time for injured guy v sick guy

crowd here love muzza

Awww Victor Troicki.. Such a cutie!

ESPN showing Sharapova match. I don't want to make my ears bleed again, so I'll be looking for a stream for the Murrya match.

Troicki has a great serve, so Murray needs to focus heavily on holding. Also, was competing evenly with Dolgo in mixing it up, which can throw him off. Plus, just plain has power.

No mercy being shown as far as moving Murray. Cmon, man, get early break

Troicki has a great serve, so Murray needs to focus heavily on holding. Also, was competing evenly with Dolgo in mixing it up, which can throw him off. Plus, just plain has power.

Well that didn't start well for Murray

Troicki breaks! While not impossible on clay, he'll have trouble breaking someone with such a huge serve from down a break.

Great play by Troicki. He means business.

Murray doesn't seem to be moving well at all.

Murray doesn't look comfortable

murray is dead..this match wont be finishing

Murray is moving very badly

Murray doesn't look that good. Seems that Murray's tournament will be ended with an injury. Real shame.

Opens with first of many aces. And then a huge backhand. On fire, Troicki so far. Another huge serve and 40-0

Not looking good here.

Shit. Should have made the final with his clown draw.

Murray doesn't seem to be moving well at all.

Murray doesn't look comfortable

murray is dead..this match wont be finishing

:lol: We all had the same idea

how long before he calls it quits, hopefully a set :)

Yet another of his big serves (how does he do that?! he isn't tall!) and consolidated!

lol Murray is in for a hard day's work.

how long before he calls it quits, hopefully a set :)
Why hopefully? :stupid:

Murray doesn't look that hurt, was worse vs Berrer. Just needs to be aggressive and try not to move

Murray cant even move

lol Murray is in for a hard day's work.
It's not funny. He had a great draw and an injury has put a dampener on things. He could work himself into the match perhaps?

Murray should retire for his ankle.

Murray is whacking the ball...

Why hopefully? :stupid:

1st set retirement rules at my book

Nice passing shot from Viktor.

BP

lol Murray is in for a hard day's work.

Very bad for the game if Soderking can't get it done.

Murray nets the BH. Double break for Troicki

There is nothing nice against injured opponent, you do what you have to.

Broken again. Not looking good.

Must be really embarrassing for Berrer. Troicki easily destroying Murray a third as hurt as he was when berrer lost. Guess that's why Troicki is a top player and Berrer a journeyman. Less killer instinct than Lacko.

Double break. Viktor's playing pretty well though (just if you ignore the injury)

I'm sorry but there's something wrong with Sharapova winning RG. Just shows the pathetic state of WTA these days. :o

yep, Troicki's playing smart tennis

Troicki is not Berrer so Murray will have to run a lot to earn points and so far it`s a struggle to win games.Probably if things don`t improve after first set he will throw in the towel

May as well quit Andy and look towards grass. It's sad, as he could have had a real go at this RG.

I'm sorry but there's something wrong with Sharapova winning RG. Just shows the pathetic state of WTA these days. :o

she won't win

Murray doesn't look that hurt, was worse vs Berrer. Just needs to be aggressive and try not to move

lol yeah even vs Troicki trying not to move the whole match wont give him much of a chance.

I actually think Vik would be winning anyway. He's playing great. Granted, he would probably choke.

Murray doesn't look hurt, so I maybe the ankle isn't damaged or sore. His movement is just very shaky atm. He could work his way into this match.

Ajde Troickiiii

I actually think Vik would be winning anyway. He's playing great. Granted, he would probably choke.

He would not win, he is totally useless against top players.

hang about... this is troicki we're talkin about... he can and will mug it up

I actually think Vik would be winning anyway. He's playing great. Granted, he would probably choke.

Murray's best is better than Troicki's best every day of the week.

Troicki had right idea, awful execution. Trouble.

Huge forehand and Andy has a break point.

He would not win, he is totally useless against top players.
Hence the last part of that post

Well Viktor seemed to decide just to hit right to Murray...but big serve to save BP

Murray doesn't look hurt, so I maybe the ankle isn't damaged or sore. His movement is just very shaky atm. He could work his way into this match.

The ankle's probably very stiff and sore right now, he's hoping the muscles warm up and adrenaline/painkillers can kick in before he decides if he can continue.

Murray's best is better than Troicki's best every day of the week.brad gilbert jinxed him :p

Murray is really unleashing a hell of a lot of power on some shots. Shame that they're not going in enough.

Murray's best is better than Troicki's best every day of the week.

Where did he say otherwise?

