Nada's unforced error count in the last 3 sets is unbelievable. How is it even possible to have so few.

Anway we have the final with the two best players in the world going at it. Should be awesome :)

This is going to take some turning around now, isn't it. Doubtless Murray will be slaughtered by some folks, but Nadal really is extraordinary.

Yeah really he lost to the better player. He needs to improve on a few aspects but on the whole, Nadal is superior and Murray shouldn't be crucified for losing.

Does probably need to get more mentally tough, but how does one "do" that is impossible to tell. He should ask Novak I guess.

No he doesn't deserve slaughtering, but it's the British way. He got way too much hype, when, in the end, this was always when his tournament was going to end, now they'll have to justify that by slaughtering him, "just another loser". My fave non-story was how people were buying tickets at £100,000, to see Murray on Sunday. I must admit I checked to see if he'd entered the Mixed Doubles at that point.

Of course one day they may realize that hyping people like this, really decreases their chance of success, because no matter who they play, they still never go in as true underdogs. Yet I guess there's as much chance of that happening, as me getting a threesome with Wozniacki and Julia Georges.

They are ***y!

Meanwhile who the hell would want to pay £100,000 to see Murray lose to Djokovic?

Haha, the doubles match suspended for the day at 5-5 in the third. The suspense!

And now they've bumped it off to Court 12 tomorrow, so we won't see the end of it on TV. :(

Jono, someone who's a Murray fan would pay it though is agree it's silly. Be like buying a season ticket as a Richmond fan.

So it's 1 v 2 and the contrived, arse picking Euro Trash of Nadal with that appalling sneer and ridiculous haircut up against arguably the least likable major sportsman since Sonny Liston. Though tbf Liston's entourage was was more likable than Djokovic's.

Arse picker vs Arsehole.

Shan't be watching. If I want to watch poor hygiene I'll switch over and watch the England cricket team.

Thats because Tomic went in with no fear and nothing to lose.

You just need to watch the Australian Open final this year to see Murrays' mindset when playing Slam finals.

Multiply that by 50 in a Wimbledon final with the media and fans' expecations.

his arse-picking is irritating but euro trash?! i don't particularly enjoy his style of play but all said and done he is a great champion isn't he?:)

and i have never understood why djokovic is that unlikable...? is it the way he mimics the other players or something?

Yeah people in Australia base their opinion of Novak on that first Aus Open he won a couple of years back where he was a bit frazzled in the final. It's a stunning misconception because he seems like such a good bloke. Just people who don't really follow tennis based their opinion on that one match.

I dislike him because of the ball bounce and his hissyfit that he threw in the Davis Cup a few years back. Plus his poodle has a Twitter feed, ffs.
