Andy Murry

I have always loved a thrilling game of mens tennis. It is a wonderful game when it full of rallies that shows off the skills of the players and I was lucky enough to catch the end of one such game by accident yesterday. I guess I'm like most people, unless the games are being played int the England you don't play any attention to the games. It turned out that listening to the end of this game turned out to be a pleasure.

The game was the mens semi final of the Australian Open. It was an amazing display of skill from the two players Andy Murry and Novak Djokovic Everything you could want from a game of tennis. A real nail bitter of a finish, that after five hours of play went down to the last game without you knowing who was going to win. Either player could have wrapped it up. In the end the unstoppable Novak Djokovic won the day. But it wasn't all bad for Andy Murry who game has come on so much recently. So much so that Jonathan Overend the BBC tennis correspondent said of Murry's performance and the game:

Murray should take enormous pride from the way he ran the best player in the world so close and the way he hauled himself back from tricky situations, like set points down in the third, 5-2 down in the decider. Djokovic has improved immeasurably over the last 12 months and here was evidence that Murray has the ability to do the same. Stepping up the court, hitting with depth and purpose, going for the lines on massive points. These were big positives. Shining through almost five hours of skill, pain, joy and heartache, should come a whole bundle of hope for the season ahead.

The whole game was inspirational and I hope it motivates more younger people to play the game. We could all do with a bit of cheer at the moment and having someone like Andy Murry winning some finals would be great for the sprit of the country. Lets hope there are lots more games like this one to keep us all entertained, especially in the summer.
