Moaning Murray......

[ELVIS68]

Petulant little brat

What's his problem with the roof closing, if he's that good he should be able to play in any conditions?

[jim360]

I think it's all about momentum -- he will have felt on a roll, in the zone, and has to stop while in full flow and start all over. I think you're just judging from the sidelines -- no-one who's playing well wants to stop playing.

[Mattk]

He has seen it as gamesmanship by the Pole.

I think Wimbledon made a boob when they installed the roof as surely it would have made much more sense to be able to switch on the lighting without closing the roof?

[Zacs-Master]

Murray has the crowd. The polish guy had to think of options and lack of light / the roof was his only option. I just hope Murray has the maturity to realise this and smashes him into the ground as his opponent now had nowhere to go, tactically.

[anneasquith]

oh come on. the polish guy has been moaning for more than an hour about the light.

[FredPuli43]

Momentum. But he shouldn't have a childish rant. That just encourages the opponent, who'd been complaining for most of the past hour.

[jim360]

Janowicz had left while Murray was protesting, so probably didn't hear it, though I'm sure he will have been told. Anyway Murray is often moaning on court so it's hardly new. And at least he's a very good and winning "petulant little brat"!

[anneasquith]

from the commentary team '' janowicz prefers playing indoors ''

I`m not watching it but if someone complained that the roof needed to be closed due to lack of light, I agree with them. We`re 6 miles west of Wimbledon here and it`s pretty dark. I wouldn`t want to play tennis in this light.

[jim360]

It probably is dark-ish now -- but they closed the roof about 25, 30 minutes ago. Murray was arguing that they should have been playing for that 20 minutes.

[Hopkirk]

I would have thought he can only do himself harm, having a paddy at a time like that.

I try to like him, but he makes it very difficult.

[anneasquith]

oh , I cant watch !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[anneasquith]

well done, '' the petulant little brat '' :) :)

[WyeDyed]

Brat or not, British or Scottish... He's in the final.

[bibblebub]

He was quite right to complain, and it was less moaning than the Pole came up with.

Very good victory.

[Eve]

I figured it was the delay while he was in a winning momentum. Though I guess if the light dropped quickly while they were playing the final set, would it had been worse stopping mid set though they have to stop with rain generally.

Didn't stop him winning in the end though.

[maggiebee]

Well done Andy. Petulant or not you did it!! Roll on Sunday!

[tamborine]

not petulant at all, it was at a crucial point of the game. Poles aint used to our longer daylight hours

[ELVIS68]

Oh well credit where credit's due, he done well to win, can't see him beating Djokovic though

[bibblebub]

he can, he's just shot king kong down from the empire state building

[jim360]

I think Djokovic is more likely to win, but the way Murray played today, if he can sustain that he'll have a great chance.