<_<

Big-serving Serb looking very good, Murray not so much

yeah muzza fit would be an easy straight set win..he will retire after this set

Murray going for power FHs, not a good sign...

Great return from Vik.

Wow, enormous shot. No idea why people hate him, he gets some great shots in.

Ugh, just retire. This is painful to watch.

Don't twist YOUR ankle too. You can't get there, so don't try

Bagel him Viki! :lol:

Murray in ballbasher mode :eek:

Mugray :wavey: Hope the clown gets eliminated here.

Where did he say otherwise?

<_<

He said Troicki would be winning anyway, which is silly.

Well that was an interesting point...

Murray's movement looked ok there

he's moving a bit better now, needs to S&V

Bagel him Viki! :lol:
Yeah, an injury is hilarous :stupid:

You do realise it would be the other way round if it wasn't for the ankle? :stupid:

NID, this is Nadal's half :o

:haha:

Troicki playing some great tennis, regardless of Murray's injury

Mugray :wavey: Hope the clown gets eliminated here.
It's because of the ankle injury, you classless fool :wavey: Murray haters in full force :sport:

He said Troicki would be winning anyway, which is silly.

Troicki's playing amazing, as just demonstrated. He prob couldn't have maintained it physically or mentally, and Murray at his best is better, but Troicki's actual shots are better than Murray's so far

He said Troicki would be winning anyway, which is silly.

Well Murray hasn't been playing his best throughout the tourney anyway.

Viktor Troicki is going to reach a RG SF...

Murray's reverted to the same game plan as against Berrer post-injury, the only problem is Troicki isn't anywhere near as forgiving.

Should just retire IMO, and get it rested for the grass season.

Dedicated to Danger_Ehren. Scottish mug getting bageled by Troicki. Must have forgotten to eat his haggis this morning :awww:

Chela/Troicki for a place in the semis...who saw that one coming :haha:

Murray should retire, ballbashing every FH isn't going to win him the match.

Troicki is about to fucking BAGEL Murray :lol:

Troicki top 10 after RG :haha:

Dedicated to Danger_Ehren. Scottish mug getting bageled by Troicki. Must have forgotten to eat his haggis this morning :awww:
You're not very good at using your brain, are you? He has an injury, hence the scoreline :stupid: Are you blind?

Troicki will be top 10 ytd with a win. could honestly make the wtf. how is he on grass?

Dedicated to Danger_Ehren. Scottish mug getting bageled by Troicki. Must have forgotten to eat his haggis this morning :awww:

Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with the injured ankle, nothing at all...:rolleyes:

wtf....

vicky the vicious rears his ugly fangs!!

murray definitely has trouble moving

NID, this is Nadal's half :o

Fognini withdraw :wavey:

Troicki top 10 after RG :haha:

I think he has to beat Chela.

Troicki's playing amazing, as just demonstrated. He prob couldn't have maintained it physically or mentally, and Murray at his best is better, but Troicki's actual shots are better than Murray's so far

He's playing amazing against an injured opponent. Surely you understand that the match changes completely if Murray can move and doesn't smack the cover off of the ball at every opportunity?

Murray is not Fognini.
He can't hit amazing winners without moving.

Go Viktor, bagel the constipated scottish girl.

Murray trying to summon the ballbashing power of Soderling? :lol:

Getting nervous even at 5-0 :p

too good murray. doesnt want the bagel embaressment from this mug

Murray should retire, ballbashing every FH isn't going to win him the match.

Sometimes an injury will start feeling better after awhile of playing. But, Murray has had two break points in this game, so he's able to compete.

Murray breaks and gets a game. He seems to be playing better now. Let's see what happens. This set is pretty much lost, but maybe the ankle is getitng better.

He has to beat Murray first. Let's wait and see

Fognini withdraw :wavey:

Fognini was not a threat to anyone.

You're not very good at using your brain, are you? He has an injury, hence the scoreline :stupid: Are you blind?

he enjoys provoking you. One of the pleasures of MTF, is to provoke people.

Wow, that was a bad game

Yeah, absolutely nothing to do with the injured ankle, nothing at all...:rolleyes:

If he is injured he shouldn't have walked out on court. If he is on court, then he's healthy. Isn't that what Nadal haters have been telling us for years? Don't like the taste of your own medicine?

Troicki :lol:

a twisted ankle is nothing. murray should stop being a little bitch and man the fuck up.

The Bagel is canceled, folks!

No bagel...dedicated to Topspinclown :wavey:

a twisted ankle is nothing. murray should stop being a little bitch and man the fuck up.

its just a flesh wound.

