Come on Murray

Match point for Murray
Not sure if serious.
So close. It was a difference of one error. Got real interesting at the end. Berdych could have won the fifth in that form, a shame he let himself go for a couple of sets. The conditions are worst than at my local club though, the planes sounded like Kowloon City with the old HK airport.
Really don't understand why gaf hates Murray so much, like Fed would have automatically won this semi if not for Berdych.

Murray with the win!
Very tactical. Big swings in momentum. The wind wreaking havoc. Very tight match. Not dazzling or pretty tennis, but nevertheless, very engrossing.
His awful on court behavior for one? Probably the worst behavior for any tennis player worth something, that's not hard to understand

No that would be Serena.
Serena doesn't start screaming and cursing when she loses a point, Murray should've gotten plenty of fines already for that
Murray is worse than Serena. Whenever an opponent hits a winner on him Murray screams profanity and then starts to pretend that he is injured. Holding his back, grabbing his toes, grimacing etc. How can anyone like him when he is screaming like this every time he loses a point or hits an error?
Not an issue for me. Bullshit injury breaks and gamesmanship piss me off much more than some screaming or sulking.Murray is worse than Serena.

Good to see Murray win!
It's pathetic.
I typically avoid tennis threads for this reason.

Much better to scream after a point than during one (see: women's tennis). He has a fiery streak, which is typical of a Scotsman, and there's nothing wrong with that. No problem with showing your emotions.
Yes there is no problem with screaming profanity in front of the millions of little kids watching.

The worst demeanour, perhaps. And I don't think he feigns injuries any more or less than the other top mens players. Djokovic was criticised for it a lot but he doesn't get the same levels of hate as Murray does.
That's what has warmed to to Murray, he just doesn't give a fuck about what people want him to act like, and be like. He's a grouchy Scot with a negative body language on court. So what? Deal with it. In interviews he seems like a nice guy and even just now he cracked a self depreciating joke about being from Scotland. I bet he's probably one of the nicest guys on the tour.

Wake up buddy. The heat's already turned up.
EDIT: Such a weird tourney this year. Everything just feels, off.

Indeed, he seems like a nice guy in my opinion.

So what if he gets emotional on the court?
Ugly? Really?
Some of his facial expressions may not be flattering, but you seriously consider the guy ugly?
People really do hate the guy for the stupidest reasons it would seem.

Ehhh, I agree they should've let him serve it out, but it's a tough call to make.

They suspended Syracuse USC as well.
Looks like some pretty bad storms expected.

No doubt, unfair that Pusherray will have a days rest. Make it a Tuesday final.

I find GAF's general hate and dismissal of Murray really strange. Puts me off tennis threads for the most part.
