i remember him...he went to 'boro on trial when he was 36...but didn't get a contract.

Watched the final while playing bomberman on the ds. We ended up switching them off to watch it. Brilliant final, close all the way. When you look at the standards of Nadal and Federer its hard to see Murray or indeed anyone else getting close to them in the next few years.

I am currently mid argument with me mate who thinks that this final hasnt been that exciting as serve an volley is more exciting.
Correct me if i am wrong...as i am no tennis expert but isnt serve and volley the tactic used by big strong players who have a good serve to win the point easily and quickly ?

I thought baseline tennis would get the crowds more excited, am i wrong ?

That was an unbelievable game. Such high quality tennis from both players.

I would have preferred Federer to win but I'm not overly annoyed.

awesome game of tennis for the final and i'm made up that nadal finally did it. loved his stadium climbing celebrations at the end too. spain is owning everybody at sports at the moment.

It was one of those occasions where I would have been happy with the result whoever won.
