[AndyP & Lenore]

Is anyone else up at 2am watching Andy Murray's 4th round match in the Australian open?

A.

[Sheilz]

Naw! Just having a gander on NMS. Now there's something different to do. Cheers

[zimbo]

Andy P :hand: :rolleyes:

[Ivano]

Briiliant that he got through...

Now all the fun starts in the next round or should i say anxiety and stress with Nadal in the Q Final...

[euan]

I stayed up to watch the first set, then realised I'd missed most of the tie-break as I'd been asleep on the sofa!

Was that against the 6'9'' guy?

[euan]

Was that against the 6'9'' guy?

Aye, he was some size! Made Murray look a midget, and he's over 6'!!!

[Delboy]

Another convincing win for Andy Murray :thumbs up:. Hope he can keep up this good form against Nadal...

[AndyP & Lenore]

Hope so Del. And he'll have to to get passed Nadal, 'cos he's playing really well just now too.

But, got to say, Andy was playing the best I've seen him for a long time last night. He seemed to actually be enjoying the match, which I haven't seem him do for quite a while.:thumbs up:

A.:D

[euan]

Get in, watching it live now while sitting in the office - happy days.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Me too. Got up nice and early to watch it on BBC HD.

"C'MON!":thumbs up:

A.:D

[Delboy]

Watching the score on my phone and calling my wife at home for updates - come on Andy!!

[GCA3N]

Watching it at home too del great game.

[AndyP & Lenore]

It's a real shame, Nadal almost looks like he's given up. His knee must be really bad.:sad:

Terrific match so far though.:thumbs up:

A.:D

[GCA3N]

Great result for murry he was amazing.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Great result for murry he was amazing.

Absolutely. And even if Raffa hadn't retired, the scores were on the doors and he was gonna take the match. and I guess you take a win any way you can, but a real shame for Raffa. Hope his knees are OK.:thumbs up:

A.:D

A.:D

You have to think his knees are a weak point, he's always had issues and this is the first slam of the year - doesn't bode well.

Murray had him though, he looks to be the form player at the moment, though Fed looks to be back nearing his best as well - could be an interesting few days!

[Ivano]

Great result... Shame it was the result of a retirement from Nadal considering how well Murray was playing... It would have been seen as a huge win if he had won the 3 sets by playing the whole match...

But anyway he is in the Semi and i think he will get by Cillic despite what people have been saying in the tennis world that neither Murray or Nadal would defeat Cillic on his current form...

Andy Murray you go and show them.... :thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

[Scottie]

good one Andy followed it when I could at my work today sneaking on the BBC website.:smilewinkgrin:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Well, the lads back out in the Semi Final. And early signs are that Cilic could prove dangerous.

A.

[GCA3N]

Andy is not playing great so far. Mo'n andy!

[AndyP & Lenore]

Playing better second set.:thumbs up:

[GCA3N]

Fingers crossed 2nd set looks good.Even better with the HD too.

[AndyP & Lenore]

Fingers crossed 2nd set looks good.Even better with the HD too.

Greig, you watching Eurosport HD or BBC HD. Commentary on BBC is much better. John Lloyd courtside and Tim Henman in the UK.

[Gismo]

[GCA3N]

Great game so far.

[AndyP & Lenore]

4th Set looking good!!!:thumbs up::thumbs up:

[Gismo]

Fantastic result

[GCA3N]

Oh yes brilliant diplay what about that shot in the last game.

[N16SHP]

That was brilliant! I've seen Federer do it at Wimbledon last year in his first round match, and on the ATP a good few years back, but both were on the open side. To squeeze it between the post and the umpires chair was just unbelievable skill and a good hand full of luck!

[euan]

Awesome result that. When is the final?

[Gismo]

Awesome result that. When is the final?Sunday

[shaunbhoy67]

its gonna be a great final cant wait, go on andy great result today some of his shot were unbelievable :thumbs up:

Some of us were working this morning :sad: but I caught up with some highlights tonight and I totally loved that shot between the net and the umpire's chair - awesome :yes nod:. Can't wait to see the final on Sunday - c'mon Andy!

[AndyP & Lenore]

Good luck tomorrow Andy!:thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

Hope he can wipe that smug grin off Federer's mug tomorrow.

Some of the interviews Federer's done the past couple of days have been quite unprofessional.:frown:

A.:D

[Crombers]

Good luck tomorrow Andy!:thumbs up::thumbs up::thumbs up:

A.:D

Maybe he knows AM is gonna be a BIG test :yes nod:

Alarm set for tomorrow :thumbs up:

[Scottie]

I'm up .

[GCA3N]

Will be recording it. What's the chances of me not finding out the score.

[Craig]

A few of my friends have went to the Dunblane Centre to watch it there. They were putting on bacons rolls and drinks during the match :thumbs up: Lets hope he can do it, cos Federers comment about a Brit not winning in so many thousand years and then laughing, I just wanted to drag him out of the telly. Smug Git ! :argh:

[Craig]

Murray broken in the second game....:frown: I have a bad feeling....:rolleyes:

[The Dogfather]

I hope he does it, it'll be a huge weight off his shoulders if he can.

[camjay]

Bad luck. Just wasn't on game today! He's still a young guy, and he's going to win a grand slam sooner or later. It was quite nice to see Murray in tears - never been a huge fan of him, but it made me warm to him a bit more!

[AndyP & Lenore]

Gutted for Andy. He played well, but the UK commentary was spot on... He's looked like he was more waiting for Fed to loose, than playing for Andy to win. He played better against Nadal and Cilic, but today, you have to hand it to smug Fed, Andy was outplayed today.

Like others have said, he's 22, and has a long Slam career ahead of him.:thumbs up:

A.:D

[N16SHP]

It doesn't matter if it was Pete Sampras in his day on the otherside of the tape, Federer was just amazing in the 1st two sets! As Big Rodge said, Andy is too good a player not to win a slam. Nadal and Federer both probably only have 3 good years ahead of them, possibly even less for Nadal, and Andy will have to be able to beat Djokovic, Del Potro and Cilic on regular basis (which i'm confident he can!)

Mat's on Eurosport said it spot on today. "Andy Murray has been probably the best player in the world in the past 6 months, the only thing that goes against that, is that he doesn't have a slam title to prove it!"

Probably the best summing up of the day I've read so far.:thumbs up: Agree 100% with all of the above.:thumbs up:

I'll go with that too. It was on TV at work & it sounded as if the Swiss bloke was sublime ....................

[GCA3N]

Managed to watch game tonight, never heard the result all day, remarkable really, thanks to all on the run for not spoiling it. The only thing wrong with the game was the result what a magnificent performance from both players, Federer's tennis was sublime Andy will have is day soon.
