poppyshake Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I forgot to say ... amongst all those words that I watched the womens final in 3D .. weirdly they started it about 20mins in but still .. it was brilliant but very surreal .. we kept ducking (I almost know what it's like to receive one of Serena's serves now ) Alas, I wasn't at home for the mens final so didn't get to see it in 3D. Looking forward to some other sporting highlights but haven't got Sky 3D so are only able to see the stuff the BBC puts on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Good luck to Andy against Djokovic Go Andy!! .. or preferably Go Novak! ... straight back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 When I read who Murray was playing next my first thought was "Bronze for Andy!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It's best of three sets, so he's got a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) It's a tall order ... Djokovic is looking good again, the weather looks as if it might be a closed roof situation which doesn't favour Andy .. but yes in a best of three set situation anything can happen and then what? Is it Roger again? Just read that Roger is quoted as saying 'I'm playing my best. I don’t know if you can play any better' Edited August 3, 2012 by poppyshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 He's losing at the mo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Guaranteed silver, not too shabby. I might even support him this time I haven't actually been watching any of the tennis, though, or football - too many other sports to see that I don't usually watch, when there's plenty of tennis and footy on the rest of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yay .. well done Andy Now for Roger .. well Del Potro nearly put him away, so anything can happen Bet Roger has already had something embroidered though .. let's hope he's wasted his money. And who was it that said that Andy couldn't beat Rafa/Roger/Novak .. when it really counted? Well he's knocked one of them down in an Olympic contest ... give that man a medal .. oh, they will won't they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 And who was it that said that Andy couldn't beat Rafa/Roger/Novak .. when it really counted? Oh no, you're not dragging me into that again But, to quote myself: "I don't think Murray can beat the big three 'when it matters'. Over three sets, fine. Over five, in a slam, not at the moment", so you're only half quoting me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over three sets, fine. Over five, in a slam, not at the moment", so you're only half quoting me Oh I always half quote people to suit myself .. you've surely noticed that by now Whoever it was that decided that Olympic tennis matches should be best of three ought to be knighted .. less time for the big guns to try out all their gamesmanship and mind bending and whatnot. Roger is a bit like a stubborn stain though .. reckon it will take elbow grease and a lot of swearing to get rid of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anisia Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I feel torn about this match - I've always been a Federer supporter, but now that Murray is playing the final, I feel like I should support him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wait ... did I just hear that the men's final is over five sets?? Well, Andy, if there was ever a time for you to prove me wrong, please do it tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being Mr T I've never been so delighted to be proved wrong :D ... still only three sets, though No it wasn't, no it wasn't .. you're changing stuff now. It was best of five .. only he didn't need the extra two. Oh I'll never have to listen to the words 'when it matters' again ..

Inver Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Phew...stayed up to watch Andy Murray in USA tennis last night, down in first set and 5-1 down in second then stepped up a gear and won in 4 sets....ya beauty....go Andy. Bit sad too though Andy Roddick bowing out of tennis for good last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I didn't see it but too close for comfort .. was always going to be a tough match though and he did well to turn it around (shows he's not a panicker) Who's he got now? *toddles off to look it up* .. ooh Tomas Berdych .. that's going to be tough .. he's just beaten Roger .. yay!!

Karsa Orlong Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I turned it off when Murray was 5-1 down in the second set. When I turned it back on he was serving for the third set and I thought 'oh, he's going to get one set back', then I looked at the score and had to doublecheck it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Was exhaustd watching the Berdych match, thought he was going to have to go to 5 sets. Glad he made it in four, not easty though. Do not disturb tomorrow night....9pm....go Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
