Murray's mountain


Josh and I settled down to watch Andrew Murray take on Roger Gasquet on TV last night, at Wimbledon. Some hours later, still playing through to about 9.30pm, we felt as if we had played the match, it was so exhausting.

Having been two sets down and with the Frenchman serving for the match, Murray managed to break back. He then won the tie break and followed it by winning the final two sets. What a comeback. One of the best matches I’ve seen in a long time.

Quite a mountain to climb, but Murray did it.

Sadly, the euphoria didn't last long- Murray went out in the next match. The problems of supporting a British player!

The final PS to the tennis: One of the most amazing finals ever. A 5-setter with Nadal finally beating Federer. A real classic!
