It was on Eurosport 2, although the TV guide was suggesting biathlon or something instead as the match went well beyond their anticipated finish time.What channel was it on? I put Eurosport on as they normally show it and they didn’t have it on.

Never mind Dunblane. Think he might be one of the very best from the UK and there is no question that he’s the best ever tennis player from this island.Got to be up there with the best sportsman to ever come from dunblane.
Yeah 100%. You think he played for 6 hours today, that’s just mental. To be still doing that at his age is testiment to him and his career.Never mind Dunblane. Think he might be one of the very best from the UK and there is no question that he’s the best ever tennis player from this island.

That’s 4 football matches one after the other. Footballers are tired if they play 3 games a week!!!Yeah 100%. You think he played for 6 hours today, that’s just mental. To be still doing that at his age is testiment to him and his career.

Murray got some balls on him, many would have just given up and worked on TV, the hip replacement should have finished him and even just playing for fun would have been hard with the pain and lack of movement.

I thought he was finished in the 3rd set. Boy did he prove me wrong. That's the 11th time he has come from 2 sets down. The Australian commentator said 99% of players only do it once or twice in their career.
Total respect for him after watching that today.

If we could find 11 players with the same strength and desire as this lad,we'd never lose a game again.
I think he's one of the greatest ever sportsmen.

Totally agree, and one of the most underrated. Just never seems to have got the credit he deserves.If we could find 11 players with the same strength and desire as this lad,we'd never lose a game again.

More to do with his Nationality and his comments i suspect.He was also hugely unlucky to be playing in an era that produced the best players the game has ever seen.
I first saw Andy when he was a teenager. It was obvious then that he had something special. Nearly twenty years later, he’s still got it.Murray got some balls on him, many would have just given up and worked on TV, the hip replacement should have finished him and even just playing for fun would have been hard with the pain and lack of movement.

For anyone that doesn’t like him watch the documentary resurfacing it’s amazing.
He is rightly Sir Andy
It’s just a shame injury robbed him as he could’ve and probably deserved 2 or 3 more slams

Where do so stand I’m not sure I could decide -
Murray for the Australian open title or
City for the Champions League
Probably Murray City will win it sooner or later

I’ve always liked Murray. Great tennis player and had the weight of winning Wimbledon on him for so long. Has got some minerals this chap.
Never understood that hate he generates in some quarters. Possibly due to when he was about 19 making some comment about wanting whoever was playing England he wanted them to win.
He’s had a career ending injury and fought on. He was there at dunblane and that horrific day and has never sought To use it as any excuse for anything.
Top top top bloke who I wish nothing but success and happiness for.

He's got Agut next
that's a big ask
Agut has beaten him last 3 times, twice last year and at Doha open 6-0/6-1

yeah, big ask going again in a short space of time, but maybe he is pain free and fully fit, so let's hope he can recover and go again, one thing is he will fight tooth and nail to try and win
