Elixir Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 From a bagel to a tiebreaker. Clearly losing interest and points to him being finished IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Typical BBC nonsense - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/38500073 "Sir Andy Murray extended his career-best winning streak in competitive matches to 25 with a straight-set win over Jeremy Chardy in the first round of the Qatar Open." Obviously the loss to Goffin in Abu Dhabi does not count - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/38470093. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Unionist trying to belittle the achievements of Britains greatest sporting superstar. The **** really don't like Sir Andy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the BBC have also explained in the part you have quoted by stating competitive matches. Never saw today's match but hopefully see the semis and final if he makes it that far. He is facing Almagro tomorrow which should be easier that Kohlschreiber. Even if Almagro is winning he will no doubt choke it away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Almagro looks like a Barcelona player making his debut. Looks very nervous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Almagro on form is a very good player. Still remember him beating joker in french qfs few yrs back Pretty much everything he's hitting is landing in, and Murray is making an error. It's not much fun watching this as a non tennis expert Murray fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not much fun watching this as a non tennis expert Murray fan. Breaks back. Happy days.That's why folks like Almagro have a chance of 3 sets. Very rare that they can keep that form up over best of 5. Qf of french aside. That's why the Grand Slams always favour the better players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
