Murray Beats Federer in Madrid

[SS2]

Fantastic match, what astonishing progress Andy has made this year. His serving was exemplary and he had three serves over his previous fastest serve of 138mph, include one at 141mph.

Well done Andy.
And he HASN'T got Nadal in the final. At last Britain has a tennis player.

I am shocked and delighted. Really pleased for him! I didn't expect it after the US.

 

[brendy]

All he needs now is a personality, he is the kimi raikonnen of tennis.

As much as I don't like him (not just because he's scottish), fantastic, well done Andy.

By the way, I think we had a tennis player before, Henman, he wasn't as bad as many people make out.

 

[brendy]

I agree, Henman was good, its just there was a half dozen or more which were\are better.

Agreed Murph. Tim was good but I think Andy Murray will probably achieve more.

 

[madandra]

I think if Henman had bulked up a bit and got power he would have acheived a lot more. His problem was his first serve always came back to him. Look at how Murray has beefed up and is now smashing the ball. I don't know who has or had more matural ability but AM is going all out to be a winner.

 

[SS2]

In the end an easy win in the final for Murray against a decent (but knackered) opponent.

As for Henman, Madandra and his lovely bobble hat (!) are both correct: he just needed (a) some bulk and (b) a general streak of self-belief.
