    Had to lol at Sky referring to Andy Murray as a Brit when he won the set. He’ll be back to being the Scot if federer wins.

    If Andy Murray wins, his mother Judy will swoop down onto court and regurgitate a dead mouse for him.

    One set all, i can see Federer wearing Murray down, has that extra bit of class but Murray has a lot of heart.
