Any idea when we last played without Andy or Jamie in the team? Not a clue mate but for a long long time those two have been the only players we’ve had. At the moment we have a good and a decent singles player and a more than decent doubles partnership I genuinely think we have a shot of winning this. As a team it’s pretty strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a team it’s pretty strong.Must admit I wasn't that confident about Norrie a few years ago but he's struck a rich vein of form at the moment. It's a pity Evans by his own admission didn't work as hard as he should have when he was younger, then obviously had the cocaine ban. He should have done more as he obviously does have talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Went to the Russia-Ecuador match last night. Medvedev is something else, his backhand is fantastic. Rublev is a weird guy, seemed to be constantly rattled both in his singles and doubles matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Didn’t see any of the matches but that looks like a proper minter against Germany. Total bottle job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Even a couple of years ago it would have been completely unthinkable that a GB team without Andy Murray would be competitive in the Davis cup. Fair play to the team for almost making the semi finals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea when we last played without Andy or Jamie in the team? It would be at the start of Leon Smith’s reign, Andy stated that he would only play if GB were in the World Group, and Jamie’s double ranking had fallen dramatically. The unlikely 3-2 comeback victory against Russia in 2013 had neither. Murray then returned for the World Group playoff before getting his back surgery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Andy Murray has parted ways with Jamie Delgado it seems. He was more influential in that 2016 period than Lendl IMO. The fine tuning of the second serve on clay to make the French Open Final set him up for the rest of the year. Great partnership but felt it ran its course more than a year ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Andy Murray has a comfortable win against Dan Evans 6-3 6-2 and tomorrow will play Rafa Nadal. Always a fun matchup to watch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Andy Murray lost a tight match to Andrey Rublev, the quickness of the court probably favoured Andrey. Good three matches for Murray. He’s using a different size of raquet head. That may help him next season. More alarming, Rafa Nadal tested positive for COVID today. So would likely have picked it up in Abu Dhabi. His recovery should be swift, but might not be able to play in Australia. Murray played with him and practised with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Murray’s wild card for the Australian Open has been confirmed, he was going to go and play qualifiers if he wasn’t going to get one. Starts 17th January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Wonder what possible medical exemption an elite athlete has. Being an anti vax crank presumably isn’t it.Suspected the Aussie authorities would cave and let him play, but still a disappointing. Expect him to thrive off the crowd boos and win the tournament now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
