H_B Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I thought Dent would put up a bit more of a fight, specially as he was playing in front of his nation in a prime time slot. Unfortunately he isn't very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 After cursing Zvonoreva for failing to win in two sets I settled down for what was a thoroughly entertaining and quite routine win. Some of the service returns by Muray were breathtaking. 143mph serve? Watch it go back past you before you're five feet into the court. Ouch. Cilic is a crafty player and should cause problems, but I hope the match isn't last again. I'm almost hallucinating today through lack of sleep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 After cursing Zvonoreva for failing to win in two sets I settled down for what was a thoroughly entertaining and quite routine win. I had bet on Pennetta, so was delighted On the time note though, there have been a number of people questioning why Federer was allowed to be first match on, whereas all the other mens matches, including Roddick and Murray have followed the womens match. They had thought early on with the Federer decision that there had been a change, whereby the schedule would alternate night to night between woman first, man second and vice versa. Now it is obvious why they don't do this (the women would be playing in front of a crowd of about 23 if they did), but why did they do it once for Federer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Andy Murray faces the number sixteen seed from Croatia, Marin Cilic in the 4th Round tonight. Three previous meetings, all won by Murray. Will be tough though, as Cilic is good on hard courts and is a battler. Should be on court around 8-8.30 p.m. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryfield Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Murray is making a funny noise when serving sometimes. Doing well so far against Cilic, 3-2 up 1st set. That's some tennis arena. Edited September 8, 2009 by IHGH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 One set down. Far too passive again, needs to take the match by the balls instead of waiting for Cilic to mess up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewartyMac Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Double break in the 2nd set To be fair, Cilic is returning the ball better than I've ever seen him, but Murray's making way too many unforced errors for a player of his class. Looks like he's gonnae have to come from 2 sets down if he's gonna make the quarters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'm not watching this any more. Murray almost never does well when I watch. Generally I only see about a set of each match I watch. So I'm hiding from the tv again. But I don't think the "passive" criticism applies here. Surely if he was not playing aggressively enough, we would see some of those loooong rallies. We're not seeing very many of them, I reckon Cilic is just dealing with him well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 What's this gadge Cilic's fitness like? Good, he's a young guy, who came through a five setter after being 2 sets down in the 2nd Round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubs Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 He put him away straight sets at the French on clay, this can only be a mental thing from Murray. Worrying though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cilic is even less of a clay courter than what Murray is though. This surface is probably his best too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
