*Murray-Watch : Btn by Nalbandian 7-6 6-3*

comment on the article

Andy Murray was outclassed in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters today by a brutal performance from Argentine David Nalbandian to end his 14 match-winning streak. Both players played attractive, positive tennis but the amount of recent matches caught up with him at the end, as Nalbandian saw the match through in straight sets.

How exactly do you plan to do that? Even if you could, no identity theft took place. Anyway, we always beat you at the type of rugby that matters.

Jimbo - sorry that the boy Hamilton disappointed you. Actually, him claiming the title by a single point at the final corner, that's what I call exquisite...

Andy was destined to lose at some point........ pity that Dave played above himself for that match....... this is something that Andy will have to put up with now........ He's the man to beat........ everyone will want a try, and all will raise their game........ just as Andy has done on a regular basis against Nadal and Fed in te last year.

Well done Andy... Thanks for the excitement and superb tennis.......
You have done us proud.

jim040z: if you reread your post, you'll see that the only pleasure you get from life is when others come a cropper. How sad, sunshine! Try casting aside the dirty sock that you ozzies take to bed with you and find something you can be proud of about your nation.

I've got to say Chumba, I'm loving your infiltration of the Rafa fan thread...I wouldn't plan on losing any more bets though. laugh

Also, a nice bit of steel in deleting all that Potro poison, surely the mods have got to take action!!!!!!!!!!
