Federer gutted he couldn't do him 6-0.

Come on Skleter he bet him well and Murray has not played near as good tonight....
Federer giving him one game, thats nice of him. let hi have a few more games then Roger, there's a good lad.
I know I'm just teasing, I don't hate the guy, I'm just really happy for Federer.
One of the lads today was telling me about seeing Andy Murray on Soccer AM where he admitted that he hated seeing England winning? Something like that. I never heard it before? Was he talking shit or does anybody know anything about it?
Did you have money down
Murray did brilliantly to make it to the final in the first place. Runner up is fantastic for him.
Unfortunately not, I thought Federer was a little short and I thought it'd be much closer really.
Nice from Murray, fair play lad.
Well played Andy, delaying the inevitable though it seems. Would love to be proved wrong.
Yeah he did. I personally think he was taking the piss. But who cares if he wasn't, plenty of English people hate seeing England winning.
Nice Manhattan sunset
Shame it hasn't been a contest really, this is hardly going down as a classic
He'll be accused of bottling it, the excuse will be he hasn't had enough rest. At the end of the day, he just wasn't good enough on the day. A fantastic opportunity lost, but at least he and his doubters now know he's capable of reaching grand slam finals. This won't be his last, but I think he needs to sort something mentally because he's lost it a tad here

He jokingly replied to the question "who do you want to win the world cup?"
with "oh being a Scot, anyone but England." It was quite obviously tongue in cheek, but it doesn't read that way.
I am glad to see Federer winning. He is a great player and needs to break the grand slam record.
I cann't wait to see Murray's First serve percentage - It must be shit
He just double for Championship Point
It usually is, that's something he really needs to work on more than anything else. let's him down, just like then.
This time.....?
Was averaging 86% with Nadal and 79% with Del Porto - some of the best figures in the tournament
Class point to win it
Congrats Federer, and well done Murray for making a grand slam final.
Well done Fed -
Unlucky Murray - unlike Greg Rudeski, you'll be back

Love it! The king is back!
Federer wins
Well done Federer. Murray's got about 10 years to go one step further.
Well done to Roger Federer! A deserved victory. Andy Murray did well to get here and surely his time will come.
Fair play to Murray, better player won. He'll be back and is only 21
Well done Roger, he had a point to prove to himself more than anything i think. And well done Andy, great to see a British lad that can compete with the best, his time will come.
No 86% of points won on First serve - Not talking about first service in
But we'll agree he was woeful in that department today when he needed a big serve
I was...
Sorry my man - may be wrong, but I was talking stats earlier on Betfair and 86% was the figure thrown up. He didn't lose 2 points in a service game until the first game in third set
feck me these yanks are worse than Sue Barker.
You get that figure later United Red - Percentage of First service points won on his first serve.
Anyhow Unlucky to the lad and I hope he goes away with his head held high
Disappointed Murray could not even take a set but its not all doom and gloom. After winning Cincinatti it was important to prove he could carry it on to a grand slam and he got better as the tournament went on. Beating Nadal and getting to his first final is huge but he just did not perform today, even when taking Federer's extra rest etc into consideration. He is definitely the best of the rest and has pulled away from the likes of bloody Davydenko, he will get better as well. Hopefully, he carries it on and solidifies himself amongst the top three players.
This 1000th post is dedicated to those who thought Federer was finished.
Take that.
I wish I was e-famous and had someone to thank but I've only been here a month.

The talk of prize money is so fecking vulgur.
Roger needs a few tattoos on his arms. Would make him look harder.
Especially after kissing N.Y. ass so much
