I can't watch the match, is Berdych hitting the ball as well as he did vs Federer?

No, but there's an ongoing hurricane on the court. Impossible for both to really play well.

Nope, the wind is crazy.

 

[Randy Monk]

So I guess Murray is more favoured in these conditions?

That's what's everyone said before the match but they both look equally bothered by the wind.

 

[Randy Monk]

Looks like 1st set will go to a tie breaker

 

[Coldnoodle]

Godammit, stop moaning Andy.

 

[zero_suit]

Serena v. Azarenka postponed until tomorrow

 

[tycoonheart]

They need to postpone all matches.

 

[Coldnoodle]

TOMAAAAAAAAAAAAS

 

[EdibleExplosives]

That could've went either way, good first set.

This wind is ridiculous though, no one should be playing.

Edit: Holy shit, nice point.

 

[clemenx]

1h20m for 1 set. Sooo sluggish.

And they're moving Djokovic to Armstrong :/ Lolol bunch of people leaving Ashe.

What a mess.

 

[clemenx]

Wow Murray!

 

[rando14]

Lol 88 mph first serve ace

 

[Speevy]

There's soo much beauty in the world.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The plastic bag is the star of the show.

 

[Saty]

Common Berdych. Murray's attitude is still lousy. And he needs to change clothing sponsor; balls falling from pockets in Wimbledon, cap falling now. Look at Berdych's cap. Tight around the head - it won't fall even if you turn him upside down.

 

[Sax Russel]

lol, wow

 

[clemenx]

Lol!

 

[Akito]

A little windy today, eh?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Holy shit, lmao. I think Murray actually cracked a smile there.

 

[zero_suit]

LMAO, now the chairs were knocked down.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

When is the rain supposed to hit again?

 

[Akito]

Murray has fully adaped to the conditions now, Berdych not so much

 

[HeroMK]

The US Open is the worse grand slam. Not only do you have heavy rain but you also have heavy wind, tornado watches and planes flying across the court distracting the players.

 

[Speevy]

Murray's in full-on clever Murray mode now.

David Ferrer at the very least will make Djokovic do a lot more work to beat him.

 

[szaromir]

Damn Berdych imploded after the first set. :/

 

[John Dunbar]

can't believe this dude took out federer just to play like shit in the semi.

 

[Speevy]

can't believe this dude took out federer just to play like shit in the semi.

Federer played like shit. Murray isn't.

 

[zero_suit]

can't believe this dude took out federer just to play like shit in the semi.

Federror

Murray isn't making many mistakes.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

can't believe this dude took out federer just to play like shit in the semi.

No doubt brah, you beat the greatest champion of all time and bend over to a fucking non champion pusher.

 

[Saty]

And Murray was lucky to get to the SF.

 

[Speevy]

And Murray was lucky to get to the SF.

Murray's been in several semis and finals. He may not have played well enough to win these titles, but it's no accident that's he's at vying for them.

 

[Akito]

That's it I think

 

[Saty]

Yeah, but Cilic pretty much self-destructed to have Murray reach this semi.

 

[Nolan.]

Ugh crappy match

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Fucking absolutely pathetic display from Bird Shit, why you gotta lose to this brah Roger? If Thomas doen't think he can beat Murray then he shouldn't beat Roger.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The Murray love in this thread is beautiful.

 

[Timbuktu]

gaf generally don't like murray it seems

 

[Saty]

Meh, Berdych is still not in the stage of beating top seeds back-to-back and Murray wasn't playing out of the ordinary in the first two sets.

 

[Sax Russel]

I'm not generally a Murray fan, but I'll take him over this scrub into the final =P. I wouldn't even mind if he won his first slam here! Four different winners this year let's do it!

 

[MrSerrels]

So much bitterness. Murray has adapted brilliantly to the conditions. Berdych is one dimensional. That's the story. They're both playing in the same court.

Huh? Berdych started the match better and coped with conditions better and rightly won the set. Conditions were the same in the second but after the early break Berdych started fading away.

I think people are more angry because Federer's semis in the last few years were classics, whereas Berdych absolutely imploded and deprived us of a potentially great semi, so people would prefer if Fed was playing today.

 

[Timbuktu]

Speaking of Berdych imploding...

 

[Akito]

Epic comeback incoming?
No? Ok ._.

 

[Saty]

The comeback begins?

 

[HeroMK]

The wind has died down and Berdych immediately breaks back and we're back on serve. I hope he takes this to a 5th set and then the match gets rained out until tomorrow so he can play under normal conditions tomorrow.

Now way has the wind died, momentum just shifted. Not looking great for the second semi though.

 

[Spiritreaver]

Ugh, second semi is going to be depressing. I'm fine with the wind, but yeah...

 

[HeroMK]

Come on Tomas win this set so Murray can crumble under the pressure of the fifth set.
