[tommykairaa]

[ohphishul]

damn murray isn't playing a around... First set 6-4... Murray starting to look tight in the tiebreaker... Crazy exciting finish in the tiebreak 1 set all... Just when I think fed is going to run away with it he gives up the break, and murray cruises through the set 6-3... Wow just when chances of winning starts to look bleek for rog. murray begins to choke badly!! Fed takes advantage of a tight murray in another tiebreak... Fed looked flat in the 5th set, murray disposes of him quickly 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-7 6-2

Dude, I kept the Tennis-tread in the Nike Forum updated with all the info... come on in!  I also posted pics of his GR's in here!

Indeed, but it was a bit of a strange match TBH. 

Looking at the stats, it was pretty Murray-sided...

So yeah, it looked like Murray was clearly the better player... and yet this match went 5. A good example of how winning the critical points made the difference... Fed won the tiebreak points 14-7... the 2 sets he won.  

Ultimately, Fed wasn't able to handle Andy's serve and baseline-play.  A few random errors early in the 5th sealed his fate.  

Should be a good final, but Djoker looks sooooo tough to beat. 

Team Murray

Keyser Söze

Cricketer Shane Warne

The Shark

I thought he already broke through and turned the corner in his career when he won the gold medal and the US Open. Unless you're referring to him beating Roger in a Slam.

Li Na would easily won this but didn't got the break! luck Vicka

 

[sircharles2ol3]

Didnt see the match, but glad to see my boo Vika take it. . Li Na is great though... glad to hear she brought the competition.

 

[Sinner]

Man, it was tough to watch. 

 Gotta give her a lot of credit for getting back up and toughing it out. Also nice to see how great of an attitude she has... for sure the fans appreciated that.
