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.
Why bother watching British tv then, match us also on TG4 – I’m sure you’re fluent
If Andy Murray wins, his mother Judy will swoop down onto court and regurgitate a dead mouse for him.
haha brilliant
Can’t stand Andy Murray, comes across as a right snob
Sickened!
Some match so far and i don’t even like tennis.
What’s the score now ?
One set all, i can see Federer wearing Murray down, has that extra bit of class but Murray has a lot of heart.
Yawn !
It’s a great match. Some fantastic tennis, exciting to watch.
