    Nope, that isn't 'history' Lendl also lost his first 4 and then won 10.

    Really looking forward to tomorrow now, stuck a cheeky £5 on Andy to win in 5 sets.

    He has to start well and be positive on his forehand, if he tries to cancel Federer out and force the mistakes he will just blow him off the court.

    Most importantly, he has to keep his composure, it's his biggest enemy.

    Come on Andy!!

    To have any sort of chance he will have to win one of the first 2 sets, if he goes 2 behind he's lost it. What kind of odds you getting for a Murray win tommorow?

    7/4 to win the match .. Federer 1-2. To be honest, if I was betting in normal circumstances I woulda piled it on Federer, 1-2 is actually pretty good!

    Heart ruling the head this time!

    I've took Murray to win 3-2, it's 13-2 on Bet365.

    Worth a punt. :50:

    On another note, Charlie Webster sitting doing those Wimbledon reports on SSN, in those figure-hugging dresses with her legs poking out is creating a warm front in my jeans every time.

    Ooft! :100:

    Marray and Nielsen are 2 sets to 1 up in the doubles final currently at a rain delay. Would be good to see them win it

    A very enjoyable final so far, I hope Marray/Nielsen win too.

    Marray and Nielsen have won the doubles. Fantastic effort only played in 3 events prior to this and put out the Bryan Brother and the team who have been finalists the past few years.

    Well played :50:

    Brilliant final and great for Marray and Nielsen.

    Especially since Lindstedt acted like a bit of a * throughout, Tecau and Lindstedt have now lost 3 Wimbledon doubles finals in a row.

    Last time a Brit won the men's doubles at Wimbledon was in 1936

    Let's hope history repeats itself in 2012

    If it goes to 5 sets I think Murray will win it. I think Federer might win it in 4 sets though.

    I was actually thinking that before you said it. The fact that you said it as well has got me thinking about putting some money on it, you've been on fire the last couple of days.
