Title: Nadal vs Murray
Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on September 06, 2008, 02:12:02 PM
Interesting bet, Ladbrokes specials.

1st player to 10 points. 11/8 Murray.

Huge price, Nadal wins the toss, he always elects to receive. Murray wins the toss and he will serve first. Surely 11/8 is BIG?

Yup just started on the 2nd main court (Louis Armstrong) on Skysports1. 1-1 as speak.

Murray won his game to love so Rookies bet stands chance even though Nadal served first and held to 30.

Good luck to Andy when play resumes I just hope the break doesn't give Nadal the chance to re-group.

I think Nadal had regrouped, and Murray was not at the same level as he played in the first 2 sets - so this break could be just the thing for him.

That's what I told the Mrs as well...sure Nadal looks tired during this match but Murray is coming up with some shots that are astonishing.

Credit where it's due..he had Nadal where he wanted him in the first two sets.

Wife thinks it might have been 4-3 when rain stopped play (she was watching it more than I was).

It's bucketing down there ATM apparently...so won't re-start for a while, me thinks.

Great tennis though.

LOL.  Was thinking about the tribalism just a moment ago.  You can always find an arbitrary divide at some point.  Even Murray's brother could find a reason for wanting him to lose.

It's his to lose imo.

Wow, what an incredible match.

I am very happy to be comprehensively wrong when I said this:

i thought 10/11 for murry to go out in the semis before last nights match was an awesome price
This is a great price. As TCP posted above, he IS going to lose the semi final, so in effect you are getting 10/11 for an 8/13 bet.

Yesterday Nadal was poor imo and murray was at his best whereas today Nadal was playing at his best in parts and Murray still came through so very well done to him he has a great chance of winning this as he generally does well against Federer.


Title: Re: Nadal vs Murray

some awesome tennis and now Jankovic putting up a fight against Williams.

The 2nd to last point in the match Nadal/Murray was one the best rallys i've seen
Nadal was really sucking air at the end of it which takes some doing.

WD Andy Murray -one of the few players to have outmuscled Nadal in a long time.

Yes obv rusedski blew it , i mean with all the success british tennis players have had over the years  the audacity of him to JUST make a grand slam final  and not win it is quite shocking

Regardless of whether Murray wins the final or not, i think he has done himself very proud the last 2 weeks and this IMO will certainly not be his last appearance in a Slam final

What is he going to have to do for you to admit he's not too bad after all? If he wins tonight can he have a pat on the back?

They've corrected their earlier mistakes:-

I nearly found myself cheering for Murray last night. I mean a whole game without faking an injury, he really has improved.
Then i realised just what he was achieving. Beating the world number 1 and Olympic gold medalist and that reminded me of the Olympics.

I understand the grievances in the USA, when the sprinters left on the plane they were American, and after coming back empty handed they were African-American.
 
When was the last time English police beat the crap out of someone just because he was Scottish? No you can't get a college education, you can't have this job and we'll throw rocks at you as you leave (on the back of the bus). What do we have? The supermarket wouldn't take my Scottish fiver? Do me a f'kin favour.

Does anyone really care about whether Andy gets called a Brit or a Scot when he wins/loses? I for one am totally bored of that when it's in the context of a serious complaint.

I think his sartorial desicions are nothing more than a blatant "I've got great big lovely arms" brag.

Flaunting one's assests in such a manner is, imo, a little off-putting. Do you think it's metagame? Discuss.
