    Anyone been following it this year?

    Usually one of my favourite tournaments have skyplussed a fair few games with the time difference.

    Fedderer was class against Wavrinka yesterday and Murray has shone throughout.

    Mens has been going to plan....until now.

    Rafa currently 2 sets down and a break down in the third to his mate Ferrer. Looks like it could well be another grand slam for Rodge, he will have to beat Djokevic and Murray/Ferrer to do it.

    Looks like he was carrying an injury, you never hear of Rafa being beaten in straight sets in an open. Ferrer was very gracious in victory saying it was a hollow victory on his mate who he could see was struggling with fitness.

    English media will have a field day now tomorrow, watch, bigging up their "British" pet Murray's chances. :rolleyes:

    Murray has a great chance of winning this. Djokovic is playing well, he will push Federer I say.

    in fairness lads i wouldn't say murray bottled it,i watched the whole game and jokavic was simply awesome.he was 5-0 up at one stage in the 2nd set.murray got close to him at times but it was clear from early on that there was only going to be one winner..

    I wouldnt say he bottled it either. Each final he has gone into he has been up against a lad who just plays super human tennis. Every time murray had under the cosh he pulled a shot out of absolutely nothing.
