A lot of people on here are quick to jump on him ''choking'' if he gets knocked out at Wimbledon, but this year he's made the final, ok he's not won it yet but this is an achievement also. Hope he batters Fed on Sunday

Scotsman gets to London suburban pat-a-ball final which he'll probably lose. BBC News appears to think that "the nation" is riveted to this minor event.

Deary me today.

Good on him. Not a tennis fan to be honest, but watched his progress this week with interest, and have enjoyed watching his games. They have the drama that most genuine sports fans crave. I'll be jumping on the bandwagon on Sunday.

Probably more riveted than the nation was to its RL side's game against that Exile's team this week????.....

Hope he gets snotted.

And here come the jealous class warriors. How terribly predictable.

Don't think its got anything to do with class regarding Murray, his comments about supporting England's rivals in the 2006 World Cup has put some people's back up.

Also should he win we will probably get Alex Salmond using him as some type of pro-independence tool.

He's a jock what do you want him to say?


I want Scotland to get mullered in every match they play


Come on Andy

He was actually mis-quoted but don't let that bother you.

Probably. To be honest, I didn't watch that either.

If he wins he'll be described as British but if he loses he'll be described as Scottish.

Wimbledon been on for 2 weeks now and no interest on here at all. Now he's in the final, all the bandwagon jumpers are out!!

Come on Fed!!!

Exactly. Therefore, I hope he gets snotted.

He's not playing for Scotland

HTH

He's playing for himself.

Just like all those on Henman Hill are big into Tennis the other 50 weeks of the year right?

FWIW, i always watch the mens Wimbledon final, it's a great occasion usually and (as far as i know?) the only slam final available on terrestrial. Bandwagon jumper i ain't. I don't give a monkeys about all the British/Scottish politics about him either, he's just a great player, and i like him because he's a morbid moody c**t like me

While sportsman who play team sports are associated with the club they play for, they're only ever really playing for themselves anyway.

The fact he's a miserable and a Scot makes me want Federer to win

Aye, Federer's a barrel of laughs, from a country complicit in massive international tax frauds and hoarding gold for the Nazis. I can see why he'd be so popular.

Federer cruising to his 23 grand slam win from 25 finals.

Murray doesn't have the mental strength or that ounce of extra ability to win a grand slam title. He will never win wimbledon or any other slam.

I don't see what either of those things have to with federer.

Has anybody got an idea as to what Simon Fuller was doing sat next to Murray's mother at Wimbledon?.

apart from watching the tennis that is

A lot of childish hate for Andy Murray on here. I thought he did exceptionally well to get this far and played his part in a brilliant final. He's getting closer and I agree with Federer that he will win at least one Grand Slam.

To see a grown man reduced to tears because he came up short just shows how much it meant to him - a moving sight to see that emotion from ANY sportsman IMO. There's no shame in losing to Roger Federer though - outstanding from Federer. As much as I was rooting for Murray, you do have to applaud Federer's genius at times. He's the Lionel Messi of tennis.

Murray lacks that extra gear I think to take that last step to glory. Fair play to him but with Nadal and Djokovic being his age as well I think he'll struugle to win a major.
