Loki Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If Croatia have half a brain they will elect for clay. Murray absolutely hates changing surfaces due to injury risk, and as result by electing for clay there would be a high chance of a withdrawal. GB without Murray on clay would get beat 4-1 at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Murray is in Nadal's half of the Monte Carlos Maters. However he could face a potentially tricky Second Round tie against Tommy Haas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Haha I can't read, his potential second round opponent is Robin Haase. Still tricky as he has beaten Murray before and was two sets up in US Open two years ago, but not as tricky as Tommy Haas. Although Haase is a set and a break down to Eduaord Roger-Vasselin. Murray has played him once and cruised through teh match in straight sets. Shouldn't pose a threat at all.

TheScarf Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yeah Roger-Vasselin made it through. Murray potentially has Tsonga-Nadal-Djokovic. Can't see him dethroning Nadal tbh. Strangers things and all that though.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It was nice to see Andy's brother Jamie win the mens doubles with Peers in the US Clay Court Championship. Murray/Peers beat the Bryan brothers in the final 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 12-10. It looks like Djokovic will be fit to play in Monte Carlo against Youzhny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Is it Wednesday Andy starts? Yes. Then a match per day after that. (hopefully.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 He is last on court tomorrow so should be on around 3pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Djokovic beats Youzhny 4-6 6-1 6-4. Murray against Roger-Vasselin is just about to start and the winner will play Wawrinka in the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Stan the Man next for Murray. Unfortunately Murray is Wawrinka's bitch on clay. But Murray looked in control yesterday and looks more convincing on the red stuff. Had to laugh yesterday about Murrays time violation, which he got whilst waiting for Roger-Vaseline to stop pissing about with his racket. Murray made a good point when he said the umpire and line judges need to watch both players for time violations. And that you're not allowed to serve if your opponent isn't ready, which Roger Vaseline wasn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Was saying to a colleague earlier, when do you ever see Nadal, Djokovic or Federer lose as convincingly as that? That's an absolute dicking. The only time I can think of when one of them lost like that was in 2009 when Nadal lost 6-2 6-2 6-2 to Del Potro at the US Open. He'll bounce back in Madrid though and probably go deep in the draw, that's a nap if ever there was one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazzi Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Wawrinka's working with Magnus Norman now, isn't he? One to watch, that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Murray's had a lot of trouble in the past from Wawrinka. Stan can be a really good player when he wants to be. Which is usually against anyone not called Roger Federer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
