2015 Australian Open Semifinals: Murray vs. Berdych

[nehmeth]

Wow. I just lost a WHOLE lot of respect for Murray. Classless and childish.

:eyepop :wow: You respected Murray? :cover

 

[brokenshoelace]

What genius point construction by Murray. That low short slice is baffling. There's nothing you can do about it.

 

[brokenshoelace]

They did a recap a few minutes ago - seems Tomas said something to make Andy mad? :nono

In the 1st set Murray celebrated a point by staring at Berdych's box (where Murray's former coach is) and yelling very loud.
When they changed ends Berdych stared at Murray the entire time he was walking because Berdych didn't like what Murray did.

Wow. I just lost a WHOLE lot of respect for Murray. Classless and childish.

Well, at least he didn't tell the crowd to hush

haha, I know I know....I tend to root for underdogs with a homeless look about them. lol

 

[nehmeth]

Murray's first serve pretty darn solid, but that second serve still begs to be crushed.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Whoa, poor back to back misses by Murray and he faces break point, seemingly out of the blue.

 

[brokenshoelace]

What a pass.

:snigger Tomas was never the poster child for good sportsmanship.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Some hesitation by Berdych to follow that ball in. Where is Fiero to tell us about modern players and their substandard net game? I feel like we haven't had a post like that in about 13 hours.

On the stretch from Muzz a bhand cross court winner saving BP

Nishikori is about the only one I can think of that would qualify for that. We all have our faults, no?

 

[brokenshoelace]

Berdych feeling it. That was a perfectly returnable first serve.

Except for Raonic :snigger

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hmmm Pascal Maria giving Muzz a warning for his serve,Muzz told Pascol Maria the score board infringed and that caused the delay,Muzz would be a good umpire when he retires...

Yeah he's been chunking way too many shots... not hitting through them the way he has up til now

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Now Muzz is telling Pascal Maria that Tomas has to hurry up and serve,Pascal Maria just laughs it off

 

[brokenshoelace]

That final backhand up the line by Murray is why Berdych will probably never get over the hump and win a slam. Against any other top player, Murray would have felt the need to hit through that, and therefore, potentially miss it. Against Berdych, you know you don't need to, as his movement isn't good enough, so you just guide it in.

PS: To all the talk about Berdych's movement improving exponentially, watch this match. I reckon that had more to do with Nadal feeding him softies.

 

[TsarMatt]

I love watching this Murray play.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

What great defensive from Muzz.then that winner,Muzz with a Fist Pump agrees

:laydownlaughing :clap


Murray ups his game whenever something/someone pisses him off. Thanks Pascal Maria. :dodgy:
