Murray showed great mental and physical strength to come back from 2 down (again) and hopefully it hasn't taken too much out of him.
Going to be tough fighting the big serve of Janowicz and also the hard ground stroke but still back Murray.
I wonder how fit Del Potro will against Novak but fair play to him for coming through today despite the injury.

What's happening tomorrow?
Novak Djokovic bt Tomas Berdych
Umpire - Carlos Ramos
Juan Martin del Potro bt David Ferrer
Umpire - Carlos Bernardes
Jerzy Janowicz bt Lukas Kubot
Umpire - Enric Molina
Andy Murray bt Fernando Verdasco
Umpire - Pascal Maria
That leaves James Keothavong, Mohammed Lahyani and Jake Garner for the semis and the final. Think Jake Garner will get the final
Tomorrow is the ladies semis
Sabine Lisicki v Agnieska Radwanska
Predicted umpire - Alison Hughes
Marian Bartoli v Kirsten Flipkens
Predicted umpire - Mariana Alves
In the name all that is holy and the supreme being please let Eva Asderaki have the ladies final. She has never had the final - and both Alves and Hughes have done the womens final - Hughes I think on three occasions
That is sweet of Andy!
That was nice of Andy, but it really was one of the worst questions I've ever heard!
Reading this makes my comments from the previous thread seem all the more prescient;
Completely mystified at some people's reactions to Murray limping over the line today in most the dismal fashion possible, more still to their triumphalism over this mean feat. It's like cheering on Mike Tyson against a little girl in a wheelchair.
The real action happens tomorrow in the Bartoli game. Totally amazed at her tenacity in the last match (particularly as she was playing in an atmosphere not dissimilar to a Black Panther rally). I'm sure she'll show equal heart and spirit tomorrow despite the goons in attendance.
If you are looking for a somebody who embodies the attributes of a REAL British hero you'll do far better with her than Average Andy.
Troll.
Tough call, can see both matches swinging either way, I've always liked Lisicki's game from back when she burst on the scene so I will have a slight preference for her to do it
- is not synonymous with "somebody who has a different opinion to my own".
If you disagree with what I said, feel free to engage me in social intercourse and we can discuss it, I promise I won't bite :cool:.
You are called a troll because you are trying to claim a French woman is a British hero and Andy who has won a GS title and actually is British is not a hero :rolleyes:. You are not looking for a discussion just some attention.
Took a long time to wade through 60 pages and the users who were moaning purely because they'd had a bet on Andy are mugs. Of the highest order. :sleep:
Randomguy - are you on MTF? Swear I've seen that username around somewhere.
Talking to Gary is like playing a sixth set. Nice of Muzza to call off the hounds saying he had a bad day but he seems to have several of those - opens mouth before he engages brain. He is a stain on the BBC's coverage.
No im not on MTF I used to be but not under this name. This name is quite common around the internet but none of those are me
No, I said, and I quote, Bartoli "embodies the attributes" of a quintessentially British hero - namely tenacity, modesty, and a steely determination to succeed in the face of an overwhelming negative atmosphere and that I'd very much like to see more of these qualities in Murray, and do note these are very much separate from title wins and seed rankings.
I've made a massive mistake I should never have placed £250 on Murray at 2/1. I'm totally ****ed!
PS4 pre-order is going to have to be cancelled as are the nightly trips to the pub if Murray doesn't do the business.
WTF was I thinking I'm so angry with myself and Murray. :mad::mad:
Agree with your post in the old thread about JJ - he is far more than a servebot (Isner/Raonic/Querrey), he has several weapons...huge flat groundies (esp the CC FH), moves well for his height, reliable and accurate dropshots.
He deserves the vitriol. I detest Geoff Shreeves doing the leading, tabloidy post-match footy interviews on Sky but I've never wanted to punch the screen when he's on.
No I inferred from your post that Andy embodies the attributes of a British hero less than a French woman with by far a worse GS and career record than Andy.
I must have missed the part of my schooling that included which attributes made me British :rolleyes:.
Surely if you made a bet like that, you must have plenty of money to spare.
Oh diddums
I wonder about that too. I'm sure he would celebrate much more than at the US Open, and he'd probably be emotional too, what with Wimbledon being the one thing he's always wanted to win more than anything (as we saw from him after the final last year).
I've also been wondering how Sabine Lisicki would react if she wins Wimbledon. Given how emotional she gets after beating top players, like Serena the other day, can you imagine how she would react if she wins the title?! :eek:
I need to prepare myself..
