That's that for another year then.

Must say I'm a little surprised. Always liked Roddick but really wated Murray to win and expected him to to be honest.

That said, Murray was out played today. Roddick as ever was superb on serve and I was really impressed with him at the net volleying.

Basically came dowm to two tie breaks and when Roddick can concentrate his massive serve on just 1/2 serves at a time he won't lose many.

All in all, a decent tournament for Murray. Given the opponents he came up against the minimum he should have been looking for would be a semi final appearance and I'm pretty sure he'll be hugely frustrated tonight.



Disagree there. He varied it alot more than Murray today. Was superb at the net.

Roddicks serve killed him today.

1st top notch player he faced and he's out,oh well at least he can now go back to winning tournaments that nobody cares about now.

Yup, and in comparison Murray's first serve % was dreadful all match. I said last week he'd peaked too early in that department when he getting it to around 70% is the second and third round.

Not sure he would have averaged above 55% today, and you're not going to get to a major final serving that poorly.







Although I agree this was his first big test of the tournament, I wouldn't say he is only "winning tournaments that nobody cares about".

Let's not forget, he's 22 and has reached a final, semi final and quarter final in three of the grand slams. Added to that his performance on the tour, I'm confident that when he peaks, he'll be winning slams.

Spot on. Failed to convert 0-40 into a break and failed to take chances in the tie break.

His dismal service game didn't help, mind.

Ridiculous comment. What, like winning golf tournaments that nobody cares about? Yeah, laughing all the way to the bank.

Murray flops

, again!!!

I'm talking about the tournaments British sports fans care about not the players.He can win all the masters events to win all the dosh but until he wins a slam he wont get the respect he probably deserves off the run of the mill sports fan.

Nice back track, but I think he will.

No back track.it's not my fault if he couldn't understand my post properly

I understood your post perfectly well, thanks. In fact I've won 2 Grand Slam titles for Comprehension.

Flops?

A semi final appearence is a flop?

Dear me, some of you English have a strange understanding of the term "flop". Where have all the English finalists been recently then? Rusedski?!

If the 'run of the mill' sports fans are those who snipe and belittle the achievements of our sports stars why the hell would anyone want or need their 'respect'?

Serena's turn to win, obviously.

she is hot baby

can the babes win the doubles

I agree, if Murray was going to flop, he would have done so against Wawrinka in the fifth.

That said, on reflection it was a disappointing tournament for Murray, or at least a disappointing semi.

so who won the doubles

Fair dos to Serena, she does at least have a personality and a sense of humour. The actual press conference was hilarious, as was a previous one in which she made reference to the number of Russians in the womens' game. She was also wearing a t-shirt bearing the legend 'Are you looking at my titles?'

aussie babes .double troubles just missed out on winning wimbledon

go go aussie babes

Well done Roger, again!

Roddick threw that away.

Gutted!

Roddick bottled it big time in the second set tie break but what an effort to come back from it and take Federer all the way.

Roddick won more games, broke Federer's serve more and yet because of two tie breaks, he has come out in second place. I think Roddick deserved to win but that's the nature of the tie break. Serving second in that final set was also a massive disadvantage.

That said, Federer is a true great. Gone off him a bit since he won the French, and I think Roddick came across a lot better in the post match interviews but I must still admire what a fantastic champion Roger is.

Mixed feelings really. I didn't think Roddick would get anywhere near Federer, but tbh he should have won. Roddick's longer matches seemed to catch up with him physically near the end, and Federer had a bit more mentally.
