Yeah, credit to the other guy though. Cheering Murray scoring is fair enough, bit I do think cheering when Wawrinka would make a fault was a bit unsporting though.

I just can't believe that match... At the beginning of the 5th set I didn't really care who won as it was the best match I've ever seen!!!

Well done Murray

and a big cheer for Wawrinka for such amazing play

Anyone else think that having the roof closed really upset Murray's service game??

Must be hard to play in that enviroment.

That's the Wimbledon crowd for you. It's always like that when a Brit plays.

Good match though

It shouldn't have done, if anything it should have helped it because there would have been no wind. He needs to improve his serve if wants to go all the way, his serving was really bad tonight.

Brilliant match though, great fighting spirit from Murray.

Well he's had a right moan about the roof and the fact that he hadn;t played on indoor grass conditions before

what a plum

He should have kept that QT till after the tournament as he has exposed a weakness that any opponent he faces in these conditions could capitalize on

"It slowed it down a lot and I struggled to serve because it wasn't coming off the strings that quickly. There were a lot more rallies and I got a lot less free points off my serve when it did go in.
"You can really swing very hard at the ball and it can go in the net or doesn't really go anywhere."

Looking athis comment it made all the diffreance.

Well the other guy may not have had lots of experience either. Not to mention (as I have done may times) the other guy also had the crowd against him. He is not going to have everything going his way.

matt-h · 30-06-2009, 12:01

Just seems to be whining again. The other 3 people that played with the roof shut havent complained at all have they..

There's always a convinient excuse up his sleeve. This why I don't generally support him, even Scots have come in the shop this morning and said they can't stand him.

Excuse? For what? He won!

lauzjp · 30-06-2009, 12:46

When he loses I mean. Presently - Whinging. He'll be all tired now, and won't win the next match - probably be a walk-over.

Bring back Henman. It was a lot less stressful watching him

Didn't seem to affect the other guys serve too much. We need to remember it's going to be the same for both players not matter what the conditions are. I support the guy but it's a poor excuse for serving badly imo.

Nice crystal ball you have there....
