Loki Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Generally in doubles a good team defend the centre of the court extremely well, as a doubles player doesn’t really have the passing shot in their repertoire.Murray and López lost easy points being unable to defend the middle as competently as their opponents, but they were passed time after time.The angles on the volleys were far superior too. Think Jamie will regret not teaming up with Andy this summer.Only seen a little bit of tonight’s match. Murray mugged Evans off with a trademark lob in the game just before it stopped.He looks pretty sharp, the serve motion is better, doesn’t appear in pain. Hopefully the hip can hold up to the rigours of singles play.With a bad hip he was still able to beat Wawrinka, Edmund and Goffin last year. Plenty to be positive about.Seems to be a lot of people wanting to play mixed doubles with him too. Great partner for the doubles, grass court specialist and should give Federer a good match tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Murray's partner Lopez just played his singles semi which he won, straight on to finishing off his doubles Q final with Murray, and is now playing the Semi with Murray straight after. Don't think he's even been for a pish. Might give him a break from thinking about the corruption allegations though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I bet on that match that is in question. The team they played were outsiders, however Feli retired injured the day before. Mannarino absolutely scudded him in sets two and three, and he retired in the fourth. He could barely move.The bookies didn’t change their odds quick enough. Although I’d be interested to see how much money was going on in play.Anyway they took the first set 7-5 and are looking pretty sharp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Lopez is Queen's champ! Still has the doubles final to play as well. What a week it's been for him regardless of the result to come in the doubles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Still difficult to judge how he'd be in singles as rallies last considerably longer and you have to move a lot more but the touch and serve are definitely still there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he's not too knackered to give that girlfriend of his a good seeing to tonight. He deserves it. And she's like a young Penelope Cruz. Would love to see Murray teaming up with Lopez again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
