Britain’s Murray becomes a Scott again
Tennis | Friday 3 July 2009 by Richard BlayneyThe British English Press have went from dreaming headlines along the lines of ‘Britain’s first Wimbledon Champion’, to actually writing tomorrows headlines along the lines of ‘Scotland’s lovable loser’.
Indeed, the dream is over for another year as Murray went down to Andy Roddick in four sets in their Wimbledon semi-final. It does however mark further progress from Murray who has gone one round closer to the final than the year before. Will he get a better chance to get back to the final again when Nadal comes back in twelve months? We’re just going to have to wait and see.
All attention now turns to the master, Roger Federer who will look to break the record for most major Tennis tournaments won all-time. I hope he does it, I think he’ll do it, and I think he’ll do it convincingly.
All that will be left will be for everyone to ask the obvious question: Would he have won with Nadal present? I think so, but then you can only beat what is put in front of you and should he go on to win Sunday’s final it’ll mark the true return to the top by Federer and spark him with enough confidence to maybe even go on and dominate the game for another half decade.
