    If lots of Bulgarian men look like Dmitrov then I have no problem with them "flooding" the UK. In fact I'd happily swap them for Andy.

    Agreed. :D

    Him being with Sharapova just makes me resent her and dislike her more than I already did. :p

    Shocking miss. Dimitrov should put his foot down now and take advantage of this.

    A little lull allows Murray back in, Grigor needs this set IMO. He's been excellent so far though, hope it continues.

    He's misfiring, but just needs to hang in there. He'll gradually play his way into the match I'm sure.

    Still going for an Andy win. It's just going to be one of those painful matches; we haven't had one of those in a while.

    I agree, and it was at this stage last year that he went 2 sets down to Verdasco and managed to come back and win

    Agreed. It could all unravel pretty quickly if he begins to slip.

    I always wonder how many of the crowd are Murray fans - or more so 'Britain' fans - than they are tennis fans.

    Maybe he ate some tainted Sugarpova.

    I don't think Dimitrov will sustain this early high level for a full 5 sets.

    With the sugar and E-number content in those, he would be more likely to be running around the back of the court and swinging like a hyper child.

    Dimitov game style is a lot like Federer's.

    I don't know how anyone could be an objective 'fan' of Murray's style of tennis. It's grim. I guess I can appreciate people wanting him to win from a 'British winner' perspective but surely not because of how he plays.

    Haha. Yeah. :D

    She's certainly lucky there, with her grunting she must terrify the poor lad.

    Dimitrov hasn't done anything that outrageous though. He's just playing his game.

    Yeah, he's played some nice stuff but he's hardly blowing him off the court with mega winners. Back against the wall here though.
