Not having and BBC luck.

So...when NBC starts covering it at noon, they'll be live right?

And it'll likely be in the middle of the second set.

F*** this.

Tennis Channel and ESPN need to exclusively run the majors.

It's probably because Anri is in the US and not the UK.

If you were behind a UK proxy you'd probably be able to see it.

Nadal about to do what so many players are mentally incapable of doing to him. Pick on an injured player.

Murray is so despicable faking that injury

and playing for time calling the official

while nadal heroically soldiers on with his numb foot that he got rescuing kittens from an orphanage


I don't even know who I'm being sarcastic at anymore

BURY HIM UNDER A TIDAL WAVE OF JUSTICE MURRAY.

Though he'll still lose

C'mon Tim!

Crucifying my Oracle average one match at a time

Murray did look the better player in that set, but Nadal has much more longevity.

I think Murray has this, most likely in 4 sets. It's possible it could 5 or straight sets too, but in the end, I'm guessing it's gonna be a Murray vs Djokovic final.

And from the looks of things, Djokovic still has the edge just as he did in the Aussie Open final, but that is just my view, Murray could very much win the final, this could be his year.

Still, Murray's gotta win 2 more devastatingly tough sets just to reach that final. So much is at stake right now, plus Nadal is gonna give it his all no doubt.

You're not accounting for Murray's frailty and comparative lack of fitness

If Murray doesn't win in straights he'll probably end up losing :(

Had his chance to break there, missed it. Set over, he won't recover.

It's tiny things like that that break Murray mentally.

^Hes not mentally weak though, maybe in comparison to Nadal or Djokovic or even Federer, but the fact that he's even where he is at as a tennis player means that he is mentally tough. Tennis relies on mentality greatly, so even though Murray can improve in that area, he's plenty fine mentally.

It's just that he's not only vsing Nadal but he also has all that expectation and pressure on him. Every player has pressure, so it's not different for Nadal, but Murray's pressure is a bit more pressing in a way.

Just my 2 cents mate lol

By the standards of a top player Murray is mentally weak. Not even sure that is debatable

He is broken and dying on the court.

More fail >_>

This was hilariously predictable. One shot has turned him from matching Nadal to being a horrific mess. Mentally. Weak. No debate or discussion here.

Murray is probably crying to himself after that point.
