****ing hell. How good was that point?

Super Murray. What a comeback from him. Bravo!

I don't know about Andy, but I'm absolutely shattered after that match.

Just took Murray to win 3-2 @ 12/5. Lets hope his BRIT qualities kick in soon.

Cheers Andy, you gutsy British hero, you.

Brilliant stuff. Love tennis matches like that. Murray has got balls of steel. Fantastic fighter.

What an embarrassing post match interview from the BBC. Who was that guy asking him those ridiculous questions?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Great fight back.

Well Done Murray.

I remember verdasco from a few years back & he was decent but I didn't think he could was that good.
Hats off to Murray

Garry Richardson. As ever, completely inane and sounds as though he's never watched a tennis match outside of Wimbledon.

Was he asking about the hairdryer treatment?

I think Murray was probably looking forward to his ice bath after that. Less excruciating.

Seemed like he was tripping over his words. Well aware that he was talking absolute nonsense.

"Do you er think that Fergy might come into your changing room er and give you the hair dryer treatment?". WTF

Andrew Castle is another complete waste of space.

Great comeback from Murray.

Well this first ladies semi final ain't gonna last much longer. Flipkens getting mullered. 6-1 3-0 at the moment in less than half an hour, although she does seem to be struggling with her knee.

Can't think of many players I'd want least in the final than Bartoli

At least they're not really "grunters", so it's watchable. Bartoli looks to be almost home.

 

[pasty]

Gotta feel for Flipkens. Managed to break only for Bartoli to break back immediately.

Very entertaining second semi though. Lisicki is close, but not quite there.

 

[joeinbrighton]

Lisicki wins 9-7 in the deciding set having been a break down at one stage. Much like the Murray-Verdasco match yesterday, the match ebbed and flowed and Lisicki lost her serving rhythm completely in the 2nd set. She rediscovered it in the nick of time and despite Radwanska's energy around court, Lisicki just had enough. Although Bartoli hasn't dropped a set in getting to the final and must be an awkward player to come up against, if Lisicki brings her A game on Saturday, I think she will win.

Nice to have two different girls in a slam final. I quite like both of them, but if I was a betting man, I'd probably just go with Lisicki.

 

[Gazwag]

Please win it Lisicki, I can't stand Bartoli with all her pre point antics, and of course she's french

 

[Paris]

Lisicki has played with a smile on her face throughout the tournament. Unless she is a great actress she comes across as a nice, genuine person. Would like to see her lift the trophy on Saturday. Regardless of nationality.
