| How can anybody "hate" Murray? This is a guy who was involved in the Dunblane massacre - he was cowering in a classroom at the time. He has played some fantastic tennis and I would love to see him win.
Can't see it, however, with the machine that is Federer in his way.
Women's tennis, on the other hand - money for old rope. But enough of Venus Williams. Or the other one.

| I like tennis, yesterday i was watching a great Tennis player but he fell at the final hurdle to the final, unlucky Tsonga but i've just discovered my new favourite tennis player, Roger Federer so i'll be hoping this guy wins, he can play a bit too.

| I am not a great tennis fan ,but it would be good for Murray to win for the Queen's Jubilee, the nation & to shove one up the jacksies of our ever under performing prima donna footballers who have promised so much for so long. But ,more than that, because he has done it all himself ,let him win for himself, he deserves it. Let us be proud of him ,win or lose tomorrow ,he deserves our respect.
Well done lad !

| I don't subscribe to the support someone just because they're English/British. My favourite player is Nadal

I subscribe to this viewpoint. In the rare instances I ever have the tennis on, I support Tsonga.

| I can see why men's tennis gets the coverage it does. There are top athletes playing some fantastic and entertaining sport, all year round.
Women's tennis, on the other hand, is no more of a spectacle than women's rugby league. Apart from perving on Maria Kirilenko I don't see any redeeming features that sees the game get the coverage it does. They don't cover the court well at all, they don't have long rallies, they don't have the athleticism, they don't have the quality of shots, they only play three sets maximum.. Yet they get the same coverage and now the same winning money as the men. That's a joke in my eyes, and in no way sexist, they're just nowhere near as good.
I don't see why people hate Murray. He's inoffensive. I hope he wins tomorrow, it will be good.

I'm the opposite. I don't subscribe to the support someone gets just because they're good or have a chance of winning or are the best and wins everything.

| Why should he have to have a glimmering personality that for some reason everyone demands? He is a tennis player who came from an ordinary background and became worldclass at a sport, that doesn't mean he will be a tv star who is articulate and interesting to listen to. He's a bloke who is good at tennis, if you took randoms off the street you'd fine a vast majority would be the same as him, just not good at tennis.

| Personality gives an extra dimension that makes you want to watch them, the x factor if you would.
When i see Murray i just see a guy who although talented always looks sulky and holding his leg or shoulder or ankle pretending it's injured. Look at yesterday, first Brit to get to a final in years and he's straight off the court, the guy has no sense of occasion and just lulls around the court, his mum is weird too, sometimes it comes across as though they're a little too close almost incestual, bloody creepy is what i call it, the guys only redeeming feature is his tennis but ironically it's not enough.

| I enjoy watching tennis and am a big fan of Murray. Not just because he is British but because he is a very entertaining player to watch never gives up on a point and makes some amazing shots. Ain't bin as much lately but usually go for a game at Birchwood. What annoys me is the attitude of some people who say when he wins he is British and when gets beat is Scottish.

But that's just it, he's not there to make you want to watch him for his personality, he's there because he is world class at tennis. Go for a walk down the street, there's a vast number of creepy people about, but you wouldn't make much deal about it when you see them. He's there to play tennis and nothing else, when it comes down to it.
