12-11 to Federer, 3rd set tie-break. Roger Federer is 2 sets to love up, Championship Point #3. Forehand into the corner, Murray slams a backhand...into the net!
Roger screams with delight, the Swiss maestro has done it again. Slam no. 16, Australian Open no. 4. But the look on Murray's face is heart-rending, you really have to feel for him. He's played brilliantly, but the class of the master just shone through.

Roger and Andy; all smiles with their trophies.
But sometimes a picture can't say a thousand words. Just a few minutes earlier, Murray had struggled to hold back the tears during his acceptance speech. "I can cry like Roger, it's a shame I can't play like him." *sobs again while thanking his team* "Sorry, I'm done here." Aww cheer up Andy, you'll definitely win a Slam someday. Federer was in tears last year, and we all know what happened next.
Roger, the ever gracious winner; consoled Murray. "Andy, you're too good a player not to win a Slam so don't worry."
Chelsea 2 Burnley 1
Chelsea and England captain Terry was in hot soup after tabloids revealed his affair with good pal and former team mate Wayne Bridge's ex, Vanessa Perroncel. She and Bridge broke up in December, but the affair was alleged to have taken place while they were still together. Terry is in danger of losing the England captaincy and calls for his head have been steadily growing since news of the sordid affair broke yesterday.
But like all great leaders, he let his football do the talking. Chelsea faced a difficult trip to Turf Moor yesterday evening, where Burnley have only lost 1 at home all season. The Blues went ahead through a classic counter-attacking move which ended with Anelka poking home at 22 minutes before Steven Fletcher gave the home side a shock equaliser in the 50th after a mistake from Alex. Wave upon wave of Chelsea pressure was thwarted and it looked like we were going to squander 2 valuable points. Corner in the 81st minute, Lampard floats it in and up pops 'Captain Fantastic' ; foolishly left unmarked to head a powerful shot downwards and into the goal. 2-1 Chelsea, 3 points in the bag. A terrible character as a man/husband, but nobody can deny his quality as a leader on the pitch.
