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" ?!

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! : :

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2012

Re: Grand Slam Tennis 2012
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.
