Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat

Recommended Posts

No surprise Murray dropping out he isn’t fit enough. Wee testimonial match with his brother in the doubles to say goodbye.

Goffin gets his spot against Mahac.

Andy should concentrate his efforts on getting fit for a final bow at the US Open which, despite what the Wimbledon obsessed British media tell us, was the scene of his greatest triumph in 2012.

Even though he's said he won't  much beyond the Olympics? I agree about flushing meadows being his greatest triumph though

No doubt about that. Much harder to win a slam that isn’t your home one where you’ve got virtually 100% backing from the crowd on every point.

It did occur to me that he might do that, although you also get the sense that he knows he's not competitive anymore in the singles, so maybe the doubles at Wimbledon and the Olympics will do him.

I remember that brilliant 2012 USO win mainly for how windy it was, and the camera going to Sean Connery in the stand quite a lot.  Must rewatch it sometime.

Impressive from Raducanu. 

Best I've seen her play since she won the US open. If she and Andy stay fit they could really contend in that mixed doubles draw.

Really enjoyed Sinner-Berattini. Some great stuff there.

This is the first non-Covid year we've not gone for a day at Wimbledon since 2016. To think we didn't even apply for tickets when there's a Scotfest on Centre Court with Jacob Fearnley up against Jock Ovitch and the Murray Gang in the doubles.

And he's taken a set off Djokovic. He's two one down still, but well in the match. Djokovic clearly not moving right, unsurprisingly given he had surgery a couple of weeks ago.

And he's performing excellent, going toe to toe with Djokovic in the rally's and beating him. 

Regardless of how this goes, he's been awesome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏

People question why Kroos is retiring at the top of his game but when you watch Murray these days it's the perfect argument for it.

 

It's a shame that he got injured at his peak and wasn't able to retire anywhere close to the top of his game.

What a career though, any clips of him winning or losing grand slams will always make me greet a wee bit.

Should they not wait until he's actually finished though before the send off?
