Come On Andy Murray

GBR women's tennis is absolute tosh. If it weren't for Murray alone, the men's would be in the same boat. I'm glad for him he collected gold, though question Federers commitment to the game.
 
I am totally astonished that my 'England instead of Britain' count still stands at three.
And to be really fair they were in the Football [no surprise there] before the opening ceremony.

Well done the BBC.
Those long days in locked rooms with the waterboarding experts obviously worked.

Aye, Federer just could not be @rsed to win a gold medal, he has been like that all of his useless career.

The Claire Balding programme about the history of female participation in the Olympics highlighted the world wars as catalyst for social change as women in England took up many of the jobs relinquished by men going into the army.

This wasn't a live gaffe - it was a prerecorded programme that presumably had a script and an editor. They still think England and Britain are the same thing; pretty depressing.
 
Some of them just live in their own wee bubble, thankfully for this event they are very much in a minority.
Good show all round by everyone.
I can even now forgive Ken Dodd [AKA Paul McCartney] for singing out of tune.
 
I am not a Murray fan but my cold shoulder cooled a little yesterday after seeing him wrap a Union Jack around himself and mumble God Save The Queen in the medal ceremony. His interview, whilst as devoid as ever of any charisma, did him great credit, especially with his mention of the inspiration that Mo F gave him. He certainly went up a lot in my estimation yesterday.

I now don't mind if he does well.

To be fair to him with his interview after he won gold, he was trying to keep himself calm and in the right frame of mind as he had another gold medal to play for in less than an hour.

A fair point, well made.
 
You could tell Federer was not bothered about winning the Olympics, by his reaction when he won his semi-final 19-17 in the third set.:whistle:

Well played Murray, hopefully a spring board to winning the US Open.

Spot on!

Murray has found a new level now confidence wise IMO and i strongly believe he will win one of the next two slams. For all the excitement at Wimbledon time his best chances are the US/Aussie Opens.

Yes they had, that is why LR was selected ahead of Heather Watson whose doubles ranking is actually better.

AM & LR won the Hopman Cup together in Australia in 2010.

But yeah, Dodger went fishing and caught a big un :whistle:

Quite right - I'll just go and shoot my informant if I could just get this barb out of my top lip...
 
Is it just me or is the current US Open one of the most exciting tennis comps ever? Murray's desire to win has been really impressive,and his matches against Tomas Berdych and Feliciano López were inspirational! Go on my son,do us ALL proud!

Got to be the worst venue for any major sport event anywhere in the world! But yes, this year seen some really good matches... Every match involving Andy seems to provide some drama though... Laura did really well early on... Best match, so far for me, was the ladies semi between Azarenka and Sharapova...

I do enjoy watching Sharapova,her tennis is not too shabby either! ;-)
 
I've got a good feeling about this. Murray can get the monkey off his back at this US Open.
 
Seems to be a bit more focused mentally, can't see him beating Jokavic though, he's playing some unreal tennis so far today.

I'll get the humble pie ready just in case :-)
