The Merse Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Baws! Murray politely, and diplomatically, challenged the umpire's interpretation of what he'd said. What's AM done to upset you so much by the way? Genuine question. Knocked back 3inagaydars homo advances or something. Pr*ck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 **** me - what a match! Roddick's tie break record this year is now a ridiculous 25-4. Incidentally, much earlier in the set when Murray was serving at 2-5, Roddick didn't challenge a wrong call which could've given him a set point. Shows how much HawkEye, and whether to challenge or not to challenge can change things. Still a long way to go though. For Roddick to win the match, he had to win that tie break; Murray still can win though, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Had his chances in that one. Roddick got v lucky on set point to Murray but fair play to the Yank, he's got balls of steel. That's pretty much it. Both of them came up with the goods in the tiebreak but ends up being a bit of a lottery in the end. Still think he can do this but if he goes a break down, he's had it.

I P Knightley Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The beeb website doesnt tell me whose serving...did he just break? The BBC text service is dismal with writing by a bunch of morons. It's also very slow in updating. You're going to get a better update if you go to http://www.wimbledon.org and clicking on the Live Scores link on the right hand side of the home page.

The Merse Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You usually see Roddick battering balls long and into the net quite regularly, he is getting everything in the court today though, Murray generally thrives on forciing his opponents into errors and it's just not happening here. I'm not confident for Murrays chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Gutted. Very worried now. Murray will only do it if he can break and avoid it going to a tiebreak. The way Roddick serves and the way Murray is serving today means that in a tiebreak Roddick is immediately overriding favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 You're more optimistic than me. I think Roddick will pick him off at some stage in this set He may well do. But each set is essentially on a knife edge - and if Murray hangs in there, momentum would then be with him in a decider. It's still too close to call I think.

At least today, his volleying has been better: against Federer in the 2005 final, he tried to serve and volley, but just bashed everything instead of punching them away. No technique at all - and meat and drink for the Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it goes to a 5th set you would have to fancy Murray after Roddicks five setter the other day. To get to a 5th he is deffo going to have to break him.

To get to a 5th he is deffo going to have to break him. Just can't see how he's going to win a tie break. Perhaps. Tie breaks are like penalty shoot-outs in many ways; a fraction of an inch settles them. Roddick's record this year is so good that the law of averages insists he has to lose one at some point - as he did against Hewitt the other evening. And Murray's stunningly improved serve gives him a chance in a breaker - plus Roddick will get nervous, as he did when serving for the third set.
