Whats this Bartoli done thats got people so annoyed with her?
They're 26, I doubt they will have more than two finals inbetween them before, just like federer/sampras/etc, a new player or two stands up and herald a new era.
Ill be amazed if independence is put through. 90% of people I know are all voting no. Don't want to get into too much about it in this thread though.
Murray isn't dour away from pro tennis. I've met him a few times, got a great sense of humour. I think he realises to be at his best he has to have a serious professional attitude whenever he is at a venue, just to help his mindset. Whenever he is coaching kids etc he is always laughing and joking around. He's always struck me as a regular guy, who just happens to be in demand for interviews and dislikes giving them. His coach Lendl has the same attitude apparently.
Aye it's not going to happen.
Gonna head down to city hall for this, they stick it up on big screens and it's well sunny.
Not fit enough.
Oh right. I thought they were being irrational for a minute.
Some parts of the media seems to have forgotten that Djokovic his the world number one.
and a strong favourite. He's a godlike tennis player. Sticking with my pre-tournament pick of murray as well though 
Spain are the number 1 team in the world and lost comprehensively to Brazil last week, so home advantage can play a big part. Murray is going to have close to 15,000 people cheering for him, and while that probably wont affect Djokovic's performance itself, it should give Murray a massive boost and maybe push him to get an even better performance
I would love Murray to win this, but listening to the media some have even got Djokivic going into the game as underdog.
Yeah, I wouldnt go that far with it. I think it'll be extremely close. On ability I definitely think Djokovic is slightly better, but the home crowd pushing Murray will make up that differential in ability
I agree with you on his personality. His problem is that he's not the type of person who is really a 'superstar' or would ever really be capable of being one. The likes of Nadal and Djokovic are the sort of guys who kind of have that look and attitude that suits being a worldwide famous sportsman, while Murray is just your average Scotsman.
He's obviously not a big fan of being in front of the camera as it's not his sort of thing and people used to misconstrue that as him being dour or moody. People have now realised that he's an average guy and people always say that off the court he's got a very dry sense of humour and is a really good person. I think people have really realised that since Wimbledon last year and have come to admire his modesty and normal guy nature.
As for the match, Djokovic is slight favourite and has arguably played better in the tournament but there's no reason why Murray can't win. Djokovic might be the better player but Murray is probably just as good on grass, and he knows he can beat Djokovic in a GS final as well.
Barker's gagging for McEnroe's cock
McEnroe must hate being stuck with Henman and Castle all the time.
Murray should be watching these montages with the Gladiator style music in the background before he goes out on court, no pressure Andy. 
Can't help but feel that Djok will be too strong but I'd love Murray to win. feck people who hate him just because he's reserved and isn't English.
Let's go Djoko!
Rooney's hair transplant worked well...
They were playing bloody Time by Hans Zimmer (Inception) in the background, just in case you didn't realise this was a big occasion.Murray should be watching these montages with the Gladiator style music in the background before he goes out on court, no pressure Andy.
How many were cheering on his brother to his doubles title a few years ago? He was a bit more likeable than Andy but also you had the tabloids hyping up what is a normal rivalry from another sport and transplanting it here. Some once a year tennis fans who listen to the wrong newspapers got precious about that.
Last year's final here, London 2012 and the US Open much improved his relationship with the general public though.
He really needs to give it up he looks like an absolute fool.Rooney's hair transplant worked well...
Yeah it sounded like Hanz Zimmer but i couldn't recall the name.
Ironic how Barker referred to the problem of pressure right after that.
Hans Zimmer music back
So are Murray and Djokovic in danger of being run over by a dream train?
He describes himself as "Scottish", first so, should he lose today, it will be a great day. Come on Djoko!!!!
"Salmond up there sitting next to David Cameron, useful lefty."
Come on Andy!!!
That's because he is Scottish first. No English person ever says they are British first.
Djoko was shitting the bed a bit there
I forgot how witty people can be when it falls quiet
Cmon Djoker!
This.
Actually, most English people do describe themselves as British first and it's only the Scotch and Welsh who clamber for some sort of national identity by describing themselves as Welsh or Scotch. Anyway, Andy Murray categorically said he is Scottish, not British in an interview in his early days. Since then he's whined about the press saying he's Scottish when he loses and British when he wins. As far as I am concerned he's a moaning Scotch wanker with a bad attitude and aptitude for choking on the big occasions. Come on Djoko.
I was wondering how long it would take, didn't take long did it?I forgot how witty people can be when it falls quiet
Who cares what Murray describes himself as? It's a childish mentality to want him to lose just because he claimed he was Scottish first (how dare he!)
Funny how the same standard of Britishness isn't applied to English people who claim English national identity before their British one.
Murray has never played down his British identity. Early on in his career the media tried to portray him as an anti-British/anti-English Scot, but because it is evidently not true, they seem to have given up and embraced him.
Crowd a little to pumped up.
Djokovic will fall to pieces with the crowd against him.
What I'm saying is he only wants people's support when it suits him. Not that that matters too much, I dislike Murray's bad attitude as a whole and distinct lack of introspect when assessing his losses.
