Four and a half hours for three sets at the Olympics. Who does that! He just want to make sure there is no 2009 repeat.

Djokovic is out!

Does Murray really think he can beat Federer......in 5 sets?

He beat Djokovic because it was 3 sets. When was the last time he beat Federer/Djokovic/Nadal in 5 sets?

Well, well, will you look at that -- he's growing up.

I only caught glimpses of the match in the beginning, Federer was being slaughtered. Congrats to you, Mr. Murray.

I'm surprised Del Portro beat Djock for Bronze.

These games certainly are for the underdogs ...

This is NOT a Grand Slam. Only two decades ago, half of the top players don't even participate in this. They have only 3 sets. With some luck, a bad players can beat out a good player. With Grand Slam, the true ability is being tested.

Not really. He still has to win ANY Grand Slam, the true test of a tennis player's ability If Nadal comes back, Murray's chance of winning is getting sliced.

Not sure what this has anything to do with what I said.

Are you able to understand sarcasm? My other joke went right over your head as well.

Anyway, since you're offering lessons, why is the final 5 sets and not 3 like the rest of the tournament?

If this game is structured like a Grand Slam, Murray would not have passed Djokovic to reach to the tired Federer who just finished a 4 and a half hour record long match.
