Great game, well done Andy.
First Brit since Bunny made it in the 1930's
Hope they get better line judges for the final.

Hard slog but well done Murray.
Will be interesting against Federer as both can start well and then fade a little like both did in the semi's.
Tsonga looked very gracious in defeat.

I hate Murray and I hope he loses in the final.
Absolutely nothing to like about him and I hope he's embarrassed in the final.

Annoys me when people say they don't "like" Andy Murray (or any other sports person)
Have you ever met him? What qualifies you to say there is nothing to like about him?
Yes he isn't as charismatic in front of the cameras as some others but that doesn't come as naturally to some people as others. He looked pretty emotional to me when he won. Just because he doesn't show it to the entire world....so what. I wouldn't either.
He's a tennis player. A very good one, and he's british. That is my only interest in him and I hope he wins on Sunday. The future of british tennis will be a whole lot better if he does.

Well said. If sporting competitions were won on personality, Federer would have won feck all and we'd never even have heard of Tiger Woods!!

After what he has been through it is amazing that he has turned out to be such a well balanced humorous individual.
Folk seem to forget that he is only 25 years old, three Wombletown semis and a final by that age is some record.
Judy did well to take him out of the LTA youth system and ship him out to Spain.
How much money do the LTA pour into British tennis to churn out a bunch of losers. Top English player is Jamie Ward ranked 173 in the world.

I can't believe people re seriously still going on about the Paraguay thing...
Speaking to Jonathan Overend on BBC Radio 5 Live the British No 1 said: "I'm surprised that the whole thing stuck [his reported dislike of England].
"I got asked about it a couple of days ago in interviews and they asked 'Why did you say that you bought a Paraguay shirt when England were playing against them?'.
"I never said that but it is in the papers and people believe what's in the papers all the time."
Murray stressed: "I never once had a Paraguay shirt and I never once said anything about that. I am pretty sure there won't have been quotes of me saying it in the paper.
"The journalist said to me 'So Andy are you going to be supporting Scotland in the World Cup?', knowing that Scotland hadn't qualified and he started laughing.
"So he asked me who I would be supporting in the World Cup, and I said 'Anyone but England ha-ha' and all of a sudden it's the biggest story ever."
However, the 22-year-old from Dunblane has put the episode behind him.
"That's the one thing that has annoyed me in the past, but I have moved on. Some of my family is English, my girlfriend is English, I work with two English fitness trainers, my coach is from Zimbabwe, but if you ask him where he's from he's English. I have an English physio, I live down here in London now, and I have a lot of English friends.
"I learnt a lot from it, as I realised the guys from the press are not your friends, and you can't joke with them about stuff like that. It's not worth it. It's not worth the hassle.
"It's fine to make jokes about yourself, but if you make jokes about other players, or football teams, it's big news."
At then end of the day, whether he said it or not, it was a joke, get over it. Murray is a superb tennis player who just happens to have the misfortune of being around alongside 3 of the greatest players that ever lived.
