JMDPco Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Murray is some boi. I was at the Madrid Open last week, saw a cracker of a match as Thiem lost in 3 sets to Tsitsipas followed by Sakkari winning in 3 sets. Session started at 8 and didn't finish til near enough 2am - shame as the second match emptied for folk getting the metro home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if he’s formally announced it but he will be - all these clay court tournaments are him getting warmed up for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t need to announce it, his ranking gets him automatic enrolment into the tournament. He would need to announce a withdrawal. He’ll be disappointed with his loss to Fognini, but Fognini followed that up with another great win today. Fognini is always a great watch, you just never know what Fognini you’ll get. The clown or the king. Murray might even turn up in an event next week. The sole aim is to get seeded by Wimbledon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Andy Murray, as 2nd seed, gets a bye in R1 in the Bordeaux challenger next week. R2 is potentially Wawrinka if he overcomes a qualifier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hopefully today's result means he switches to grass. No real point risking his body in a best of 5 on the clay at this stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Officially out of Rolland Garros to focus on Wimbledon. I wonder if he’s going to call it a day at Wimbledon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's seen rafa admit defeat and tbh, what realistically could he still achieve? A victory at a major tournament (Slam or masters series) is beyond him now. He got to the top 50,could he get to the top 32 and be seeded at Wimbledon or US open? Possible but unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I think he'll give it one more year then finish up at the 2024 Wimbledon. He seems to be tweeting a lot more these days, especially about fatherhood, I think this is the start of the wind down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First main draw appearance at Roland Garros for his opponent too. Djokovic and Alcaraz strolled through their ties yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The realistic best goal would probably be Davis cup related given Norris’s quality and the abundance of decent doubles players. Lleyton Hewitt only played DC at the end of his career IIRC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few around him will be collecting ranking points at the French open though so makes it that bit more difficult to climb the ranking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Clayvedev strikes again Famous Dimitri quotes about the red stuff 'I don't want to play on this stupid surface' - 'my game doesn't suit clay, i hate everything around me' Looking like the winner of an Alcaraz v Djokovic semi final will win the trophy. Bottom half of the draw more open, probably be Sinner or Ruud in the final against one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he gets through the warm up tournaments injury free and can have a go at making the 2nd week at Wimbledon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jives Miguel Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Djokovic in being a fucking knobber again shocker https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/65764399 Edited May 31, 2023 by Jives Miguel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR74 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Sinner hanging on here a bit in the fifth set. Three tiebreaks (so far) and over five hours played. Delighted to see Alcaraz v Shapovalov getting the nod for the evening match tomorrow. Could be great Friday night viewing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Mental to me that Djokovic now holds the record for most quarter final appearances at RG given that Rafa has won it so many times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
