rjw63 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Federer is probably the greatest player on the planet ever. On his day, unplayable He is pretty **** awesome isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sad for Murray but happy Federer moves to 17 that will make it nigh on impossible for Nadal to overtake him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I remember when he first won Wimbledon, Basel where he grew up gave him a cow as a gift. They surely still can't do that now?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Superbly played by Federer. It's a pity for Murray but, as Becker said, no shame to lose to Federer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2012 Superb from both. Federer is just relentless. After the first set where he clearly wasn't at his best he just turned the screw. Must be so tiring and disheartening to play him when he's like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be so tiring and disheartening to play him when he's like that. Yeah the Nadal semi was similar last year. Murray played a great first set then played a lose game in the second and all the momentum was lost and transferred. That's what the top 3 can do for you.

theunderstudy Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Great game by Federer. Murray's serve was just too poor at times, and lots of unforced errors. Still, when Federer plays that well you need to to. And English people can laugh at Murray all they want, Murray is the only thing preventing British tennis from being shown up as the abject atrocity it is.

Chindie Posted July 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2012 A good effort by Murray, who does seem to slowly be getting better, unfortunately theres still a yawning chasm between him and Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. I listened to most of the match on the radio but saw a fair bit of the first set on the TV, where I was struck by just how often Murray hit the net on serve. Every other serve was hitting the net and it seemed to be taking it out of him. Anywho - I've never really taken to Murray, I support him as he's a Brit representative but he never struck me as a particularly likeable chap. His choked up speech after the match has warmed me to him finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 8, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah the emotion was surprising and heart wrenching to be honest. Nice to see that from someone with a reputation of being so unemotional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Someone told me today that Murray was a Dunblane survivor. Is this true? If it is, then I swear never to criticise the lad for not smiling much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
