It could be the injured hip has finally stopped him.

Did seem to be limping late game. Odd how it would be so close then suddenly 1-6 1-6

 

[snips86x]

He's been limping through the whole match

 

[DrToffnar]

Fair play to Querrey.

Can't imagine anyone thinks less of Murray after that. Still an EXCEPTIONAL player.

COME ON MULLER!!!

 

[Craig1981]

Not the result I was expecting. Poor Murray

 

[robfosters]

Murray couldn't do nothing with that injury. Hip injuries are career killers. He's already 30, I don't think I can see him getting over it enough to return to his previous levels tbh. Shame.

 

[Marsman]

LOL at the Murray camp who say he always walks like that. Who the hell do they think they're kidding.

 

[marc2003]

Can't believe Murray and Nadal are out. Really don't want Roger to win so I guess it's all down to Novak and his dodgy shoulder now.

Novak is a beast of a player, money would be with him!

Even if his injuries have reached a point where he needs to retire from the game, he's got a lot to be proud of. Two Olympic gold medals. Two Wimbledon titles.

Agreed, he's a fantastic example of a British tennis player. He'll go down in history as an all time great player either way.

I'm not so sure you know... Never count Federer out. He's had a great year and a superb tournament. Not to take anything away from Djockstrap of course, but my money is quite literally on a Federer - Cillic final, despite wanting Muller to pull this game back

 

[Merlin5]

I would like Federer to win only to create more history, to be the first player of all time to win Wimbledon 8 times.

However, if Muller wins his current match against Cilic, I think he could be the dark horse to win the championship.

Totally agree with both points. Even when he's up against it like this, Muller looks fantastic.

 

[DrToffnar]

GET IN MULLER YOU BEAUTY!!!

 

[Craig1981]

Does anyone think Querrey has a chance of winning?

 

[DrToffnar]

Does anyone think Querrey has a chance of winning?

I don't think so. He's a good player and all, but I think his win today was more because of Murrays issues then his skill.

Who knows, could give him a big boost of confidence that could carry him.

Very much so. While not the same level Nadal, Djokovic and Federer reached, for a British male tennis player to achieve what Murray has, is quite something really. After 70 years of nothing, it looked like it would never happen.

 

[DrToffnar]

Muller wins the 4th set. This just got VERY interesting. COME ON MULLER!!!

Just look at the British number 2, Kyle Edmund to realise how blessed we have been with Murray. When Andy retires, I shall stick to perving at the women.
