Andy Murray

[Johnboy]

Man.... I just love the grass.........

[Harry Chibber]

I think grass might be both players best surface so if both play up to potential it should be a cracking match. Clay's a slower surface and that seems to suit Nadal more. Federer looks unstoppable on grass, he really humiliated Tim Henman. Roddick had an easy 2nd round match too, so I hope Andy playing his doubles match last night hasn't taken the edge of his game. He was serving quite well at the end, won the match on an ace (right after he double faulted!)

Found Andy's Official Site, if anyone wants to post a message of support for him, beware of english henman lovers who aren't very happy with Andy for some bizarre reason  :015:

The English are fairly getting stuck in2 Murray

[Mee]

Aye and I'm getting stuck into them back!!!!

What erseholes are posting, Scottish and english ones! Not you though Harry!)

[Harry Chibber]

I posted earlier.. think I probably started the argument :010:

[Mee]

Nah, its been going on for days! Ever since he said he was supporting anyone but England in the World Cup. More fragile english egos  :001:

[Mee]

His match is just about to start so Ive abandoned the football! Wish Portugal luck for me  :001:

[Harry Chibber]

Murray's playing some of the best Tennis I've seen.......go on Murray get it up 'em!!

[Mee]

Feck Ive died and gone to heaven!!!! That was tremendous! Andy Murray just did to Andy Roddick what we normally do to Hibs!!!!! Come on Andy!!!! Fourth round here we go  :003: :003: :003:

[Ritchie Sacramento]

England papped out, Murray through, can it get any better ? :clapping04: :clapping04: :clapping04:

[Johnboy]

No it doesn't get much better than this... What a performance Andy boy ....!!

Thank feck the worst team in the World Cup finally got their come-uppance.... They've played the most boring football in tournament.... Along with that bl*ody awful Motson they are just pathetic.....

What a great day to be Scottish!  I think Andy was having a wee giggle to himself when asked about the England game but all credit to him for conducting himself in such a way from the questions he was asked!

I wonder now that the world cup is over for England if all those that were giving him stick b4 will be praising the new "british" hero.

Well done Andy you've done us all proud!

[Mee]

[Johnboy]

Unlucky to get an"away" fixture....

[Mee]

:015: but lucky not to be in Federer's half of the draw  :015:

[Heilandee]

Good lad,go get em Andy,never doubted it for a minute........ :clapping04:

[Johnboy]

Yeah - but looks like he'll face Hewitt again if he wins through on Monday....  If he can produce the form he produced today again - what's to stop him reaching the final....

He really is something special - watching him today you just knew that once he returned Roddick's serve and started a rally, he would end up winning the point - he's got such a fantastic array of shots.....

[Mee]

He beat Hewitt at the San Jose Open too.....  :003: :003: :003:

[tm4tj]

He played some fantastic tennis today, probably as good as he has ever played, and he even conducted himself in a reasonable manner. :003:well done that boy.

[Caley4eva]

Oh yeah there is only one Andy Murray !!!!!!!!!! Even though i only seen the last set as i was working that was bloomin marvellous. Proud to be scottish

[Mee]

Im still grinning from yesterday, fantastic stuff!

The order of play for Monday has Andy playing Baghdatis in the second match on Centre.

COME ON ANDY!!!!!

You are spot on there, Harry - The English are very quick to switch to being British when it suits them.... Good to see the media completely taken in by Andy saying that it would have been great for British sport had England won the world cup.... nice one, Andy - you fooled them all with that one..!!  :015: :015:

[Mee]

I taped his match so I'm watching it again - I'm just enjoying his fantastic serve at 4-2 in the first set tiebreak - and I also get to enjoy Ronaldo scoring his penalty all over again  :003: :003: :003:

[Mee]

Thats him out on Centre court now.

COME ON ANDY!!!!!!  :003:

[tm4tj]

He has started at snails pace, not the same conviction he had when he played Roddick. If he does not wake up soon, the histrionics will start and he will be out sooner rather than later.

Wake up son ffs

[tm4tj]

Quite frankly he needs a boot up the erse. That must be the worst attempt by anyone to play tennis, it's as though he can't be ersed because it's not his balls, once again his attitude stinks. Get the finger out laddie, you are playing rubbish and just don't look interested.

Or are you just wanting a five setter?
