Wimbledon Day 6

by bogbrush Fri 29 Jun 2012 - 21:21

First topic message reminder :

Well, the result just in means that Wimbledon isn't cancelled in the bogbrush home.

So let's have a thread.

Andy and Rafa take the stage tomorrow. Oh wait.........

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:36

Andy decides to reveal his Achilles heel when he should has consolidated the break.

by bogbrush Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:36

"that fall maybe unsettled him" after a dismal double fault.

Can this commentary get any worse?

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:37

Baghdatis ready to exchange Xmas presents...

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:38

I'm just asking, if Murray won Wimbledon would it be always remembered as 'he only won because the draw opened up for him and Nadal got knocked out early'?

Cilic break point.......

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:38

Just wht I thought BB...this isn't commentary, it's filler.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:40

And Baggy with the weight of Santa around his belly, decides to give too.

I wonder if this match finishes before 10 whether cillic and querrey would moved to CC. That's what my logic would say.

by bogbrush Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:40

Please Andy, please stop cheering your opponents unforced errors. I want to see you do better than that.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:41

I am begging for Castle right now.

by mystiroakey Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:41

allo all- my first tennis post on V2-

Why does murray hit the ball like a girl?- the rest on em crush it!

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:41

This Xmas morning around the tree is ongoing...

It really is that bad.

by beeman Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:42

I think a bradnam 'wwww - oooow, ... ' on a most average shot would go down peachy for me at this time...

by mystiroakey Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:43

You would think he is just gonna knacker himself out playing this baseline slice stuff all the time and playing for errors from the opponenet rather than winning shots

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:44

I say bring on The Reed.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:44

This is the worst game of he match. Compounded by Bradnam.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:45

Bring on the Reed and Greg with Croft.

by mystiroakey Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:46

murray missed a shot there- did that game just take 30 mins

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:46

I haven't heard from the Fleming. Is he with the BBC thus year?

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:48

Lurch and Cilic-Bang headed for Xmas at this rate.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:48

That FH was as limp as a Saturday night erection!

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:51

Another BP.

So much for the match being in the bag eh Rolling Eyes

by beeman Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:51

murray's habitual 'periodical brain fart' has just given him an extra hour on court. This set should've been nailed with the double break about 20mins ago.
Sometimes I feel he isn't learning anything - some really annoying signs of the old Murray on show.

Also find it so telling that Bradnam was clearly fascinated by the worst game of the set, if not the whole first week. He's too familiar with the womens game methinks...

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:51

Don't think so LK. I like his sardonic humour.
Chris Badman is appalling...his brand of generic commentary requires no knowledge of the sport and consists of commenting on knitting and 75 yr old sports stars.

Meanwhile, Murray pecks Baggy under the mistletoe and hands over his service.

by mystiroakey Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:53

Murrays gone..

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:54

Baggy where art thou been since 2006?

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:54

Baggy stepping it up.

Andy you need to start taking incentive earlier in the rallies.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:55

BB Murray needs mouth to mouth. Get on court Laugh

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:55

Great volley...whilst Muurray complains every part of his body hurts...

by Sport Junkie Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:56

Murray keeps diving.

by bogbrush Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:57

Injury roll call time........

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:57

Brilliant stuff from Baggy in this set.

He's doing all the pressing.

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:57

Is Virginia in his box?

Did I hear right Andy only has 1 ligament in the ankle???

by bogbrush Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 20:58

And a separated knee cap too.
It's a wonder the guy can walk let alone be top 4 for e past 3-4 years... Rolling Eyes

by Sport Junkie Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:00

Murray lucky he won thee 1st set, Baghdatis taking it 2 him.

by mystiroakey Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:00

Murray hitting it much harder this game- hopefully he will stick to that next set. his pouncing about isnt working today

And Mac replied: "where did the other two go?" Laugh

Oh dear Tim

by bogbrush Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:00

Cilic serving for the match

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:01

I have enjoyed how Baggy has managed to up his levels and take hold of this 2nd set. Yes Murray has helped the cause, but Baggy has been a lot more solid in the rallies.

by bogbrush Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:03

GSM Cilic

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:05

Baggy

Time for a 45 minute momentum break.

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:06

Thank goodness Lurch is out...he's almost as boring as Granola on clay Tumbleweed

But... He has such charisma?!!

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:07

Tracy Austin looking more like a young Joan Rivers these days.

by beeman Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:09

Hopefully Lendl gives Murray a few slaps upside the head during the break...

by lydian Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:13

Charisma bypass I think BB.

by Danny_1982 Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:16

Murray needed this break in play. He'd talked himself out of a routine win. He since his fall he has lost confidence in his movement, and I always fear for him when that happens.

Hopefully this break will bring a new Murray. He seems to have no belief in his groundies or going for the serve.

by paulscholes Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:22

This is why they need to start play at 11:30 - 12 not 1pm

by Guest Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:26

In fairness Danny when he got the break in the 2nd he didn't build on it like he did the 1st. The drop in aggression was not what he needed.

by Danny_1982 Sat 30 Jun 2012 - 21:29

LK - let's just hope this break allows him to start over and get back to his best.

Actually, I don't care if he gets back to his best... Just that he gets through.