If he wasn't able to play, he wouldn't step on the court.

He obviously thinks/is able to play, enjoy the show.

dead Murray to win the set from 0-5 to 7-5 :eek:

What a bizarre twist in this set :lol:

He might loose the set but at least he showed some promise looking forward.

dead Murray to win the set from 0-5 to 7-5 :eek:
He did that to Fognini a while ago, except he won in a tiebreak. It was hilarious.

2 aces in a row. The ankle seems to be getting much better. This will be interesting.

If he wasn't able to play, he wouldn't step on the court.

He obviously thinks/is able to play, enjoy the show.

against this clown he could have a chance even if he cant move

If he wasn't able to play, he wouldn't step on the court.

He obviously thinks/is able to play, enjoy the show.
Yes, but the injury has obviously made his ankle very stiff and it's hard to move around with a stiff ankle. It seems to be getting better though, so enjoy the show if Andy manages to get his movement back on track :wavey:

Time to see who's got the bigger brain in this game.

15-0 on 2nd try at going up 1-0

Viktor has a great serve...

Fognini withdraw :wavey:

Are you seriously comparing Fognini with Murray?

Typical nadulltard

BIG forehand and 15-30!!!

15-30 (FH winner from Murray)

2 BPs for Murray

Whats up with Mugray? Nadal must be laughing here. No real challenge until the Final. If i was Murray i'd quit now and prepare for Grass where i think he has a shot at winning.

hilarious...

How do you choke 5-0 vs injured opponent? Cuz he's tryin
Yup, 15-40.

My goodness...

:lol: Murray gets the break back

Triple break to single break. Facepalm.

lololololol

Troicki is going to get seriously tight if he has to serve yet again.

Amazing passing shot! :worship: And another break!! The ankle is getting better and he is moving much better. COME ON!

:rolls: I love it when Murray's shotmaking comes off.

Unbelievable. Murray looks like he'll take it in an easy 4 even if he can't pull out a third break to take this set. I just hope they finish tonight.

:spit: no way troicki is winning this match :lol:

chokicki

LOL, or perhaps not...

Now what was all that about "Murray should retire?" :lol:

lmaoo either murray is faking hard about that ankle, or troicki is a complete joke, ill go with a combo...

Interesting. Maybe Murray was so tentative at the start just because he was worried about the ankle.

Troicki does appear tight, but Andy is really going for everything.

Andy is overpowering Viktor atm.

Viktor Troicki, you are the biggest choker alive

The ankle is getting better and he is moving much better. COME ON!

:haha::haha::haha::haha:

Clearly feeling a bit better. Maybe it's loosened up.

Wow, Troicki suddenly turned to absolute shit.

Hilarious shotmaking this.

lmaoo either murray is faking hard about that ankle, or troicki is a complete joke, ill go with a combo...
Nah, the ankle just took time to get better. Stiffness must've caused his bad start, and now it's better.

ANDY POWER! Pusher? Lmfao.

Whats up with Mugray? Nadal must be laughing here. No real challenge until the Final. If i was Murray i'd quit now and prepare for Grass where i think he has a shot at winning.to win this #1 will have to play Soderling > Murray > Djokovic. I'm sure he' shitting his pants over that.

Viktor Troicki, you are the biggest choker alive

My how short our memories are. I still say Montanes is.

wow... i think murray just stumbled upon how to disarm troicki: immediately give him a lead that a 10 year couldnt blow...

He'll still lose the set, but the rest of the match may be competitive.

:haha::haha::haha::haha:
He is though, what's so funny?

If he is injured he shouldn't have walked out on court. If he is on court, then he's healthy. Isn't that what Nadal haters have been telling us for years? Don't like the taste of your own medicine?

Well clearly he felt it wasn't too risky to at least give it a go for a set or so, and to decide from there whether or not he's okay to play on.

Also the hypocrisy from the all of Nadal tard's is hilarious. So quick to discredit Murray after he destroyed Nadal at USO '08 and AO '10, saying it was only due to Nadal being injured, yet they all come crawling out of the woodwork as soon as they see Murray struggling today, conveniently ignoring his obvious and legit injury...

I'm laughing, even rooting for Troicki. How the hell is anyone this mentally weak? he's Falla level.

troicki is a mug.

:lol: at the way he's turned into Federer, smoking ground winners at will.

So if Murray wins this set, no one should EVER say that Troicki bends over for Djokovic after this debacle. :lol:

So if Troicki wins this the winner Nadal/Soderling pretty much got a free road to the final? that would be crazy. But still early in the match

Troicki was like OMG OMG OMG I could win here OMG I could win Murray OMG I could go to semis and then his brain shuts down

His movement is much better. Great stuff!

