RE: USO FINAL - Andy v Federer

Andy has to force the choke though - not give him the match in a return game

This is reminiscent of Andy's performance against Nadal at Wimbers, after his titanic win against Gasquet. He just seems to lack the energy.

I think clutching his leg was a bad move - it could only encourage Fed to exploit it.

Maybe tiredness has played a part, maybe nerves too, but hey it's a GS final. And I may put a little money down on Andy to win a slam next year :)

Hey ho, he's just sent the bakery products back to the shop!

Vandenburg · Futures level

lets think of the positives.

moved to a all time time high of 4 in the world
made his first grand slam semi and final
ended nadal (WR 1) streak and had 1st ever win vs him
ended del potro win streak.
proved to the world that he can quite possible go all the way

id say it was a good tourny for murray

Vandenburg · Futures level

agreeded

I admit Murray didn't perform great.

But Vandenburg, I don't think you have any clue about how well Federer played tonight. I think you should go away and watch some more tennis.

Well done Andy - Great fortnight. Don't blame the scheduling (It will even out over his career) - what a platform for 2009!

one thing i was disapointed with was that andy didnt hold for a 2nd set tb. cuz andy is very good at tbs and that could have tied the match up and 1 set all. but instead he got broken to love (fed had 4 winner). that could have been the biggest game of the match

Next year, Andy.

4 slams.

1st round.
3rd round
Quarters
Final.

As Federer is my second favourite - my first before Andy came along - I am not too disappointed. I'm glad he has not gone a year without a slam. I'm glad he has got nearer breaking Sampras' record.

But I would much rather Andy had won! furious
