Pretty happy with this match up. Murray's lack of powerful groundstrokes will give Fed a chance to set up his shots more than against Tsonga.

 

[DiZ_O]

For fuck's sake, first the Heat win the title,
and now this guy is going to win Wimbledon, isn't he.

 

[Timbuktu]

Whoever wins, it would be a good story and makes for a great Wimbledon.

And Chelsea somehow won the champions league

 

[Wes]

YES YES YES! I honestly never thought I'd see the day a British player made a singles final at Wimbledon. Well done Murray.

I am so so happy. Screw the Murray haters! BRING ON SUNDAY.

If by this guy you mean Roger Federer, then yes.

yup, this is how i see it. Fed will obviously be the favourite, but just a brit FINALLY making the final is huge.

Thanks for reminding me that, I just managed to erase that from my memory...Goddamnit.

This interviewer needs to be sacked.

 

[AceOcelot]

Why is he keeping his "pointing to the sky" a secret? Afraid to discuss religion?

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Word! murray all the way.

[Kosmo]

...to second place

 

[WascallyWabbit]

man these BBC reporters are no joke, lathering on the pressure with these questions

 

[Omzz]

I've always hated the "what were you thinking?" questions.

 

[Xun]

A good match.

Not a fan of Federer, so I'd like to see Murray win this Sunday. That and Murray deserves it more in my opinion.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

i think i know what you mean but your on thin ice saying things like that.

yeah yeah i'm about as far away from a racist as you can get i just REALLY think he looks like DK sometimes!

anyway, with Fed vs Murray there's 2 unexpected challengers for the title, i thought it was gonna be another Djoker - Nadal one

 

[Kosmo]

Well shit, Murray is 8-7 all time against Federer. All hard court, though.

 

[Wes]

man these BBC reporters are no joke, lathering on the pressure with these questions

Because this will be the single biggest sporting match in this country since 1996.

 

[bardia]

Fuck who do I cheer for? I'm a Federer fan boy, but at the same time I really want Murray to win his first grand slam. To do it at home at wimbledon would be unreal.

 

[Diprosalic]

ready to add another one:

hopefully he wins 18th otherwise he will screw up the row/column thingy.

 

[Maleficence]

Why is he keeping his "pointing to the sky" a secret? Afraid to discuss religion?

Probably smart, besides it might not be a god thing and more an important dead relative or something.

 

[WascallyWabbit]

what happened in 96? World cup?

 

[lazybones18]

Hope Federer wins in straight sets.

 

[Sage00]

How is it anyone's business?

 

[Peru]

Tsonga's a natural loser. Gets fans smiling at the end, but you can't help but feel like he thought he was going to lose from before he entered the court.

 

[Diprosalic]

what happened in 96? World cup?

they hosted the euros.

European Championships, England reached the semi-final.

The BBC ratings will be interesting, tennis has never come close to the peaks England matches get.

 

[AngryMoth]

With this final I'm not sure if I'll be happy either way or disappointed either way. Only thing I can hope for is a great match.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

Tsonga's a natural loser. Gets fans smiling at the end, but you can't help but feel like he thought he was going to lose from before he entered the court.

well apparently he had a REAL shitty record against top 5/10 players this year, he didn't win against ANY of them yet so i guess that kinda played a role too

 

[Bo-Locks]

Well shit, Murray is 8-7 all time against Federer.

2 wins from 2 in slam finals with 6 sets to love. I remember that Federer said a while back that although he didn't want to be disrespectful to Murray, that Murray beat him several times when he was suffering from mono and wasn't anywhere near his best. With Fed re-finding his form, if he can play like he did this morning, then he should win in straight sets.

He was in the Dunblane school massacre and he doesn't like to talk about it... But it could be anything really.

 

[John Dunbar]

Has anyone lost 4 Grand Slam finals without winning one? Seems to me like that would be Murray's chance at a record.

 

[Coldnoodle]

25'000 pounds for tickets to the finals? D8

THE ANDY MURRAYOMETER CAN'T WITHSTAND BRITISHNESS OF THIS MAGNITUDE!

Fed should bring back the pony tail.

Boris Becker lost 4 Wimbledon finals.

 

[Wes]

Ivan Lendl, Murray's coach since the start of the year, lost 4 slams before winning his first.

 

[Diprosalic]

Boris Becker lost 4 Wimbledon finals.

but he won his first GS final.

Ivan Lendl, Murray's coach since the start of the year, lost 4 slams before winning his first.

great, hope he teaches him to lose that fourth. he can win many after that.

That's because he's 97% British today.

Maybe Sunday will finally make him 100% Brit.

Best he ever did was the semis.

 

[Bo-Locks]

but he won his first GS final.

Ah, didn't see the second part.

 

[LegoArmo]

I might put a hell of a lot of money on Federer. Then I win either way...

 

[Jensen]

Nope, semi-finals at US, Wimbledon and French.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Is that an Olympic medal?

I had no idea about that, no wonder he's so miserable
