Brilliant from both players. Isner must be thinking oh no not again.

Started calling him 'Wasner' on Sunday.
I guess you had to be there.

Surely it was just a bit of banter? Are people taking it seriously?

Murray's reaction suggested, to me, that he was being serious about his lass in Glasgow, and honestly didn't know he had an actual GF. I reckon the 'banter' line is all a cover-up to get him out of the gooseberry fool

If that's true then I don't really have any sympathy for the bloke to be honest.

What did I miss?
Plus Heather Watson should have totally beaten that Spanish opponent!

Titles since 2007
Djokovic: 48
Nadal: 48
Federer: 39
Murray: 31
Ferrer: 22
Amazing from Djokovic. Between 2008 and 2010 after he won his first slam he was going nowhere and was going to be the nearly man. But since 2011 he has been amazing. Just needs that French Open.
Murray also needs to improve. He has lost 9 out of the last 10 meetings against Djokovic. He found the answer to beat Djokovic a few years ago, but Djokovic now has responded well.

Well, in my opinion he hasn't physically got back to his pre-surgery level - looking at Novak I don't think he's really changed his game, if anything he's a slightly lesser player compared to his godlike 2011/12 version.
But Andy doesn't quite have the same relentless physicality as before and I get the feeling he doesn't quite put as much on the ball as he used to. Especially his crosscourt forehands, he used to launch them like cannonballs all the time but I don't know if he can rotate his body as much as before.
The back surgery really scuppered his trajectory. He still has the all-round game to win the odd title though, there's a lot of inconsistent players in the top 20 for him to put away.

novak will no doubt win the french open this year, he's simply on another level to the other 'big three'.
its a shame he doesn't get the backing from the crowd that he deserves. he was visibly annoyed yesterday that he was not receiving nearly the same backing as fed.

I'm not so sure.

Yeah if Nadal can keep his legs moving he'll win it again. Novak only dominates the other 3 on hard court.

Anyone watching Nadal v Murray? It's looking all over for Nadal already, barring a classic Murray collapse in the 3rd set.
[edi] No third set! I thought men always play best out of 5?

Excellent second serve from Murray. 81% of second serve points won damn.
That's for grand slams only, everything else is best of 3.

Straight sets, against Nadal, on clay.
