chewbacca 8 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Edit by Jadams, 09/09, 6.30pm Links for tonight's match are here: http://www2.myp2p.eu/competition.php?compe...scipline=tennis Sopcast and TVU will require a download of the named program. The Media player links just use Window Media Player. ============================= I was just looking at the latest info as I never knew the other Quarter-final results. The Semis are below Rafael Nadal (1) vs Andy Murray (6) & Novak Djokovic (3) vs Rodger Federer (2) I just cannot believe Andy is right up there with the big guns, its amazing! At the US Open a Scotsman is two matches away from winning it. The three best tennis players in the world today and Andy Murray are all that are left. Someone mentioned because of Murrays success so far he is now moving to fourth place in the World rankings. I've followed tennis most of my life and if someone told me there would be a bloody Scotsman as number four in the World rankings I'd have laughed and insulted that persons intelligence. The other three competitors are literally amazing tennis players on their day and to have a fellow Scotsman matching them and forcing his way into the ranking of fourth best male tennis player alive and playing is such a wonderful achievement. Very very well done Andrew Murray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayWestFree 107 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I thought it was 4pm tomorrow? I'm gutted i'm missing both the Scotland game and this as I have golf competition in Largs. Hope Murray breaks his duck against Nadel. Highly unlikely but I can hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very very well done Andrew Murray He's not up there with the big guns, he IS a big gun now. He moved up to 4th thanks to that result in the quarter from what I understand. I'm amazed at his improvement in only 2 or 3 months. It's as if the tonking he got from Nadal was the catalyst - a couple of months later he won a masters. Murray is in the form of his life and from being a nearly man has every chance of actually winning this tournament. He is playing Nadal at the right time.

He'll be a a big gun once he wins a major. And he will. But untill that time he is still 2nd division. Just like Monty at golf. he can compete with the big guns but can't beat em.

Just like Monty at golf. he can compete with the big guns but can't beat em. he's already beaten two of the 3 big guns. I guess to get to the very top level he has to beat Nadal at some point and no better time like today I think. you can still be a big gun without winning a major, but you would have to consistantly go deep into the tournament and threaten to win them regularly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca 8 Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm just deflated after that Scotland match. Awk Christ almighty!!!!!!!!! I just realised Murray always watches the Scotland matches when he can doesn't he??? If he watched that and feels how I feel he's gonna get pumped lol Hopefully he was professional and was out on the training courts for the last two hours.
