Load of " BALLS " if you aske me..what with duece and luv...must be a French game 

[Kendo1690]

Murray=Choker,
Yet again

[Toledodude1973]

Be careful robin hood will get out of his pram again!

From what I saw, Federer had that it in the bag very early on. Still the best player in the world, and not one jot of suprise over the result.

Murry may as well have had a Mr Blobby suit on. Nobody was winning that except Federer. Why the suprise...?

[jonnycool]

Yeah, Federer's a legend - Murray isn't quite up to his standard - but then nobody is. He gave it his best shot, and fair play to him I reckon, he's the best British player for a few generations. Who cares about the British/Scottish thing anyway?

He's never going to win Personality of the Year but he's a tennis player, not a daytime TV presenter, I'd rather see someone with a bit of fire in their belly than the ponce Henman any day

It is a tennis match Jc, as you say, not a popularity contest. I like McEnroe meself. Loud mouth yank that he was.

[feeutfo]

Just seen the interviews at the end. What a heart less bunch you are, mostly.

You don't like him? You can't be serious?

Probably no one will agree with this but here's what i thought,... I'm sure  Federer gave Andy the 1st set to make it look better on Andy and to make it interesting as im sure Federer knew about the long gap in years since a BRITISH / Scottish player has been in the finals and if Federer wipe washed him there probably would have been a riot or similar he still wanted to win mind so kept it close at times then just left him for dust near the end.. Thats just my opinion ... Good game though at times 

[Murph]

Its certainly possible.
I did notice that Federer was making some really silly mistakes in that first set.
Not what you would expect from a 6 time champion!

[bootie]

I thought the game was good entertainment. I agree with some of the comments regarding Federer 'letting' Andy Murray win the first set, although you have to bear in mind that he has beaten the swiss king before in a major tourney. Maybe, just maybe, he had 'the stuff' to take it to the wire but after the rain break, with the roof closed, Feds came on strong.
It's well known that his indoor game (as that is what it became) is sooooo much better.

The interview at the end will have changed a lot of peoples opinion of the 'dour Scot' He came across as a man humbled by the support, the mainly English support!

As for being anti English, I don't think he actually is, didn't this all stem from an interview with Henman and some radio DJ banter about the english football team a couple of years back when he said something along the lines of he would support any team that is playing against England or something like that.

At 25 he has done well to get into the final of that grand slam, I would like to see him capitalise on that 'success' and go on and win a few more to get his rating and confidence up and then next year, go for it.

I don't personally know the guy, but I do object to the haters that think they do, I mean c'mon, hating a TV persona is pretty petty isn't it?

[Richie London]

All jokes aside i think the pressure he was under being British was extremely huge and must of been hard to focus as well as he normally does. this isn't just some championship but the biggest there is. Its a great achievement that can't be knocked as he's proved he's up there with the greatest payers and only time will tell if he can become a wimblwdon champ.  lets hope he can. 

[bob.dent]

Unfortunately like the majority of British sports men and women, we seem to lack that killer instinct, total desire to win and ability to play under pressure.

[tunnie]

This was one of if not his best chances, Nadal was out, he did not have to face either Federer or Djokovic to reach the final.
