Rome Masters 2016

First topic message reminder :

What a draw!

http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/scores/current/rome/416/draws

Andy yet to concede a point in two service games.

Novak took 11 minutes to get out of his service game. Already looking irritated.

Novak been incredibly irritable all week. Is the RG pressure really starting to hit him?

Well well... Novak gets broken, throws his raquet on the ground, and it spins onto a spectator in the stands!
A warning, but that frankly was probably a default

Djokovic with a court violation for smacking his racquet about after only 4 games.

He annoys me when he's like this.

Murray looking pretty sharp though.

Good point. Lucky it was only a warning.

This will be a tremendous boost for Murray if he can win this. I am sure he remembers the tight match he had with Djokovic last year at Roland Garros and the fact Djokovic hasn't beaten him on Grass. That said I think Djokovic is over stretching himself with his efforts at the Masters.

5-2!

Come on Andy keep your head and let him lose his...,

Murray serving below 40% first serves in, and yet looks rock solid on serve so far. How's that for evidence of an improved second serve?

1st set Muzza, and were likely taking a rain break with that

Easiest set that Andy has taken off Novak for years.

Andy is playing whoever is across the net to him HM
That applies to Novak too

Was his 1st serve % really that low...

it didnt feel like it

It would be nice to have a "rivalry" between Djokovic and Murray

Still playing, but the clay is starting to get sticky. Both guys struggling to move properly, and novaks ankle looks a bit sore

No wonder Novak is niggly though, he must be knackered mentally and physically.

Hmmm well he can only blame himself for not being more clinical against the likes of Stephane Robert and Thomas Bellucci and adding an extra two hours alone to his court time. In any case in this clay court season I'd say he maybe has played less matches than Murray.

His is no more than a victim of his own success.
It has to happen at sometime unless he is a machine
But let us not forget that Andy is giving his all ... if this should go to a third set then Novak I would think will be on the wire.

As opposed to facing Nadal and Nishi back to back? Easy for a mental midget like Murray facing a collection of stiffs enroute to the final.

I would have felt better about that comment CC had it had a

It flashed up at 36% during his penultimate service game of the first set. No idea what it finished at.

I can't remember the last time I saw Novak this tense. Looks like he's about to blow at any minute.

Which one?

He was not responsible for the draw.. just more fortunate

Calling your boy a mental midget what else?? I thought your comment was meant to have just a smidgen of irony

Like I pointed out earlier - Murray has nothing to prove if you look at the tough draw he came through in Madrid to reach the final.

Novak giving off a MASSIVE grunt of effort on his serve now but muzz has the break

Just don't care CC just want to see him win.

OOOOOOOOOOO so sorry CC ..getting too excited here

What a brilliant point from a mental midget therr though. Magic

And another from both men. No evidence of boring homogenised play in this match

Murray lacks any sort of skill. Playing in the rain making Murray's mediocre game look half decent.

Andy is only proving what Ive always said.. keep his emotions in check and he can take on anyone.

Thats strike two m'boy, were not interested in this today

That's an opinion. I don't agree with it but that's all it is.

There's an issue if people's opinions count as wumming..

Andy Murray is the king of Clay!

Murray with a 105mph second serve at 30-30. Huge.

Big big hold for Murray there

Djokovic not wanting to play in the rain is lolz for anyone who remembers RG 2012 final where he practically begged to stay on court

You do realise that pretty much all wumming is disguised as opinion? It's the repetitive nature of the comments which make clear the guy is a wum.

That's a way to win a match point!!!

Andy Murray wins the Rome Masters beating Djokovic 6-3 6-3.

Weak era on clay when a mug like Murray wins the historic title in Rome.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


AMAAAAAZING

AND THATS YER LOT SWEETHEART
