Won in the nick of time tonight. He' got a habit of winning an epic match then collapsing in the next one.
With a day off now, if he wins his next match then my tip is he'll get his first grand slam.

Never seen anything like that before, good job Baghdatis totally collapsed!
Where has the time gone...?
Yay, the 'British' player won, yay...

He'll just be Scottish soon

Well done to Murray though considering he actually did suffer a couple of knocks and common sense used by the organisers to let play go over the 11PM time limited.
Cilic had a long match too both will need their day off!
(Bet they won't be moaning though like some football managers/players would be!)
Yes. Only Djokovic to get past.

Murray is a good player to follow. I want him to win when he plays his matches, but when he loses, I don't give a ****. It's a win-win situation.
Total football is played in yellow
I covered myself. Put 5 Euro on Tsonga at 12-1. Likely he and Murray will meet in the Semi.
Murray wins.

Can't wait to see Federer tear the tw*t apart in the final.

Why the hatred?
Well done Andy. Unlike the England football team he does have ability.
Some thanks also to Lukas Rosol. Time to beat the smug Federer.
'I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion...'
The man is one of the most dislikeable, rude, miserable, moaning, over hyped sportsman in history. Even in his interview now having got into the Wimbledon final he's just coming across as nothing but miserable and rude, as usual.
I also despise the way the English public treat him as if he's one of our own, he's not, he's Scottish. We wouldn't root for a Scotsman in any other sport and I find it incredibly cringey the way the public rim Andy Murray purely because we haven't got any good English players of our own any more.

"Smug" Federer? Wow. That is laughable.

I'll admit he sounds miserable most of the time, but that doesn't make him a tw*t. He's not overhyped, he's miles ahead of Tim Henman (who had more hype) and a top four player! The most overhyped is that Tom Daly! He's on everything!
I would. I do. I see myself as British, sure when it comes to football and cricket then I follow England. My favourite F1 driver is Paul Di Resta and my favourite IndyCar driver (now) is Dario Franchitti, both Scottish. In the Olympics I will support English, Welsh, Scottish and N.I. athletes equally.
The Olympics is a team sport, Wimbledon tennis is not, it's all about the individual. So why would I possibly root for someone who is not only incredibly dislikeable, but is also from Scotland, not England? Maybe if the man was even in the tiniest bit likeable then I'd support him regardless of whether he's Scottish or not, but he isn't.
And yes, he is over hyped. Every year he's built up to be this top, top player who will definitely win his first slam and every year he fails, the same way Henman did. He's now 25, at 25 just in this era Federer, Nadal and Djokovic had/have all won multiple grand slam titles, and even the likes of Del Potro already has one, and he's younger than Murray.
I expect and hope Federer will pick him apart in the final.

Its been really gutting to see him lose in so many Wimbledon semi-finals,but now he can put all that right by going one further and choking when it really matters.
ANYONE BUT MURRAY!!
THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT.THE FUTURE'S YELLOW.
Most Olympic sports are individual, just saying. I don't understand the reference to him being Scottish all the time? You say because its not a team sport he doesn't represent Britain but himself - fair enough, so what does it matter if he's Scottish, Turkish, Latvian or Korean?? Why does that come into your decision?
He's not over hyped, he is a consistently top four player and IS the most talented British tennis player in a very long time. Maybe he will never win a major, it doesn't matter he's still one of the top players. Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have never won the Grand Slam, the Grand Slam is when you win all four majors in one calendar year :P But in terms of majors, thousands of other players haven't won one either yet are still good players.
For the record, I think Federer will win any way.
Good for him (least its some of the presusre off the guy now) but do think Federer will take the title.
I don't mind both so not fussed overall.
Guess a bit of sporting history will be created either way!
BTW Who will Sue Barker support - She's a keen fan of both!
Him being Scottish doesn't have any real baring on my opinion of him as a person or my dislike for him, I bring up his nationality because of the ridiculous way he is treated in this country as one of our own and as if he is in any way representing us, which he is not.
So, if he never wins a major, but continues to spend every single year of his career being touted as certain grand slam winner at some point the way he is, he won't have been over hyped? Yes, he's an excellent tennis player, but he is over hyped, at least at the moment, and if he continues to fail then in 20 years or so people will hardly even remember his existence.
