once in a while it's also good you lose," said Federer.

"I always draw a positive out of losses, you know, so we'll see what I got to do now the next few days.

"Murray played a good match. Youngsters play good on the day. If they play good for the week, that's the question."

Actually he's Scottish AND British, AND a citizen of the United Kingdom. I'll resist the urge to draw up a Venn diagram

However he ISNT English

(despite the middle-class pseudo-English accent)
