Squirrelhumper Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 No but most folk watch football all year.not just once like tennis.some have a genuine interest while most just talk shyte.. You know Tennis is on TV every week during the year? It could be argued that you talk sh1te about football even though you watch it all the time.

Caledonian Craig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Murray leads 5-4 and is about to serve for the first set. Pospisil hanging in there gamely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Murray wraps up the first set 6-4. That will be that as Pospisil has played too much tennis in the last few days to be able to fight back and win from here. Decent player though and no discernible real weaknesses.

min Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Federer's serve has been broken for the first time since the first round at Halle - 116 service games. Doesn't look like it's affected him though as he immediately breaks back... Now serving for a two set lead... once they get back on court after another rain break.

Caledonian Craig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Federer's serve has been broken for the first time on grass this year after 116 service games in Halle and Wimbledon. Doesn't look like it's affected him though as he immediately breaks back... Now serving for a two set lead... once they get back on court after another rain break. I knew Federer would have no problems with Simon. Just look at the Frenchman's slam record over the years and it is not eye-opening. Murray will need to be on his toes at resumption as he will be serving and needs to hold on the second set may go to the big Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus with the roof closing, it basically becomes an indoor match. Couldn't have happened at a more crucial point in the set. The next game is huge.

Caledonian Craig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It should be straight-forward from here. Murray now leads 6-4 7-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
min Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Another 90 minute stroll for Federer. This win means Murray can't take the number 2 ranking at Wimbledon, regardless of the semis and final results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Murray wins 6-4 7-5 6-4. Workmanlike from Andy against a determind opponent. Job done but must go up a level against Federer in Friday's semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Clinical from Murray in my view. Did everything required of him and did it well. Looks to me to be improving every game and playing at a high level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scot scotland scottish Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It's a great sport. I actually prefer the 500 series tournaments to the likes of Wimbledon. Although granted you wouldn't get a 5 setter like we witnessed tonight. Sky cover those tournaments really well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am hoping the Murray match is on first on Friday as at around 5.15pm will be off to work. Key for Murray getting the win - play aggressively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
