peasy23 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 According to the German tennis federation, there will be a board meeting at the All England club tomorrow and they will then announce that Wimbledon will be completely cancelled this year. As it's on grass they would have a very limited window when it could be played, and the French have already jumped to rearrange their Open for just after the US Open.The ATP aren't happy with the French as their new dates clash with tournaments already on the calendar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I started watching the match but gave up, definitely a bit strange. Obviously the courts arent as deep as what would normally be expected, so Andy had difficulty retrieving some balls as he couldn't go deep behind the baseline. A comfortable win and served well. Edmund tomorrow might be a bit too much if he hits the forehand well. I'd fully expect him to beat Ward comfortable and make the semis. Novak was a prize idiot. I have watched some of his Instagram interviews and he has some very controversial views about health and healing. He probably thought he wouldn't get it. Depending on how badly he gets it, it could have an effect on his stamina in a match if he was to get lung damage. Hopefully Dimitrov, Coric and Djokovic have speedy recoveries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 BBC are running couple of shows of Andy Murray's best moments over the weekend. They are also running a poll to pick his best.Andy Murray: Vote for your favourite career moment - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/52969297Nothing beats his first Wimbledon win for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray is still a long way from proving that he can beat top players, even those in the top 30, in a best of 5 sets match. Sadly, I think that he's done at the top level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Judy Murray attacks Boris Becker - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/53250992. "I'm not sure I'll ever forgive Boris Becker for that," she said. He's never apologised. I don't think he would ever understand what he made me feel like. I called him out on it a couple of years later. I thought it was right to let him know how much damage he had caused by doing something like that." "Boris Becker is such a huge figure in tennis and I thought, 'people will think he knows what he's talking about, they're going to think that's my fault'. And actually, I hardly ever went to the tournaments. Most players have their parents or their families with them at the Grand Slams. Those are the events where you need the most emotional support. It's incredibly important." This is what she objected to February 2011. "Andy Murray returns to action on Wednesday after his Australian Open final defeat, with Boris Becker questioning whether he should distance himself from his mother Judy in order to win a Grand Slam. The three-times Wimbledon champion suggested Murray may need to shed his entourage and employ an experienced mentor to push him towards being a Major winner." Boris Becker did know what he was talking about and events proved him right 100%. Murray appointed Ivan Lendl as his coach later in 2011. He then won the Olympics and the US Open the following year. Then Murray won Wimbledon in 2013. Becker has no need to apologise for anything. If winning those tournaments is "damage" that he caused, it was well worth it. In fact, if Murray had brought in Lendl earlier, he could have won more Grand Slams. Thank you Boris! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're wrong re top level but fear you could be correct. Time will tell I guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Murray having his comeback stunted by covid was probably the final nail for him st the very top level tbh. You cant stand still or go backwards at his stage of career with all the setbacks and still go back to the top. Not when there is the top guys still there plus the next crop of younger fitter and maybe hungrier guys you have to overcome too. Still, sum fucking boi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Watching Andy's greatest moments on BBC1 just now. The boy is just magnificent. 3 Grand Slams, 2 Olympic Golds, and he was World Number 1 in an era dominated by 3 of the 4 greatest players ever (Laver's record surely puts him in with a shout). Also a further 8 Grand Slam finals, and the only 2 players to beat him at that stage are Federer and Djokovic. He is Scotland's greatest ever sportsperson by a country mile, and if you disagree (a) you are wrong, and (b) you better start heading for Ruel Street, and you can pick your maw up on the way. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
