Into the 3rd set, and no grimaces of discomfort, from Murray.

Bloody hell, what an epic match is brewing on Sunday if Murray sees this out.

The Murray haters will be out in full though.

Murray lovers will be back under their rock, when R-Fed beats him in straight sets.

Obviously this is a masterclass from Tsonga then. Everyone else in the thread must be oblivious to it.

It's got absolutely nothing to do with Murray playing brilliantly then? Which he is. Give him some fucking credit you miserable sod!

Can you imagine what the BBC footage will be like during the build up to the final should Andy make it.

I remember a few years ago when they pulled out that Rudyard Kipling poem - If, as part of the build up to the final, i was almost violently ill at the pretentiousness of it all.

Indeed.

Murray has been very consistent with few unforced errors from Round 1. So focused and serving like a beast, thought it was Sampras out there!!!

And just as we praise him, he falls apart on his serve

Tsonga's playing as shit as all the teams we beat in Europe under Rafa...nothing to do with Murray playing well at all.

Tsonga breaks Murray though in the 3rd.

Awesome return of serve, from Tsonga.

Tjey have that painted by the doors as you go out to cenre court I think so you can see the logic behind it.

Hmm, can Murray step it up over this Tsonga revival?

Anywhichwayucan · « **Reply #1539 on:** July 6, 2012, 05:24:09 PM »

Amazing how awful Murray is, when Tsonga goes up a couple of gears.

I've given Murray plenty of credit in previous matches, unlike those who do nothing but complain about others being supposedly negative in this thread.

I'm sure even you've worked out by now that I'm not a Murray fan, so why should I spend every post giving him credit? Surely sometimes it can be implicit. Every other fucker on this thread has called Tsonga's play confusing, or inconsistent, or poor, or dire, so why are you having a go at me in particular?

I'm simply looking things from a Tsonga point of view, and he's hit plenty of errors so far (as did Djokovic earlier). Christ.

Fitzy. · « **Reply #1541 on:** July 6, 2012, 05:24:18 PM »

Tsonga back in. However, he's still not getting gimme points on his own serve. Murray pressuring all the time.

As the experts have pointed out, Tsonga's error-ridden game has a lot to do with the pressure Murray has put on him.

I hate the media wankfest over him.

I don't like or hate Andy.He's just boringly dull.Maybe he's different off camera but on,his interviews are painful.He must be a journalists nightmare and a cure for insomniacs out there.

Decent player though.I think it will be a good final Sunday.

Fair enough, it's powerful literature, but not one i'd like to associate with multi millionaire sportsmen + women. But i suppose they're trying to set a tone about standards of individuals that enter the tournament.

Still, the production and having a Spaniard that could barely pronounce some of the words let alone probably understand them was gut wrenching stuff!

And I haven't denied that. I'd also be a fool to pretend that Murray wasn't playing well, which is why I haven't criticised him once so far. I'm simply looking at it from Tsonga's point of view though, and he's played some awful shots at times. It's not as simple as Murray simply playing well and that's the end of it, he's not exactly Djokovic/Nadal/Federer.

...although it's funny how none of his injuries seem to bother him when he's winning. Very brave.

Because you're like a fucking broken record whenever Murray plays. It's never him playing well, it's ALWAYS his opponent playing shite according to you. I know you're not a Murray fan, that's 100% evident and you've only given him credit when you've been called out on it. You're a one track bore with your posts lad.

WelshMike · « **Reply #1556 on:** July 6, 2012, 05:29:28 PM »

Tsonga hits the net at 30-40 on a second serve. But still, amazing stuff from Murray obviously. Definitely not a mistake from Tsonga.

You realise that there are plenty of others in here who dislike Murray, or who think Tsonga isn't play well? I don't have to justify my opinions in every single post. I don't think you can find a single thing I've said today that's hinted at Murray not playing well, only that Tsogna hasn't brought his game so far (admittedly he's getting better, particularly in this set). Really, really bizarre posts, particularly the timing of it, by a couple of you. Does every single post have to be pros and cons of both players full of statistical analysis in essay form? As I've said, I'm simply looking at things from Tsonga's point of view. I look forward to you being consistent and entering every thread with 'give the opposition some fucking credit!' over the next 9 months of football though. I'm sure that'll happen.
