Sunday’s In the Books
Andy Murray’s victory was in the air this morning, hours before play began, and not only because the Scot has played the best tennis of the field this week. Entering the players’ hotel, this reporter encountered a group of young men, kilt-clad, and women, with Saint Andrew’s Cross painted on their faces and lettering on their shirts. Once lined up, the group spelled out, as you may have guessed, “Andy Murray.” Not only were these fans true Scotsmen, yesterday marked the wedding day for two of them. By fate or coincidence, the BBC Scotland reporter was passing by and caught the fans on camera. They became even more enthusiastic upon learning they were to appear on the news in their home country. When asked whether watching Andy Murray play tennis was her idea of a good honeymoon, the bride emphatically yelled, “Of course!”

The volunteer driver to the site today was also Scottish. In addition, what one spectator referred to as “Scottish weather” took over Toronto, with rain providing several delays to the match. It just wasn’t a Swiss day.

Federer confessed that even before the rain came today, the anticipation of delays dwelled in the back of his mind. Federer said that after the disappointment of coming back from a double break but falling short in the first set, the multiple rain delays in the second set ensured that he got no rhythm in the match. He said, “…it didn't even feel like the end of the match, you know. Just all of a sudden it was all over.”
