Wimbledon Day 6

First topic message reminder :

Well, the result just in means that Wimbledon isn't cancelled in the bogbrush home.

So let's have a thread.

Andy and Rafa take the stage tomorrow. Oh wait.........

Andy decides to reveal his Achilles heel when he should has consolidated the break.

"that fall maybe unsettled him" after a dismal double fault.

Can this commentary get any worse?

Baghdatis ready to exchange Xmas presents...

I'm just asking, if Murray won Wimbledon would it be always remembered as 'he only won because the draw opened up for him and Nadal got knocked out early'?

Cilic break point.......

Just wht I thought BB...this isn't commentary, it's filler.

And Baggy with the weight of Santa around his belly, decides to give too.

I wonder if this match finishes before 10 whether cillic and querrey would moved to CC. That's what my logic would say.

Please Andy, please stop cheering your opponents unforced errors. I want to see you do better than that.

I am begging for Castle right now.

allo all- my first tennis post on V2-

Why does murray hit the ball like a girl?- the rest on em crush it!

This Xmas morning around the tree is ongoing...

It really is that bad.

I think a bradnam 'wwww - oooow, ... ' on a most average shot would go down peachy for me at this time...

You would think he is just gonna knacker himself out playing this baseline slice stuff all the time and playing for errors from the opponenet rather than winning shots

I say bring on The Reed.

This is the worst game of he match. Compounded by Bradnam.

Bring on the Reed and Greg with Croft.

murray missed a shot there- did that game just take 30 mins

I haven't heard from the Fleming. Is he with the BBC thus year?

Lurch and Cilic-Bang headed for Xmas at this rate.

That FH was as limp as a Saturday night erection!

Another BP.

So much for the match being in the bag eh

murray's habitual 'periodical brain fart' has just given him an extra hour on court. This set should've been nailed with the double break about 20mins ago.
Sometimes I feel he isn't learning anything - some really annoying signs of the old Murray on show.

Also find it so telling that Bradnam was clearly fascinated by the worst game of the set, if not the whole first week. He's too familiar with the womens game methinks...

Don't think so LK. I like his sardonic humour.
Chris Badman is appalling...his brand of generic commentary requires no knowledge of the sport and consists of commenting on knitting and 75 yr old sports stars.

Meanwhile, Murray pecks Baggy under the mistletoe and hands over his service.

Murrays gone..

Baggy where art thou been since 2006?

Baggy stepping it up.

Andy you need to start taking incentive earlier in the rallies.

BB Murray needs mouth to mouth. Get on court

Great volley...whilst Muurray complains every part of his body hurts...

Murray keeps diving.

Injury roll call time........

Brilliant stuff from Baggy in this set.

He's doing all the pressing.

Is Virginia in his box?

Did I hear right Andy only has 1 ligament in the ankle???

And a separated knee cap too.
It's a wonder the guy can walk let alone be top 4 for e past 3-4 years...

Murray lucky he won thee 1st set, Baghdatis taking it 2 him.

Murray hitting it much harder this game- hopefully he will stick to that next set. his pouncing about isnt working today

And Mac replied: "where did the other two go?"

Oh dear Tim

Cilic serving for the match

I have enjoyed how Baggy has managed to up his levels and take hold of this 2nd set. Yes Murray has helped the cause, but Baggy has been a lot more solid in the rallies.

GSM Cilic

Baggy

Time for a 45 minute momentum break.

Thank goodness Lurch is out...he's almost as boring as Granola on clay

But... He has such charisma?!!

Tracy Austin looking more like a young Joan Rivers these days.

Hopefully Lendl gives Murray a few slaps upside the head during the break...

Charisma bypass I think BB.

Murray needed this break in play. He'd talked himself out of a routine win. He since his fall he has lost confidence in his movement, and I always fear for him when that happens.

Hopefully this break will bring a new Murray. He seems to have no belief in his groundies or going for the serve.

This is why they need to start play at 11:30 - 12 not 1pm

In fairness Danny when he got the break in the 2nd he didn't build on it like he did the 1st. The drop in aggression was not what he needed.

LK - let's just hope this break allows him to start over and get back to his best.

Actually, I don't care if he gets back to his best... Just that he gets through.
