Wimbledon Day 10

First topic message reminder :

Now it's really business time.

The matches have been previewed a done the order of play is out. Federer will be relieved to be on Centre and hoping for rain and a covered court. Murray too, as both stand to benefit if they win and their opponents have to play Thursday. I have no idea what the forecast is though.

yes but isn't that one of the major issues with Murray? He does himself no favours with all the shouting and bitching. He just gives opponent more confidence and he has always had a severe lack of temperament. Hence why that slam is never coming.

But Murray has shots and movement to beat Ferrer. Sure Ferrer is a mega-runner and retriever, but Andy is just behind on every shot.

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:49 pm

You didnt need to take that approach did you Jahu.

Blimey i was having a laugh- you escalated it in to something else

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:50 pm

Servers paradise on Court 1.

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:51 pm

I can see this being a 5 setter in all fairness- murrays isnt gonna give em lightly

by **laverfan** Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:52 pm

Ferrer covering the court very nicely. Cool

Thanks, Jahu, MyStir. rose

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:53 pm

Murray serving to stay in the first set.

Court 1 we are still on serve. No BP's. TB all the way.

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:53 pm

Hmmm... Murray must force him to serve it out.

Ferrer has been known to feel the nerves closing a set out. Ferrer well in charge at the moment.

I keep thinking some day he'll realise (or someone like Lendl will force him to realise) that it's all so stupidly self-defeating. I can't be that hard for him to grasp! (even though apparently it is)

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:58 pm

ermm can he break at the death!!

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:59 pm

Tsonga had a sniff of a break and blew it.

by bogbrush Wed Jul 04, 2012 3:59 pm

Ferrer tightening up.......

by **laverfan** Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:01 pm

Beautiful inside-out FH from Ferrer.

by bogbrush Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:03 pm

God but Murray is doing some running.

by Guest Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:04 pm

Come on Andy!!!

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:04 pm

go murray.... Crying or Very sad

by Seifer Almasy Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:04 pm

All that was Ferrer... against poxy defence. Dear lord, how slow have they made these courts?

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:04 pm

Those last 2 points are just different class.

Awesome play. Break back.

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:06 pm

so hodgson is there is he.. I wonder if he is supporting murray!!

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:07 pm

what a shot by murray- fkkk, he is actually quite good isnt he!

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:15 pm

That's a big hold from Ferrer. Murray had him in the ropes but then backed off.

Can't wait for errors off Ferrer. Gotta take it to him. He got to defensive at 0-30. Hoped Ferrer would lose it rather than him winning it.

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:17 pm

Big tie break this.

If Murray wins it should settle him down. If Ferrer wins then he's in for a tough afternoon.

I think the winner of this tie break wins the match.

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:18 pm

ferrer is getting schooled

by Seifer Almasy Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:20 pm

WHAT A SHOT FERRER!

by bogbrush Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:21 pm

72 mph 2nd serve landing about 4 ft up the box.

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:22 pm

Oh dear. Come on Murray. Up it now.

Yup schooled in the art of losing a set haha I mean seriously, all you get from Andy is defend defend defend. It is crap and it won't win you slams.

by Josiah Maiestas Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:28 pm

get in theeerrrreeeee!

VIVA ESPANA!

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:29 pm

Murray turned round the set, but backed off. Then turned round the tie break and backed off!

Both players got tight, but Murray was tighter.

Tough task now. Come on Andy.

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:31 pm

Stop with the drop shots!!!

Ferrer isn't Karlovic!!

What's the score in the other match btw, anyone know?

by Josiah Maiestas Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:35 pm

Without sounding too pessimistic for Murray I don't think theres anything he can improve on with his limitations...

its all whether Ferrer gets tight and gifts a few breaks.

Maybe - but Murray knows how to be more aggressive and can be more aggressive - but too often he doesn't do it. Does he choose not to, or is his brain just wired that way and he can't overcome it?

Considering he just served 51% on first serve in that set and normally achieves much higher that is one obvious way he can improve for you.

murray is missing his chances

Thanks BB. Very tight then.

Aaargh was in a meeting, what's happening?

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:42 pm

Murray looks a little less tense now. Which is very good news.

I feel a lot more confident with Murray when he starts to look relaxed.

by mystiroakey Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:45 pm

murray loves a chop doesnt he!

by reckoner Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:52 pm

Shame Murray dropped the first set, but looks like he's on a charge from 2-5 down in the first, I just hope they're still playing by the time I get home!

by Josiah Maiestas Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:57 pm

hawkeye will be grinning I imagine.

by **JuliusHMarx** Wed Jul 04, 2012 4:58 pm

Kohli levels at 1 set all

I've been saying Tsonga in final for a while... and Fed can make it.

by Danny_1982 Wed Jul 04, 2012 5:00 pm

Phew... Wonder how important that service hold will end up?

This is shredding my nerves. Murray looks fatigued.

no way... he's having a blinder of a tournament.

Is it me or does Murray look knackered?

It is his own fault for the type of game play he has... and in the end it will come unstuck... esp now we are at the business end. I agree he looks knackered...

I will be surprised if Murray wins.
