MarkoRaj Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 He's had some run at it, and he's clearly the greatest British sportsman of all time.Time to retire though. Leave when you're still at the top, don't fade away. I feel painfully sorry for you. What a pitiful existence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I don't think Lex is an actual troll and is just an absolute moron. Nobody who knows anything about tennis thinks that Murray is finished with, doesn't have a slam or two left in him or should even consider retiring. Only Murray knows himself if he needs a break though and his form has dipped this year.Fair play for his comments about women's tennis but it's been blown out of proportion a bit and it wasn't casual sexism from the interviewer who was just asking the question assuming the conversation was about men's tennis. That's the kind of thing that is casual sexism though. Not great, sweeping injustices...just wee mindsets being a bit too closed. Fair play to Andy I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to Andy I reckon. I suppose so, I am willing to give the interviewer the benefit of the doubt although I doubt he would have forgotten the gender if he was interviewing Jo Konta.The reaction that his comments have got show how admired he is in the tennis world though, a true inspiration of a man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Is it surprising/concerning that we haven't had an update on the hip yet? No news regarding Djokovic still as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-coo-shed Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Think he has seen a specialist but is getting different opinions. Might need surgery? Wouldn't be surprised if he missed the next two masters tournaments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) He is currently doing rehab training. Some kind of cold water training. I would imagine they will wait and see how his hip reacts to that. Djokovic and Murray are both on the entry lists for Canada and Cinci.

John Lambies Doos Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 There are whispers that he may have failed a drug test (a re-tested older one). Well.. if these allegations are true then I for one would not be surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 If that's true and the ATP are hushing it up then there are really taking a risk - it's potentially huge if it leaked, up there with Armstrong. For that reason, I can't see it being true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 IF true, which I am very sceptical about, I wonder how many titles he'll have potentially done Murray out of? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftk Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sky Sports have lost the rights to the Atp tennis tournaments including the end of season finals at the 02. They will now be shown on Amazon Prime from next year. How many different sports packages do tv companies think people can afford to subscribe too? No wonder so many people use kodi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sky have now lost a load of tennis, a huge chunk of golf, and a bit of cricket as well. Starting to think I'll have to bin it soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sports tv market is certainly becoming very competitive. Love to see sports follow the WWE and set up their own networks e.g. tennis network or scottish football network. Then you can just subscribe to the sports or league's you like. All comes down to cash though and the maximum amount sports can get from tv. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing it doesn't have the slams though. That would be like having the WWE network and it not showing Wrestlemania? Suppose 2 of the 4 are on freeview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Isn't £10 million quite a lot for Amazon to pay when it doesn't include the slams? How many people are going to pay for Amazon on the back of it? I have it already for the free delivery and have watched a few shows on their system like the Man in the High Castle so I'll probably watch but will it entice many yo sign up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
