    There's something just not fun about watching someone who doesn't have fun playing :( I just can't root for Murray.

        @avantgame To be fair, after 4 hours of playing tennis, he's probably just really, really tired.

        @sigildynamics Djokovic managed plenty of smiles and said "Every moment was enjoyable" Murray never says anything like that!

        @avantgame Djokovic has won plenty of grand slams. It's Murray's first and he's the first Englishman to win it since the 1930s. It's complex

        @avantgame Heh, well maybe now that he doesn't have the hope of nations riding on him, he might loosen up a little :D

        @avantgame He just played a 5 hour match, give the guy a break. He was probably cramping and in pain standing there. Besides, he's a Brit.

        @avantgame I agree, but he finally won his 1st Grand Slam. However, watching him? Bleh.

        @avantgame That was either a painface or some vicious grin, either way I think he gets a pass.
