His 2 Wimbledon victories on here are some of my favourite days on his site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) I was still in retail when he won his first Wimbledon, and was working on that Sunday. Some English customer had wandered in watching the final on his phone, and I spent about 15 minutes, along with about five other people (a mixture of customers and staff), huddled around this guy's iPhone for that ridiculous final game. Went home that night and watched the whole thing again. Football brings far more scenes in general than tennis, but the joy from Andy winning that was something else.

John Lambies Doos Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I was still in retail when he won his first Wimbledon, and was working on that Sunday.

Went home that night and watched the whole thing again. Football brings far more scenes in general than tennis, but the joy from Andy winning that was something else.This in spades, except the retail bit of course. Watched the match live whilst recording it; stopped myself hiding behind sofa at the tricky bits (especially that last game). Watched it again, then watched Today at Wimbledon, recorded sky sports line, watched that, got up in morning... Wall to wall coverage on BBC and SKY. Absolute fantastic time to be alive!!!!Second title was fantastic also, but that first one was the best, sent two fingers up to all the Murray haters.... The boy from Dunblane had done it!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Khachanov wins the Paris Masters. Seems obvious to say, but he has a bit of Marat Safin about him. Not the way he looks, but I think his backhand is as good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 https://bbc.in/2QR9z3xSeems tennis fans are becoming quite shitty now. Dare beat a top player and you become public enemy and guilt tripped to apologise for stuff completely irrelevant to you. Beating a big name should involve running around shouting yass, not standing around trying to justify yourself.It's a complete joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The new tennis season is just eight days away and there is a number of changes coming in the Slams, ensuring that each Slam has a different rule for the fifth set. Australian Open: Now tie break in the Fifth set at 6-6, however it will be a champions tie break (first to 10 points) French Open: As it was, fifth set played until 6-6 and the advantage rule applied. (i.e win by two clear games) Wimbledon: Normal tie break played after 12-12 in the fifth set. US Open: Every set to finish with a tie break at 6-6. Murray has used a protected ranking of #2 to gain entry to the Australian Open and has been given a wild card for Brisbane. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spell of his career bookended by the 2 Olympic Gold medal wins was phenomenal. Doubt we'll ever see a British player do anything close to that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
