Murray confirms his place as one of the greats of the modern game
Well done Andy.
What a summer for British sport.

Classless? Have you heard his post match speeches? If anything he's always had more class than his opponents by acknowledging their efforts even before his own.And I'm glad classless Novak lost.
Yes and no. There were nearly five hours play and there were great rallies as well. The first three hours were clearly affected by the wind. And the way Djokovic was handling the wind was weird and disappointing. But you are right with the unimpressive depth and width. That was a factor which was obvious. And disappointing.I'll start with congratulations Andy Murray.
That final was absolutely dire, though IMO.
Endless baseline rallies, with unimpressive depth and width throughout. Occasionally Murray's BH had good depth but that was pretty much it, as well as some clutch serving. Most times either went for a line, they missed but about a metre. Just rally after rally of ground strokes up the middle, bouncing around the service line until someone missed. Unable to generate any real pace, either of them. Unimpressed.
But congrats, Andy.
Again, like the women's final. The quality of play was not good.dire or classic the drama was still very high. The conditions were not ideal.
Yes, it would have been a "trauma" when Murray lost this after 2-0 sets. It's very important for win to finally win a Slam.congratulations andy! a well deserved and well overdue slam.
haters gonna hate...
although i am sad for novak, i am glad that murray stopped his run of slamless finals. would be too cruel and might even damage him for the future.
as for novak, tough luck. not that good in the first two sets and then ran out of gas in the dedider. as always, classy when congratulating his opponent. haters gonna hate, of course...
kinda worried about future grand slams, this one was really boring. so far these two produced two crap finals, one under decent conditions. once fed rides into sunset, if there is no rafa around, they have to speed up the courts. this was too slow.
In some rallies it looked like Djokovic do not want to play under this conditions. The timing was not there.Well, I'm by no means a Murray supporter, but he certainly deserved that one. Djokovic played awfully, whether it was because of the wind or not is irrelevant, Murray was in the same conditions.
Also, did not like that MTO much. Right before Andy served for the set... Reallly looks like Nole was hoping to make him feel the pressure to serve for his first Grand Slam and make him choke.
To those who will inevitably blame this on bad scheduling... When you see how badly Nole plays in the wind, there's every reason to think that he was saved by the scheduling against Ferrer. The way Nole played today in the first two sets shows that it was no incident, he just cannot cope with the wind.
So sure, he had to play yesterday because of the interruption. But he played only 3 sets, and Ferrer, who was obviously not in as great a shape as the day before, did not give him much of an opposition - as much as it pains me to admit it.
Really, I don't think there's much to be said about today's result, except that Nole needs to learn how to play when it's windy... And that he also played rather badly even when it was less windy.
So Andy gets his first Slam title, a lot of haters are going to have to find a new way to make fun of him.
It was very defensive, affected by the wind.:haha: Hilariously bad final, but Murray did what he needed to in the 5th. I'm glad he finally got his first slam. He's also responsible for my winning $10 in the office pool, so I will forever cherish this win.
I'm one of the nicest members on this forum. I really just need to see that gif image. It will make my day. Seriously, I need a good laugh so it pains me that I don't know where it is. If you know where it is, please post it. Thanks.EddceLLent said:I'm sure now that you're getting angry people are definitely going to start listening
