That was the performance he needed. He'll go on to huge things now and I think he'll be a very good bet for next year's Wimbledon.
Or you could say this will be the highlight of his career...he's definitely benefited from Nadal's injury problems.
Murray needed to know that he could beat one of the top three in a major match and he's beaten Djokovic and Federer within a few days. True it's 'only' in the Olympics, but Federer and Djokovic were both gutted they missed out on Gold and Bronze.
Gutted it's nearly over. Been a great showcase for the world to see what we're all about and for the world of sport to come together and to recognise the unifying powers it has. Farah and Bolt was a superb way to end it as well.
Did anyone happen to be watching the fencing yesterday? I was flicking through channels and decided to watch it for a bit, as Team GB were on. After one round, it cut away to a guy who had "Weale" on his back, then he turned around, and it actually looked like Chris Weale. I was shocked, surely our ex-goalkeeper hasn't turned his hand to fencing? So I googled it (obvious next step...), and turns out Chris Weale has an identical twin brother who is part of the GB fencing team. What do you know!? Anyways, I am very proud of my spot, so thought it had to be shared
I was midway through reading that and I was going to say Weale played yesterday. It's a funny world we live in.
Yeh I was so confused, I was certain that it was him, but him having an identical twin brother explained it all... Must admit, I have been very impressed with the Olympics, I have got in to it way more than I thought I would. I went to the Olympic Park on Friday, watched the mens handball semi-final. The Olympic Park was pretty amazing, and handball was actually very entertaining! Every time they got a penalty, they played "Under Pressure" through the stadium, can you imagine if they started doing that in football!?
Well done team GB - you made us so proud! I won the lottery when I was born in this GREAT country! When you compare us with similar nations such as Germany, and France we kicked ass!
Europe's finest! Even put the might of the Russians to shame! We'll probably go into recline now our Olympics is out of the way, but at least we've had this moment!
Glad Brian May, Roger Taylor and The Who had great parts, didn't think they were going to get a decent showing. Surely "We are the Champions" would have been a better song choice though
My missus tells me that this double barreled name is when the parents are not married so i got thinking, if katrina johnson thompson had an out of wedlock son with sean wright phillips he could be called leroy johnson thompson wright phillips, nowe fit that on your housing benefit claim form if you can
