I thought you'd Pigeoned the Raonic serve immediately after as it was nearly broken.
What a performance by Mr Murray, about as well as I think I've ever seen him play. I'm sure we'll see Raonic back again, if he can reduce the unforced errors then he'll have a good chance at this or one of the other slams.

Did much better in the third set. Realised the bombs weren't working so slowed them down and went for placement. Still a lot to learn but good that he can adapt like that.
That would be Lewis Hamilton
Yep, Murray recovered it well though. I don't think he meant to incite that.

Nobody can take that title from Murray.
Sorry, did you say something? Couldn't hear you over you stinking up the thread.

2 x Wimbledon titles, 1 x US Open title, 1 x Olympics gold medal and 1 x Davis Cup. How good does that sound and how much better could his tally have been if he managed to sort his head out when facing Djokovic in finals?

No way, Lewis is too "swag" to be dull. Lewis is cringe, certainly not boring like this dullard though. Murray doesn't even seem to have passion that he just won the biggest tourney. Even his 'tears' looked forced
Aw, Fanboy upset?

It's kind of easy to forget now but I remember when I was a kid Jeremy Bates or Andrew Castle making it to the third round was like headline news we were that bad!! We've had 20 years of having mostly genuine championship contenders.
Sadly look beyond Andy and we're heading into the abyss again come his retirement I suspect.

It does sound great and no less than his talent and workrate deserve. As you say it's really just Djokovic that has stood in the way of him being on five or six slams already.

I think you're wrong, he has passion but when he shows it publicly he either gets slated for it or disbelieved as you just have. As a sportsman he has had more than his fair share of opprobrium come his way for some unguarded or light-hearted comments (c.f. joking to Tim Henman that he'd support anyone but England) so I think it's perfectly understandable he is much more careful about what he says to the media so it can't get twisted.
Lol yep, you're right. And then like Fred Perry, if we do find another british champion, everyone will be saying 'It's been 77 years since the last british man, Andy Murray, first lifted the trophy".
The media truly are toxic. Worse than the sludge in the sewers. No matter what a person does it is entrapment.
He was visibly crying wtf are you on about?? Not to mention his voice actually cracking in a couple of places

When Fed and Nadal have trouble against Novak, you cant really fault Andy
And while its all been one way recently, Andy did beat Novak in the US Final (and the semi of the Olympics) so its not like he hasn't done it before - but yes his record could be better in this regard
