In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
But Isner wins still the 3.set 6-3.
This match pretty much sums up why Murray will have to get very lucky to win a slam.
I think we have been seeing why he will never win a grand slam for the past two to three years and not just this match unless the top three are injured or knocked out earlier.
Yeah Murray is a shit player
Not saying he is shit, just missing that little bit of extra class.
Yeah Murray is a shit player
Nobody said that.
Murray wins. Awful tiebreaker by Isner.
And Murray should get rid of his mother. From his box I mean.

What a shit tie breaker that was
Isner was awful at the end. Missing simple shots all over the place. I think he's even more immobile than Karlovic 
Anyway Rafa vs Roddick now.

Murray beats Isner 7-5 6-4 3-6 7-6....................five down - two to go
Great match from both, but the 4.set was amazing
In the end it wasn't a easy walk for Murray but all in all he's played good tennis and was the better player.

Have a feeling a Rafa's going to be in a very tough today.
If he plays like he did yesterday then he should win but if he plays like how he played every match post Wimbledon then he'll lose.
Kyle Edmund, George Morgan and Oliver Golding are all through to the boy's semi-finals!!!!!!!!!
Really fantastic news for the british tennis

I think this is the first time in last one or two years that somebody has got more posts than wr8 in a tennis thread
He'd trade all those semis in if you gave him a GS title.
Murray was very good in the first two sets btw. Some good returns and got himself out of some difficult positions in the point. However Isner really bottled that tie break. That double fault and that volley point were criminal.

Rafa is playing some ridiculously good stuff right now.
Unbelievable start. Double break against Roddick
Looking very sharp. With Djokovic not quite looking at his best, I think Nadal will win this tournament.
To do that Nadal will need to win today and beat Murray which won't be easy considering he's never beaten Murray in a hard court Slam till now.
Anyway great set from Nadal and he takes it 6-2.
If there's any weakness in his game that he needs to work on then it's the second serve. Djokovic and many players recently have started attacking his second serve and hitting down the line which really bothers him.
Another break for Nadal.
He needs to be tested for drugs post match. He's been phenomenal over the last 2 days

There was no need for Nadal to have played this game today. Waste of his time. Just go ahead and play Nadal Murray and get it over with.
Proper schooling this
6-2 6-1 now and Nadal's just hitting passing shots all over the court.
Stunning that Roddick has zero winners in two sets of tennis.

Nadal 6-2 6-1 Roddick
I can't believe how easy it is for Nadal

Roddick had triple break point at 0-40 and another one at Advantage but Nadal saves them all. He's just relentless today.
1-0 third set.
1-0 third set.
Its what good players do. He won Wimbledon and the US Open like that last year. Unimpressive in the first week. Lethal in the 2nd.
0 forehand winners for Roddick.
He's being schooled.
He's being schooled.
Looks like Roddick has completely given up even trying. Is he injured? Really poor display.
Wimbledon he was atrocious in the first week but he was very impressive at the USO from start to finish last year.
This year he's been surprisingly low key all summer after the Wimbledon final but he's getting back in form just in time.
For the Indians watching this :
Aren't you tired of the idiot in the Deo ad? He's so annoying now
Oh and Roddick has his first winner of the match at 4-2 down in the third.
