Arsehole Aye Andrew, he’s chosen to miss 3 years of competitive tennis as he just thinks he’s injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I am glad I pay my Amazon subscription and don’t have to put up with Andrew Castle. He’s only there for the two week casuals. I thought Murray was fine today, decent movement, tactically he’s still very much there. First serve went missing at times, but that’s just the usual. Paire was Paire. Some outrageous shots followed by utter guff. Good that he was out of there in just over an hour. Berretini next. A good test against the number one seed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only met twice, mind, but Murray's record on the surface is pretty outstanding. 84% win rate, 85% at Wimbledon, 2 slams, 1 slam runner-up, 1 Olympics and 5 wins at Queens, plus 2 singles and a doubles win in a Davis Cup semi final. Another closely connected stat is that 9 of his 46 singles titles have been won in London - those grass titles, plus the ATP Final. Unfortunately not true. Federer defeated him 7-6 7-6 6-4 in the 2007 US open final (Djokovic's first major final) and Rafa beat him 6-0 6-2 7-5 at Roland Garros last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 What is true though is that Murray is the only man outside of the big 3 to have beaten any of them in straight sets in a Grand Slam final. And he did it twice if you count the Olympics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 That’s two cracking wins for Draper. Fully deserves his wild card for Wimbledon. Andy Murray also confirmed as a wild card recipient. Venus Williams gets one on the women’s side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Quite impressed with Draper there, played some lovely shots. Kept his head well at the end after losing his serve while trying to close it out, and then his opponent having a bit of a heads gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Berretini was pretty good, his last grass season he won Stuttgart, made the semi final in Halle and lost to Federer at Wimbledon. So he certainly knows how to play. His serve was at a level even peak Murray would have struggled with. If he wants to get more games he should take a wild card into Eastbourne. His level currently looks about top 20-50, he will need a lot of help in the Wimbledon draw if he is to do some damage there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
