Bravo Miseryguts!

Tennis is not tribal. That's one of the main reasons why it's the only sport I watch.

Well, as the only British man to get into the Finals since 1938 I will be cheering him on. Of course it's tribal, surely you want to UK to triumph?

Is that because he's British/Scottish or because he's the under-dog, Anna?

Serious question

[Lateralthinking1]

how many times has Murray beaten Federer ?

Slightly hard to believe....................

Murray 8 Federer 7 - http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/...=F324&oId=MC10

No, Anna, I don't. I thought I'd said that already. There are now two unwatchable finals from my point of view. One has Murray in it, and the other has the human machine Serena Williams in it. I may watch them anyway

Ditto. Now I am off until, tomorrow.

I really like Serena - she's not British and she's no underdog

Go girl!

COME ON ANDY!

COME ON ANDY!

... or, to put it another way -

COME ON ROGER!

Why? (to both). Just wondered.

Why anti Azarenka? Because she doesn't willingly do interviews, she smashes her racquet (racket?) and she sounds like a kettle.

Incidentally - Beef could be right. The bookies have Federer as the strong favourite.

Murray beats him in Shanghai and Qatar; Federer wins in little old London.

I hope Murray wins so that the Press and BBC stop going on about Fred Perry who won in 1936.

not an attractive player to watch though.........

Of course I'm right! If Murray wins I will spend the 2012/13 season wearing an Arsenal hat!

For what it's worth, the Twitter 'trends' for the UK (i.e. the most-mentioned topics) not an hour after Murray's win included:

Scot
Virginia Wade
Fred Perry
Tim Henman
Roger Federer

.... but not actually Andy Murray.

Vox populi....

Glad you're back, vinteuil. I needed some support