That was not a difficult pass, despite awful dropper to begin. And he misses another one! Haha I'm in hysterics.

BH overhead :yeah: Fab from Muzz.

The ankle seems to be getting much better. This will be interesting.

Ankles dont just heal like that. It just proves Mugray was faking an injury once again, which is his usual modus operandi

what a wreck Troicki is. He really had 5-0?`I really missed something

GSM 7-5 6-0 6-0 murray

Absolutely unbelievable. If Murray wins this set he double bagels the last two.

yes, alas, this look more like it...

Now Viktor starts dropshotting :stupid: No offence Viktor, but Murray is going to own you if you keep doing that. Great backhand smash!! COME ON!

:lol: one of gods comical creations this troicki

Troicki needs to go for aces. He's taken something off the serve.

so much for an injured ankle fognini level theatrics

Ankles dont just heal like that. It just proves Mugray was faking an injury once again, which is his usual modus operandi
Stiffness can definitely heal like that. The ankle wasn't damaged when he rolled it.

Lol Troicki about to give up a 5-0 lead. Murray started horrendously though, should win comfortably from here.

Murray has MP

Troicki is a disgusting mug.

Troicki feeling he got rope a doped

big bp this one

Hilarious at the haters laughing at the injury and now coming out and saying he faked it. Hilarious. It was stiff, it wasn't damaged. Ankles can definitely heal over the course of a few games or a set. Anyway, if he faked risked, why would he risk going 5-0 down? :stupid:

lol @ murray screwing with troicki's mind

:lol: That miss describes this entire set: WTF

lol. Worst FH ever by Murray

Murray can choke too! Awful 2nd serve, yet survives

wow... serve was too slow

Ankles dont just heal like that. It just proves Mugray was faking an injury once again, which is his usual modus operandi

Familiar with painkillers? Is it also not beyond the realms of possibility he may have been a bit nervous at first, yet has loosened up as the match has gone on?

What a return :lol:

Troicki is a complete mongoloid :haha::haha::haha:

Troicki is a disgusting mug.
Not laughing anymore, are we? :haha:

Troicki does not deserve this set :lol:

BTW you guys really don't think Murray took some kind of pain killer before the match? Those do take time to kick in you know.

:lol: A decent dropper from Vik

Hilarious at the haters laughing at the injury and now coming out and saying he faked it. Hilarious. It was stiff, it wasn't damaged. Ankles can definitely heal over the course of a few games or a set. Anyway, if he faked risked, why would he risk going 5-0 down? :stupid:

Shut up already. Mugray is benefitting from the biggest choker on the tour. He's lucky he has such a mug draw, else he would go in round 2 like he deserves.

Lol Troicki can rest easy now, he won at least one point with the dropshot.

murray pretending to be injured between points lol

Set point for Vik

A broken racket and a warning :lol:

Terrible pass from Murray. Definitely loosened up. Next set should be good.

Troicki aint going win this match anyways, he flukes this set tho.

People saying injury was faked are idiots. Going down 0-5 to fool opponent?

At long last, Troicki has SP. Nice racquet smash, like that

an injured man doesn't run like that.

Troicki is a disgusting mug.

LOL, someone mad that Nadal actually has to work for his title? Yeah, they can't all be walks in the park like before.

dunno why muzz put on the droppa there

Shut up already. Mugray is benefitting from the biggest choker on the tour. He's lucky he has such a mug draw, else he would go in round 2 like he deserves.
So, you're scared for Nadal? He'll have to get past Soderling first to play Murray :wavey:

Viktor POWER 1-0 :worship: :bounce:

The 5-0 lead wasn't in vein for Vik. He gets the set

Well he claimed that set at the last possible time

cry scottish girl, cry.

an injured man doesn't run like that.
He's not an idiot, why would he risk being humiliated in a set, going down 5-0? :stupid:

BTW you guys really don't think Murray took some kind of pain killer before the match? Those do take time to kick in you know.

You'd expect a professional athlete to take one an appropriate time before the match to get the full benefits at an appropriate point in time.

Troicki does eventually take the set.

1st set - Viki! :sport:

got away with it. but it's murray's for the taking. he is the better player. it's a battle against his own nerves and demons

Such relief from Troicki, I can feel it here. The "cammon!" and scream following showed how much he wanted it

Murray can move decent again, bye bye Troicki :lol:

troicki going for the all-serbian final

Troicki is quite a good-looking guy actually.
Too bad his hotness doesn't translate to his tennis and mentality

It's obvious he isn't all right. When have you guys ever seen Murray ballbasing ?

