Australian Open

[Shaggy]

No-one arsed? Nadal about to go two sets down against Ferrer in the quarter finals. Opens it up for Murray if he goes out.

Is the Swede still in..?

[Reece]

Not watched any of it but would be great to see Britain's Andy Murray win it. So Come on Ferrer

[Shaggy]

Is the Swede still in..?

Edberg? Wilander?

I guess?

Still not sure if Murray has the stuff to win a grand slam...

[Fredo]

Why support Murray? Federer

[Reece]

Why support Murray? Federer

Why not support Murray?

Federer is great - the best player I have seen in my lifetime, but I would really like Murray to win a major (is that the right phrase in tennis - I'm having a mind blank ).

Why support Murray? Federer

It's a Britain thing...

[Shaggy]

'Grand Slam', although major is acceptable.

I love Federer too but I'd also love to see Murray win a biggie.

[Reece]

I thought Grand Slam but then I thought that was when you win all the majors in a year or whatever

So, Murray yeah?

[Fredo]

Aha

I want to see Federer push the bar as high as possible as regards to grand slam wins. If he wins the Aussie Open that'll make it 17 grand slams.

There are four 'Grand Slam' (that for Shaggy) comps.

Oz/US/Wimbledon and French...

[Reece]

Oh yeah I know that much - just couldn't think of the correct term

Apologies

Went into teacher mode.

Yep - glued to it when I can. Got to feel for Nadal. I reckon anyone but him would have jacked the match before now, but there are so many people to keep happy. Hope he's not making the injury worse.

Tried to record Murray's match last night but somehow missed it. Perhaps it was on BBC2 rather than the red button.

Murray will win a slam - and I hope it's this one. Long way to go yet...
