what's scary is his mum does a similar expression - just not quite as wide...

If you look at just Murrays mouth, it looks like the mouth of the Aliens from Aliens starring Sigourney Weaver.

Man, I watched the end of that video hoping to see the entire trophy ceremony. I've never seen such forced applause in my life. So Andy cried eh? was Fed as gracious w/him as Nadal was last year?

Yeah to be fair Federer was gracious to Murray and although Andy did cry it wasn't quite as cringeworthy as Fed's hysteronics last year

Anyway a great match from Roger, some stunning shots and very deserved indeed
I'm sure Andy's day will come but he does need to be a bit aggressive and I'm sure Tenez will disagree but I think Nadal is more aggressive than Murray is, at times anyway...

Not much between those 2 in terms of attacking. Down to the respective form of the day. Nadal was really agressive in that FO 08 but even then, I remember that 3rd set when Djoko started to find his range on this very windy day, Nadal started to retreat in his safe heaven, the back of the court. Nadal is also more agressive v Federer cause Fed'd BH lacks power so he can really attack the soft balls coming from that wing...but apart from that, Nadal is not what I'd call an attacking player. But you know that choka, don't you?

Only just seen some of the Fed-Murray final and then only the third and final set. Did not look a high quality match to me. It seems AM only went 5-2 up in the third due to some poor play by Fed and then Andy tossed the advantage away with some slack play of his own.
Not sure how much we can read into the first GS of the year. For the previous two years, the AO winner did not win another slam for the rest of the year. May be different this year as you are dealing with Fed - a serial killer when it comes to capturing GS titles.
Noted AM was wincing a bit at the end. Would he have been able to mount a comeback even if he had taken that third set ? Alas, we'll never know.

Oh of course, have never said or thought otherwise
