Spot on. Failed to convert 0-40 into a break and failed to take chances in the tie break.
His dismal service game didn't help, mind.

I'm talking about the tournaments British sports fans care about not the players.He can win all the masters events to win all the dosh but until he wins a slam he wont get the respect he probably deserves off the run of the mill sports fan.

Flops?
A semi final appearence is a flop?
Dear me, some of you English have a strange understanding of the term "flop". Where have all the English finalists been recently then? Rusedski?!

If the 'run of the mill' sports fans are those who snipe and belittle the achievements of our sports stars why the hell would anyone want or need their 'respect'?

I agree, if Murray was going to flop, he would have done so against Wawrinka in the fifth.
That said, on reflection it was a disappointing tournament for Murray, or at least a disappointing semi.

Fair dos to Serena, she does at least have a personality and a sense of humour. The actual press conference was hilarious, as was a previous one in which she made reference to the number of Russians in the womens' game. She was also wearing a t-shirt bearing the legend 'Are you looking at my titles?'

| Gutted!
Roddick bottled it big time in the second set tie break but what an effort to come back from it and take Federer all the way.
Roddick won more games, broke Federer's serve more and yet because of two tie breaks, he has come out in second place. I think Roddick deserved to win but that's the nature of the tie break. Serving second in that final set was also a massive disadvantage.
That said, Federer is a true great. Gone off him a bit since he won the French, and I think Roddick came across a lot better in the post match interviews but I must still admire what a fantastic champion Roger is.

| Mixed feelings really. I didn't think Roddick would get anywhere near Federer, but tbh he should have won. Roddick's longer matches seemed to catch up with him physically near the end, and Federer had a bit more mentally.

| Roddick ran out of gas big time towards the latter stages. Shame as well, as I thought he deserved it. Think was was due to Federer playing alot less sets throught the tournament, and also being a lighter mover on his feet.

I don't think Federer comes across badly in interviews, but because of the quality of sportsmanship in interviews from players like Nadal and Roddick, he does sometimes come across arrogant.
But then again, you could say, he is still extremely humble for someone that is labelled the greatest ever Tennis player, ahead of the likes of Rod Laver and Pete Sampras.
As for the match itself, I always felt in the final set that although Roddick would not go away, Federers superb grit and determination (mentioned by Roddick in the post match interview) would get him through the match.
Credit to the modern game of tennis on the mens side really that for 2 years in succession, the final has been talked upon as the greatest ever.
