I P Knightley Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Does anyone know why Gillette chose to sponsor Roger Federer instead of Andy Murray? I see where you're coming from. That ad campaign was set up in February last year when Federer & Henry were still at/near the tops of their games. I have a mate in sports journalism who was at the launch during the Dubai Desert Classic & he was texting me in disbelief that he was 'hanging out' with Woods, Federer, Henry & Schumacher (the last not being in the ads, despite having that massive chin to shave).

They alluded to it on the telly last night but didn't actually give details. I think he said something about his momma being so fat that she beeped when walking backwards. Either that or it was some petty wrangling about a comment about slapping a bird. Wouldn't let it lie. There goes the first set. Gubbing is the word that the commentator's after but he said 'devastating'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Seeger Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 So far so good. Hopefully talent will prevail and it'll be over in 3 sets. Just to see the look on Judy's face.

Deek Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 He seems to have settled now. I was concerned it would be a 6-2, 6-2, 6-2. Federer was awesome in the first set. Hope Murrays knee is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blairdin Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I don't think anyone could live with Federer tonight. Still, Murray is a young guy and his time will come.

Great tournie, deserves huge credit. But this one'll be over in straight sets. Would totally disagree. If that call had gone the right way Murray would have won that second set and deservedly so.

Denny Crane Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 You hear the Amercans cheering as Murray had the ball in the air ready to serve? Tossers. Flushing Meadow has long had a reputation as a venue with a boorish crowd. Players have often complained of noise from planes flying overhead and the waft of cooking smells from adjacent hamburger stalls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray had caused problems for Federer on (I think) every serve Federer had in that second set. You are saying that first and third sets Fed has't been at his best?! Your watching a diff game from me then. I shudder to think what his best would have done to Murray. Yes there was the bad call in the 2nd and who knows how it might have gone if the call had been correct. However, i dont think it'd have changed the overall outcome of this match. Murray has done little wrong throughout, yet still finds himself staring at a straight sets defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
