Tommy Wiseau Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The crowd don't like Andy much... They were quite behind him until his wee rant in the first set. I thought he had a point, to be fair - shouting out in the middle of a point is bad form, old chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 The crowd don't like Andy much... They don't like him stopping during points or whining like he did earlier, no. But basically, all they want is a long, close match, so naturally want Wawrinka to level it up. Now's the acid test for Stan. Two serves for 1-1.

shaun.lawson Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 I didn't see the 1st set so have no idea what happened. Enlightenment would be helpful. Wawrinka went 5-2 up in what looked like an action replay of their first set at Wimbledon last year. Murray then stepped it up while Wawrinka went off the boil, breaking back and taking the set in a tie-break. But from 3-0 up in the second, Murray should never, ever have let Wawrinka back in. That's not what Grand Slam winners do I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wawrinka shouted "ALLEZ" during the point, Murray lost the point, Murray had a greet to the umpire, crowd booed, umpire told him to sling his hook, Murray turned it on and won the set from receiving to save it at 4-5.

Arthur Morgan Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Yep, after Wawrinka took the 2nd set I had a sneaky feeling that he would go on an win the match and still do. Obviously I would like Murray to win but he has let the rage take over and that will probably lose him the match, hope I'm wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboy81 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Unbelievable scenes. Winky calls for the physio just as Murray starts to limp. Could this be the break Muzza needs?

Not wanting to turn this into a football discussion just found it an odd thing to say as Hearts are probably the worst offenders from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Murray's links to them must be tenuous at best anyway, however I personally couldn't give a toss what team he supports, and thats all i'll say on the matter! The comeback's on! Mon the Muzza!

Murray's links to them must be tenuous at best anyway, however I personally couldn't give a toss what team he supports, and thats all i'll say on the matter! The comeback's on! Mon the Muzza! Hearts have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory plenty of times in the past, yes - but nowhere near as often since 1998. Hibs, on the other hand, aren't even good enough to get close to victory in the first place. That's the difference. That makes Hibs like the Chicago Cubs; and Hearts like the Boston Red Sox, with both of the latter having got the monkey off our backs in recent years, while both of the former are still waiting. Do I think a football/tennis comparison is appropriate in the first place, though? No - however hermetique Murray's performance has undoubtedly been tonight. A set and a break down in the fourth, his back is now firmly against the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to point out the obvious but Hibs did win silverware more recently but anyway, Its kind of a futile argument, as both clubs are alsorans when it comes to winning trophies. Not wanting to add fuel to the fire as far as Hearts fans having an over-inflated opinion of themselves are concerned, but.....aren't the Red Sox one of the most successful teams in Baseball? I have limited knowledge of American sport but that seems a very generous comparison on the face of it, Who would Rangers and Celtic be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
