Jim McLean's Ghost Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The memorable is the Rio Gold medal game against Del Potro. A rollercoaster of a match. Murray seemed to have him put away so many times and Del Potro kept coming back at him and it seemed like destiny was against Murray. If it went to a fifth it looked like Del Potro could win on South American soil just like Murray did in London. Murray took the last game of the 4th set to close out an epic match. The multiple match points to close out his first Wimbledon is also unforgettable. 40-0 to deuce before seeig it out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeefc1783 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Shame to see him go out like this but what a career he has had. By no means a tennis fan but never wanted to see someone win the big one more than that. Gets a lot of shite re his personality but think he seems like a really decent guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 London 2012 Final for me - after the heartbreak of the Wimbledon final against Federer, he goes back to the same court against the same opponent, and just fucking smashes him, setting him off on the run through the US Open win and the first Wimbledon win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftk Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Gutted he never won more grand slams especially an Australian open. A true legend though and one of our greatest ever sportsmen. Arise Sir Andy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it would have been nice if he'd strolled it to double figures in slams, but the way in which he kept improving and coming back from crushing defeats in finals to finally win on the big stage made it all the sweeter. That US Open final against Djokovic in particular is something i'll never forget. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm not a tennis expert but what most impressed me about Murray is he got where he got to with sheer bloody hard work. You saw him gradually improve year on year and knew what you were seeing was genuine. Djokovic will always have doubts over him in my mind because of his incredible turn around in physique and form. Nadal too to an extent. Federer just has a natural talent, the b*****d, but Murray allied talent with graft. His matches were hard to watch though but how many times did we see him snatch victory from defeat? Without doubt the greatest British sportsman ever imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still regularly remind an absolute arsehole at my golf club of the day he told me Andy Murray would never win a Slam because he had neither the mental strength or the physical fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji38]Aye, I had a bet years ago with an Irish mate that Monty would win a major, when it was obvious he wouldn't we did a double or quits on Murray. He was adamant that Murray was a bottle job and would never win one. Needless to say no money was ever handed over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Although the press conference has dominated the news today, he did actually sit with the British press for half an hour after that. Few links in this tweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
