Yeah, that''s what's worrying me. You'd have thought he'd have had the trainer on though.

Why does Murray always have a shit face on?
Even when he's warming up it looks like he had been sitting on the toilet for an hour shitting out last nights hot curry dinner.

Soon it'll be his back, his legs, his knees, his hamstring. Just a matter of time till he starts pulling a Nadal.

Obviously he hasn't been able to get over the anger of winning that first set.
Yeah, I've seen him just go despondent like this when he is injured without getting the trainer until the end of a set before though.
Some peoples resting face (mine too) looks angry.

he can't be injured when he makes shots like that

His soul is injured.
And possibly his racket.

Fucking Youzhny choking the set away.
What constitutes an injury though? I've seen him fall over and graze his knee before and act like he's been run over by a truck.

hopefully we can put this retro little episode behind us now.
Have you *seen* the Scottish diet?
Well if it was his back, it was really fucked. But yes, he does play shit up at times.
LMAO at people being angry at Andy's negative body language. He's the kind of guy who needs to get negative emotions out of the system, at least he never goes into rage mode Safin-style
Have you seen the little englanders with straw hats? They demand Henman gentlemanly losing.

Well, we did get quite a lot of it!
Its funny though in all seriousness, Henman got criticised for being a robot and Murray is criticised for being a rage addict.

Murray is ludicrously good at those lobs.
If nothing else, he is definitely the best lobber I have ever seen.
Edit: henman was quite good too

Obviously, the next Brit No. 1 should be Welsh. The perfect blend.
You don't have to look for Henman for the 'robot' complaints, though- Murray gets it for his general Scottish dourness.

Flip over to see Muraay clutching his leg, back and his jaw hurts. Yep he is nervous. Brah has fibromyalgia.

correct about everything
murray and his eternal phantom pains.

Yeah, but Safin was hilarious and enjoyable to watch. Nothing funny about Murray's antics and him acting like a victim whenever he doesn't win a point is just tedious.
delPo should close out his match, who are you going to cheer for in the Berdych-Tomic match? I think it'd be nice if Tomic won this one, we need a youngster breaking through and Tomic plays very interesting tennis and I love how he flips between a bad boy and a charismatic youngster.

Great return winner to take that 2nd set. Hopefully he doesn't stay too mad about it =P
Time to watch Tomic take out Berdych! =D

I want Murray to stay alive as long as Djokovic is still in the tournament, since he's probably the only legit shot to take him out.

FUCKING FINALLY.
That there is the difference between old and new Murray - not that he doesn't have those moments any more, but in the past he would have lost that set. He did amazingly well to come back. Hopefully he can stop the imaginary injuries pish now.

One of the commentators (Maybe Henman? Didn't catch who) noted that it didn't happen when he was winning points...
Anyhow: Impressive fightback, credit where it's due there. Shitty that the fightback was necessary, of course, but take positives where we can! Now to listen to the last(?) set on the bus home.

He looked like James Blake out there. Just closed his eyes, gripped his racquet tighter and hit as hard as he could.

Yeah, basically. I don't think he'll ever get rid of those weird moments in the same way Djokovic is probably never going to overcome his slow starts, but Murray's learnt to accommodate for them at least.
Lendl deserves all the credit in that I think. No coach got Murrays talent to overcome that quirk until he got lendl.

It's why I'm a little sad Rafa went out so early. Rafa-Murray matches at Wimbledon were the classic example of Murray doing well until he hit the lull and then self-destructing dramatically. I really wanted to see a post-Lendl match between the two.

the fuck was that
Only the tv and my phone right now, and the phone doesn't seem to do so well.
We'll no doubt get that in the next few years. No match will ever come close to Nadal v Federer all night epic though.

Greatest tennis match of all time, to be fair.
Certainly the greatest I've ever witnessed. I know the phrase "It had everything" is cliched, but well...it did.
