Today at Wimbledon

What a day!
Had a crap day at work (so, what's new!).  Looked forward to seeing Andy Murray beat Rafael Nadal on Centre Court today - but, of course that didn't happen.  Andy started off really well - played amazingly aggressive Tennis against Rafa, but, even though i was impressed with this style of play, i along with many others knew that it was just a matter of time before the Spaniard began to wave his magic wand and produce winner after winner.  As is so often the case in Tennis, One point seemed to change the whole course of the  match.  Andy was a set up and had an easy shot to make it 3-1 in the second, but he missed an absolute sitter.  From then on the match seemed to belong to Rafa.  The outcome was inevitable, and Rafa won in 4.  My critique is that, although i think Andy murray is an amazing player with a worthy style of play that is worthy of winning a Grand Slam.  Unfortunatly, i don't think this will ever happen - as  i feel that this was his prime opportunity, which he didn't take.  I only hope that Andy doesn't get crucified by the British media  as i think he gave it everything he had - he just met a better man on the day (and i'm afaid this will be the case throughout his career!(
