I'm conflicted. I don't want Djokovic to ever catch up to Fed's slam record, but I cannot root for that unlikable Scottish pusher. Ugh.

 

[Saty]

And you ask us why we dislike Murray? Here is why.

 

[Omzz]

lmao andy

 

[Sax Russel]

Andy. Andy it's ok. Show me on the doll where it hurts.

 

[John Dunbar]

murray getting wimby 2012 flashbacks with rooferer.

 

[Machine Messiah]

Andy shut the fuck up

Jerzy shut the fuck up

Let's just end Wimbledon 2013 with Djoker beating Delpo

And you ask us why we dislike Murray? Here is why.

ding ding ding

 

[phaze]

"I don't understand those rules" :lol

 

[Exterminieren]

Murray rightfully pissed. This is British jobsworthiness at its absolute worst.

 

[Chris R]

Wait, are there no lights available when the roof is closed?

 

[pulsemyne]

He's completely correct though.

 

[Vivalaraza]

:lol loving the reactions

suck it Jerzy.

 

[Coldnoodle]

:lol Murray.

 

[szaromir]

Same, people expect the crowd to be normal and not get behind our player. Fuck right off I don't watch much Tennis atall but come the fuck on.

Wimbledon just wants to create the reputation that its fanbase is all about tennis regardless of players' origins. But in reality they're cheering for the local player as much or even more than French Open and definitely much much more than US Open.

 

[Onikaan]

Is he BLIND?

 

[Omzz]

andy murray's weakness is the roof. he knows this

 

[keit4]

Yes, how dare they cheer for the local player. It's not like Spanish fans would do that, is it?

Oh, i'm sure they would, but this crowd is terrible anyways.

 

[kharma45]

Strange. Light is still perfectly fine.

 

[killer_clank]

And you ask us why we dislike Murray? Here is why.

Why? There's still light. And Murray has momentum. Though both players have a point.

 

[MIMIC]

DISQUALIFY MURRAY, FINE & BAN HIM

Spoiler

j/k

edit: Well at least the WB crowd knows enough about tennis to know that JJ is at an advantage, lol

 

[Tc91]

And you ask us why we dislike Murray? Here is why.

What because Janowicz has been playing for the past hour with the same conditions? He's been whining all fucking game.

 

[Speevy]

So much complaining.

 

[MrPing1000]

Murray has a point.

 

[Little Old Man]

Good. Could barely see a thing in the last set.

 

[caesar]

And you ask us why we dislike Murray? Here is why.

Its not dark though. Suspend play for 20 minutes, fucking idiot decision.

 

[zero_suit]

Momentum lost?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I like JJ, but Murray's in the right here. -shrugs-

 

[qindarka]

andy murray's weakness is the roof. he knows this

Murray is a great indoor player.

 

[kmag]

Joke decision. There's at least another 40 minutes of light, the game could be over by then. Why stop for 20 minutes until you absolutely need to?

 

[Onikaan]

Murray is a great indoor player.

Not judging by his reaction to the news.

Joke decision. There's at least another 40 minutes of light, the game could be over by then. Why stop for 20 minutes until you absolutely need to?

Exactly. Let's close the roof because it looks cool.

 

[Best]

Janowicz is such a bitch

 

[Withnail]

Murray deserves his reputation for being whiny but he's right about the roof. This is bull and I doubt it would be happening now if Jancowicz hadn't been lobbying for it.

 

[kharma45]

Not judging by his reaction to the news.

It is more that it has killed his momentum.

 

[Meadows]

JJ just wants a fucking indoor game because he prefers it.

load of bollocks

Wimbledon is an outdoor tournament

 

[kitch9]

Before the roof play went on until after 9.30.

Murray is justified you lol boys need to get a grip.

 

[qindarka]

Not judging by his reaction to the news.

He is annoyed more so for the loss of time and momentum, I think. At the rate it was going, the match could have been over in 20 minutes.

 

[mclem]

Can see fair arguments both ways. It will look farcical if the match ends in a situation where it's still sufficiently light, though.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Murray is right. This is ridiculous.

 

[MIMIC]

They need a concrete roof rule. That back and forth was so unnecessary

 

[Saty]

Why? There's still light. And Murray has momentum. Though both players have a point.

Yes, Andy has momentum, exactly. Do you think he would have acted so fiercely about closing the roof if he was 2-1 down?

The issue isn't if there's sufficient light or not. I can't imagine any other player in the top10 throwing a fit about the decision. Just accept it and move on, you're in the lead.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Murray deserves his reputation for being whiny but he's right about the roof. This is bull and I doubt it would be happening now if Jancowicz hadn't been lobbying for it.

No hes not. Roof shouldve been on before match started. Andy is not right.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Not judging by his reaction to the news.

I assume the momentum issue is what's annoying him more.

His indoor record is fine.

 

[Nevasleep]

Doesn't TV sometimes make it seem lighter than it actually is. Although the commentators don't seem to think so yet.

He's like a toddler in a supermarket

 

[agrajag]

Murray is a fucking dill hole. Why shouldn't they close the roof now instead of halfway into 4th set?

 

[Speevy]

I like Murray's angry Scotsman. Beats his dull Brit.

 

[kharma45]

No hes not. Roof shouldve been on before match started. Andy is not right.

Why? Its not dark.

 

[miserable]

Wait, are we supposed to pretend Djokovic's box isn't full of annoying characters?

i fuckin hate Nole's posse. especially his girlfriend, who always has this damsel in distress look on her face, and always yells.

 

[Sax Russel]

If it makes you guys feel better Murray will still probably win =P

 

[LuuKyK]

Yeah, it does seem like a dumb decision, but JJ has been talking about it since mid-third set. I think the organization couldnt simply ignore it fearing people would say they are favoring Andy if he ended up winning...

 

[John Dunbar]

Not judging by his reaction to the news.

these wounds won't seem to heal

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Murray is a fucking dill hole. Why shouldn't they close the roof now instead of halfway into 4th set?

Because Wimbledon is an outdoor tournament that should be played outdoors. As much of it as can feasibly be completed outdoors, should be. The roof should only be used to prevent even longer delays (ie, rain or when matches would run late).
