Yea, they were decent wins, but hardly giants. Of course, Murray tore him to pieces the other week in Brisbane, so the writing was sort of on the wall against Federer, though he did win a set of Federer last year, which I was hoping he may repeat and make a match of it.Colvinator2012-01-23 15:07:44

Tsonga loss giving Murray an easier path.

Hewitt getting humped though.

Novak well off his game here. Appears to be struggling physically

Yet he still manages to be 2-0 up.

Novak is a god.

A tennis god.

Top four all set to square off then. Looking forward to this.

It's all looking good for Murray.

This. And I'm confident he'll step up another level and roll murray in 3, four max.

this is what you meant right?

Fed looking good early on

Looks like it may be another late night on the couch watching epic tennis.

Im picking Nadal at the moment but it's so close.

Nadal-Djokovic final then.

I'm surprised Nadal won that after the way Fed started. How good is this tennis though. Looking forward to tomorrow night's formality.

Agreed.

 
Yes, agreed.

On that note, saw a classic tweet yesterday something along the lines of:

'Wondering when it's my turn to be women's world number 1 in tennis...that's how it works right?'

Tricky thing about the "Federer is the greatest player ever" call, is that Nadal consistently beats him. Obviously Federer is a great player, but it is worth noting that he won a bunch of slams just by beating the likes of Henman, Hewitt, and Roddick.

As much as it pains me to say this, but Murray will get absolutely slaughtered by the Serb.

Of course he will. Djokovic in 3.

Murray in the final colvinator? Have you forgot who he's playing in the semi? Unless I've missed something and Novak has pulled out of the tournament it aint g'na happen.

Unless Novak's injury pops up then I can't see it. Novak in 4 for me.

Agree with all the equal pay stuff, and add the fact that the men play for longer makes it a bigger joke

Djokovic will have to play better than he did against Ferrer, though it wouldn't be a surprise to see them both step their game up. If Djokovic does have issues with his leg and isn't moving well (like the other day), then I certainly think Murray will win

First set to Djokovic...trying to slyly watch it online at work.

Hoping Murray can come back.

He's definitely warming up.

Brilliant break. Come on Novak don't let that Scottish c**t back in.

Yeah he needed that one.

I think the key question is. Will Novak be able to keep up with Murray. Andy looks far more fitter

Mildly racist/xenophobic is it not? Dickhead.

Scottish isn't a race.

Pipe down you miserable Scot.

That's why I also put xenophobic.

And the UN would say your comment was racist.

Legal

The UN does not define "racism", however it does define "racial discrimination": According to the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination,

the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life.[12]

This definition does not make any difference between discrimination based on ethnicity and race, in part because the distinction between the two remains debatable among anthropologists.[13] Similarly, in British law the phrase racial group means "any group of people who are defined by reference to their race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origin"

Boo hoo.

Break break break break....

Good response. Go back to reading Mein Kampf and whatever else you get up to in your spare time.

Massive lols. I don't like Scots so now i'm a Nazi.

Jews, Scots, you all start somewhere.
