TENNIS Live

The trouble is it´s not sport any longer. The stakes­ are too high, and the players take anything that comes­ their way if it favours them. Other players would have­ acted the same way as Troikci and Murray, with the­ possible exception of Agassi in bygone days. The umpire­ had no choice but to apply the appropriate rule. The­ incident didn’t affect the result in this case, but it­ isn’t always so. The Henry hand ball incident was a­ little different in the sense that it broke the rules­ of the game. That did affect the result and it should­ have been turned over.

Vicktor Troicki had the rare opportunity to take the­ giant leap from being a good tennis player to becoming­ a true sportsman by consoling the young ballboy and­ telling him that everyone makes mistakes. Thierry­ Henry had an even greater chance to do this when he­ dumped the Irish out of the last World Cup by blatantly­ handling the ball twice before scoring. If he had held­ his hand up and told the ref, the French may have­ despaired of him for a short while but the world of­ football and beyond would have hailed him as a sporting­ hero.
Unfortunately Henry said nothing and dear old­ Troicki behaved like a big spoilt child. perhaps I am­ naive to expect anything else!

It didnt do Murray any favours either ,he lost that­ game .Troicki knows the rules,if hed been distracted­ and knocked the ball out the decision would have been­ the same .A atoem in a tea cup

Andy won because of himself. The ballboy made no­ difference! Even if Troicki won the point, it would­ have made no difference. GO ANDY!

you can do it Andy . JUST BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF JAMBO­ LEITH

Andy needs all the help & luck he can get if­ he's going to win a slam!
The poor lad (ballboy)­ was too quick off the mark & made an error which,­ in this instance, helped the Scot.
I don't think it­ necessarily changed the result of the match­ however!
But bad luck for Troicki all the same - but­ that's how it goes.

Andy Murray won bcos he´s the better player, the­ ballboy mistake could go either ways!!!
Good play Andy­ and congratulations...

So Andy Murray won because of the ballboys­ mistake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
