He should be proud! No matter what happens in the final, he worked his ass off getting this far. So proud of him!

Both Roger and Andy are stand out champions in my book, it's going to be a thrilling match.

 

[Skeeter]

Is it wrong that I hope they bomb out of the doubles 6-0 6-0 to give Andy the best chance possible in the singles?

No reason why he can't go win both, but I guess it is unlikely

I thought Murray was already out of the doubles.

Still in in the mixed doubles

If he gets to the final that's 3 matches between now and the men's single final. It's going to make it really hard for him.

 

[Aesir]

Might be best if he focused on the singles as it's far more important after the Wimbledon final, might be a second chance for him.

I wonder if they'll be allowed to play the doubles into next week? Three of the teams in the quarters have someone playing in the singles at the moment (Del Potro, Murray, Azarenka), so there's a real fixture pile-up at the moment.

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah it seems like a bit of a condensed timetable. If it rains or some matches run long they might have to run into next week anyway.

Murray and Robson about to go into 3rd set Tie break. First to 10

 

[Tute]

I can't see how being in the doubles would do Murray any harm - surely he would be doing some practice anyway? This is just like that but with a competitive edge.

Agreed.
Not looking good in the tie break. Down 2 mini breaks

 

[mp3duck]

Good hold on both Robson's serves there. Need to try and win a mini-break back now

 

[mp3duck]

Back with serve now, on Murray's serve (I was wrong, only 1 mini break down)

 

[Craig1981]

This is looking like it might be Australia's game.

 

[mp3duck]

First point go Aussies, Murray's win second. Back to one mini break down now.

 

[mp3duck]

Close battle. Back with serve. 7-8, Robson to serve.

 

[Tute]

Crucial point now at 8-8.

9 - 8 to GB!!!
