Have to admit that never saw that. But he was well below his usual standard today. Still the GOAT though for sure. Just a shame that he cant add an olympic gold to his legacy.

Murray will still never win a slam.

Yeah, it is a shame. He was below his usual standard. Anyone who disagrees with that is being delusional or just stupid. Happy Federer is still no.1 though.

Best Murray's ever played for sure. Federer outclassed him 28 days ago but Murray more than returned the favour here. Federer wasn't to his usual standard but he wasn't giving the match to Murray. Wasn't like Federer was leaking unforced errors and double faults. Murray was hitting some immense winners and forcing Federer into mistakes. Beat Djokovic and Federer in straight sets without losing his serve once. GOAT Form. He should be in total BEAST MODE come the Mixed Doubles after that. US Open starts in just under a month. Murray's strongest Slam, have to consider him a strong favourite on his current form. Nadal should be back for it though which will be an even bigger challenge. Think Murray should avoid Nadal until the Final now after winning Gold.

Robson looked adorable on her own behind Murray's team in the box. Really hope for her she gets Gold because she deserves it so much.

This is awful for Federer. Murray outplayed him but Federer just just crap in his standard. Never expected this. This is probably Federer worst match this year. Made some stupid unforced errors. It wouldn't have made a difference though. No taking away any credit from Murray. I am very disappointed. Lets hope things are different in the US Open.

It is a shame Fed did not win an Olympic Gold. Wish he did. Fuck.

If you think Federer did ok then you are absolutely wrong. He wasnt good. If he played better the match would be closer. Murray would have still won unless Federer was playing at his best.

It seems that he is going back to his pre-2011 form. Think he do well in in the US Open

Roland Garros 2008 was much worse.

We may have disagreed on who gave Serena the better match at wimbledon, but i agree with you entirely on this.

Anyone who thinks that Federer played good to his standards, is either kidding themseleves, never watched tennis before today, or licking Murrays ass. The commentators didn't help by bumming up to Andy every second though. Murray played really well today,and would have won unless Fed was at his best, but Fed would have made more of a fight out of it definately.

In case you didn't know (not you Samoon). RG 2008, Nadal defeated Federer 6-1,6-3, 6-0. It is Nadal on clay though

**Nige™** · 08-05-2012, 11:05 AM

This makes the US Open so intriguing now. Murray stepping up, Del Potro continuing to improve, Djokovic slipping, Nadal not fully fit, Federer unpredictable. Then there's the threat of Tsonga too. I cannot wait.

Congrats to Murray. He was immense.

nazzac · 08-05-2012, 11:08 AM

Tsonga and Shvedova to win their Maiden slams at US Open!!!!

^ I hope

USO is definately going to be interesting. Can't wait

This could be such a major turning point for Murray. Winning Olympic gold is just as much (if not more) of a big deal than winning a slam. The Olympics happen once every four years, slams happen four times every single year. This was the biggest match of his career, and he nailed it.

First of all this tournament he's proved he can win a five set final, and second he's proved that he can beat the world number one and two in one tournament. He's got momentum on his side, and he should feel very good coming into the US Open this year. His strongest slam, just won the Olympic final against the world number one. He's got a big shot there. So, so happy for him, it just feels like he's just overcame this huge obstacle and now he should be able to play to the standard we know he can.

Ivan Lyndll has done wonders for him. We can officially consider the pairing a success.