So, you're scared for Nadal? He'll have to get past Soderling first to play Murray :wavey:

Mugray will have to get past Troicki first in order to play Nadal

6-4 :sport:

What a mental giant, this Troicki. Too good!

At last the Trchoker gets the set. Murray, stop being a little bitch and just play.

Fognini won the Oscar already.

cry scottish girl, cry.
He's definitely crying at winning 4 of the last 5 games :yeah:

anyways... murray will perform some serious ownage here directly... its not like he was playing as bad as nadal in that set

If he had dropped 5-0 to 6-6 or 5-7 he could have just left court and not gotten back on it. He is a top20 player after all :)

BTW you guys really don't think Murray took some kind of pain killer before the match? Those do take time to kick in you know.of course he did. not difficult to figure out it would take him a while to settle in the match.

Free set for Troicki while Murray got comfortable with his ankle. Let's see how this develops now.

LOL Victor can't even bagel an injured man :lol:

troicki playing with murray here :lol:

Mugray will have to get past Troicki first in order to play Nadal

6-4 :sport:
Nadal will have to get past Isner first...oh wait, he did, but barely :lol:

Murray in 4

somebody please stop shriekapova :o

Trollspindoctor in panic mode.

Relax, you won't have to watch Murray destroying Nadull. Soderling will get there first.

I guess Murray is injured again D_E? Yeah he must be.

Murray has achieved the goal of making this a mind game contest. Troicki needs to concentrate on his game only.

Troicki is the only player in the world who people could be right when they say he obviously has no chance up a set on an injured opponent

Andy has so much power, definitely more than Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. I really wish he would hit these massive groundstrokes a little more often, although his game is amazing the way it is.

Hope this match is a 5hour epic.

You'd expect a professional athlete to take one an appropriate time before the match to get the full benefits at an appropriate point in time.

Troicki does eventually take the set.

True but it's definitely well within reason he took something a little late or it took longer than expected to kick in. I bet he calls the trainer at some point too and might pop a pill or two.

Ahaha, guy with twisted ankle jumping and running faster than in previous matches, epic shit from Andrew right there.

Andy has so much power, definitely more than Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. I really wish he would hit these massive groundstrokes a little more often, although his game is amazing the way it is.

That's why he has no slams at almost 24 :haha::haha: and Nadal, Olderer and Djoke have 27 between them.

what angles by both. Good point

Andy has so much power, definitely more than Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. I really wish he would hit these massive groundstrokes a little more often, although his game is amazing the way it is.

:superlol: Dont kill me man, you to much

Murray holds, 0-1 1-0*

lol @ the Murray apologists. He obviously was trying to use his ankle as an excuse. Thought he could mug past like he did against Berrer. Got shellshocked and decided to play finally.

Had to keep up the theatrics in between though because who wants to get bageled by Troicki of all people. He didn't know Trchoker was going to tighten his ass cheeks and forget how to serve.

I like watching slightly injured but aggressive muzza :worship:

Fakeray obviously trying to prepare injury excuse for his exit at RG. NID. Not surprised, all that pressure from the media must be huge.

I guess Murray is injured again D_E? Yeah he must be.
Not "injured" really, but he had a stiff ankle, which takes time to loosen. I maybe exaggerated a bit, but his movement was definitely affected at the beginning, but now he's much better. Troicki deserves a set.

Andy has so much power, definitely more than Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. I really wish he would hit these massive groundstrokes a little more often, although his game is amazing the way it is.

:lol::lol:

Yeah, Federer and Djokovic are pushers compared to Mr.Agressive Mugray.


I hope Mugray wins, because at least he will stand up to Nadal in the semi (if Nadal beats Söderling) before losing, whereas Troicki will just bend over and take the punishment.

Love watching aggressive Murray.

Hope this match is a 5hour epic.
That's the only way Nadal can win these days, is it? Tired opponents? Poor Rafa :awww:

My god, that was awful off drop shot. 15 30

I also like this Murray. Just wondered how THIS murray could get 0-5 down. Players prepare many hours before the match

hopefully troicki will save tennis

That's the only way Nadal can win these days, is it? Tired opponents? Poor Rafa :awww:No, its bad opponents. Like Murray.

Murray on his way to the final.

Beautiful shot from Vik. Still don't get the hate.

yep, troicki can only hope to overpower him and go for the lines...

Wow, great rally, Troicki gets GP
