@ the seagulls disturbing the point!!!

 

[_Ed_]

Some bloody epic rallies in this match.

 

[Jono]

Murray always looks hurt IMO. He may be sore in his quad but they always say it with his hip and ****, and he then just goes on to win.

 

[Jono]

Wow @ how **** Ferrer's tiebreak record is in Grand Slams!

 

[Dydl]

Can Murray finally hold after breaking?

 

[Jono]

See Murray is final you silly commentators.

See Murray is final you silly commentators.

fine?

Ferrer isn't even putting up a fight in this set.

 

[_Ed_]

Ferrer's looking lost now. Hope he can turn it around.

 

[Jono]

fine?

Ferrer isn't even putting up a fight in this set.

Yeah meant fine.

Disagree re: not putting up a fight. At 5-1 down he still made Murray have to fight off break points, with 5-6 deuces.

He's just being beaten by the better player.

 

[Jono]

If Murray gives Ferrer back a break here this could be brutal.

 

[Jono]

Murray you better be damn careful here. You get casual and Ferrer will send you packing.

Hope this goes to 5, been a while since the last late-stage Aus Open 5 hour epic

 

[_Ed_]

Djokovic will be loving this.

 

[Jono]

How good was that shot from Murray! Flicked it behind himself!

 

[_Ed_]

This is seriously tense.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, Ferrer has completely won the crowd over. They're chanting his name aws.

 

[Jono]

Reminds me of the crowd chanting "Davydenko" against Nadal a few years ago.

 

[Jono]

ftr, I never said he wouldn't, I said it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't. It's impossible to count out a champion.

A very interesting time for men's & women's tennis as I don't think there's a clear #1.

The guy that won the last 3 Grand Slams, and that fairly comfortably, is the #1 of the men's game tbh.

 

[Spark]

Grats to Murray, clearly the better player. Such a good player to watch when on song.

Fair play to Andrew. When Ferrer had a point for a two set lead I feared the worst, but he just about held it together.

Nice to see Ferrer play a few volleys too. Last thing tennis needs is Hispanic scuttlers, so kudos.
