He is actually the better player in my opinion, but he did not get enough first serves in yesterday. It was his own game that let him down, he wasn't actually beaten by Roddick. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/3#post-408602 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:35:14 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 408602@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yes I agree. I did so want him to win the two Andies game too. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/3#post-408599 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:32:40 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 408599@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Probably, but if he lets a little incident like that ruin his game, he's not ready to be champion yet. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408586 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:09:14 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 408586@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Do you think it broke his concentration PM? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408583 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:02:50 +0000 Pollys_Mum_in_UK_2605 408583@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just to reply to Metsa about Murray getting in trouble with the umpire. </p> <p>Murray missed a shot and bellowed out "Come on, Pat" (I have no idea why he yells that but he does). The umpire then reprimanded him for using an obscenity. That would mean he would be fined substantially by the LTA, so he asked the umpire perfectly politely, what he thought he had said. The umpire refused to reply. Murray finished the game (which he lost) and then asked the umpire again what he thought he had heard. Again the umpire refused to answer, but when Murrray told the umpire exactly what he HAD said and asked again "What do you think I said?" The umpire replied "I might have been mistaken" to which Murray replied "There's no might about it, you were definitely mistaken" and the match continued. Both commentators were astounded by the umpire and could not work our why he had called Murray for obscenity. Their excuse for the umpire was "Well he's French" </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408419 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:40:48 +0000 Kilroy 408419@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I was rooting hard for Murray (trying to counteract hubby rooting for Roddick), sorry PM! He'll be back, though, I'm sure of it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408414 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:23:17 +0000 SoxsMom 408414@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Daughter is cheering for both of them....don't think she's got the concept that one must lose... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408411 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:16:34 +0000 GreatDane 408411@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GO ROGER!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408401 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:56:16 +0000 FondaHonda 408401@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Whew! Now I can safely catch up with what's going on without finding out the results! Hey, I'm glad too! Although I wouldn't have minded if Murray had one, I'd love to see Roddick play Federer in the final. The only problem now is who do I cheer for? I want Roddick to win, but not if it's against my all time fav--Roger Dodger! :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408398 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:50:57 +0000 metsa 408398@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad someone is happy about who won SM! :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408396 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:50:07 +0000 metsa 408396@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It would have been great :(. I think the pressure got to Murray a bit - apparently he got into trouble for shouting at the ref too, and that's not like him (from what I've seen). There has been so much attention on the lad here. next year maybe! They both played really well though. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408392 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:40:19 +0000 SoxsMom 408392@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>There is some cheering in New Mexico! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18624/page/2#post-408375 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:52:12 +0000 GreatDane 408375@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Crap!
