Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2012

Thanks Susie - much apprecated as i know you are a tennis hater!

Caught a repeat of the match on SKY a bit later- good win.

Very difficult match next round against Ferrer -he has lost the last two matches against him - psychologically possibly more important than a "final" ?!

Glad to see I'm not the only tennis fan on Accyweb. Just have to hope the weather allows us to see some good games for the rest of the week

Tune in this afternoon for the first 2 men's quarterfinals -Murray_Ferrer is on center court -tough match. Will be glued to my seat.

By no means Cashy -it was a fantastic win against a great player.

3 sets to 1 is not "skin of the teeth"! Mentally showed great strength - he had lost the last time the two of them met and although seeded 7 at Wimbledon Ferrer is No 5 in the world.

I am just coming back down to earth again - some fantastic tennis was played by both.

48 hrs to the semi-finals. Should be two great matches.

Just before the last point -husband, who hates Murray said :"Mangio un gatto (Pardon my Italian!) which is the equivalent to = I'll eat my hat (although in Italian they say cat!) If he is a true champion at this point he'll go out on an ace like Lendl used to. If he does he'll win Wimbedon this year!"

He did just that - fingers crossed! Though I can't decide which of my cats to sacrifice!

C'mon Andy!: :

That's just a close match - a real battle.

Don't wish to nit-pick but the third set was 6-3...

Murray will not win it he will bottle it as usual, its a shame because he has the game and the shots and the physicality to do it but is mentally fragile in my opinion.

He's like the Scottish version of Tim Henman
