Federer won a silver.. GO FEDERER!!
Ah yes, that Olympic spirit didn't last long did it guys ? Andy is our hero when he's winning and a choker when he's not? I'd like to see you lot out there doing better your all such experts !!! And talk about supporting Fed, you would probably only support the no 1 in any sport just to be on the winning side ...... All Man U supporters ? Proud to say that no matter if he wins or doesn't , I'm a Murray fan and I'm sure even Fed has his off days ....... Like never winning an Olympic singles medal of any colour !
Bad luck Andy! Not all of us here are bad sportman like some on here! Yobs!!
@ Ckare Both. Chardy is taking it to Murray's he's more aggressive and is serving well. Murray isn't at his best but he's still be outplayed and is doing his usual, muttering and complaining to himself, looking up at his camp with every point he loses or shot he misses. He bashed his racquet a couple times too. Chardy stayed calm, didn't get too high or too low. Well done him.
Hahahahahaha! The Olympic champion dethroned by chardy lololol :) told yous not to get carried away with your hero, now you know what I mean, see his body language, when the going gets tough Andy gets going. Well normal service resumed mr choker again :) Tsk Tsk he can't keep his cool under pressure
Murray proving that straight sets win over Fed was nothing but a gift from Fed to his UK fans LOL!
I think Murray should lose and give himself a break
Is Chardy playing well or is Murray jaded from his Olympic exploits ????????????????? Cannot see the match to see the truth.
