Murray is like Djokovic in a way. The crowd will always turn on him if he's easily beating an opponent whereas they will kinda stick with Rafa or Fed no matter what. He def got tilted when the crowd got behind Kei.

if Delpo doesn't get this far i will root for a Murray-Djok final, with Murray winning obv.

there was a thread about this topic on "the tennis warehouse" the other day:

http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/index...sunday.572332/

thanks for the link again Chrizza, i really like this board.
it's forum structure and quality of posts/posters is pretty good--the other two boards TF and MTF are horrible; too confusing and too much hate and whining going on there, it's depressing.

Djokovic on the other hand, I have no idea why people turn on the GOAT.

People turn because they want to see a competitive match but with Rafa and Fed the crowd knew they were watching greatness. For some reason Djokovic doesn't get the same treatment which def is weird.

This. He's not just the goat player but also the goat personality.

So butthurt and I don't really know what it is. I mean if it was so bad you could probably hear it, too. Sure comes off as a ****.

That gong would put me on tilt if I was trying to play a sport at a professional level.

Moths, rain, "gongs". More external elements to keep tilting Murray, please.

Murray the mope.

Lol at the lolvak slurpers who can't figure out why the crowd won't support him at all times like Fed and Rafa. It's beautifully oblivious.

Meanwhile, Nishikori is playing really great. That jumped-in thing he does is cool.

Butterflies certainly are challenged. The net's not that high to begin with, and there's a full stadium with bright lights everywhere to head to. gtfo. Assuming this is always the same one.

LOLOL he killed it!
