H_B Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Albeit I'm gonna go for a slightly more serious tone throughout! That was me being serious I am particularly irritated by their deliberate attempts to muddy the waters, by playing the "we're sorry not everyone could get a ticket " card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 On top of this I heard that the ticket website briefly opened on Monday evening allowing people to purchase tickets for a limited time. I would be suspicious but the overall incompetence of the LTA suggests it wasn't deliberate. It was like this for the previous round with the crap code and lack of BTM tennis membership number requirements. If Scotland tickets went on sale in this manner there would be chaos. It's incredible really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's incredible really. Someone I work with got an email saying "There's a problem with your order" and it was something to do with 3 day tickets not working right. When she contacted the ticket factory yesterday.. they were able to give her new tickets.. in a different part of the venue, as she'd said "actually, while I'm here, the Friday tickets I have aren't in the North Stand like my Sat/Sun ones - they're Cat 3 tickets in the back corner" "No problem" they said "We can sort that - here's 4 tickets in the Cat A section for you..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThePirate Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Andy faces Kyrigos in the first round of the US open.. That's potentially the toughest draw he could've got. All depends on which Kyrgios turns up. Still fancy Murray in straight sets though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Jeez of all the first round matches to get. Albeit the crowd are gonna be on Murray's side and he's pretty imperious at the US when he wants to be, so he should win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie95 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'm not sure how the Davis cup looks but can someone please tell me what I can expect to see on the Saturday? pretty sure it's doubles on the Saturday! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie95 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah it is - will he not be with Jamie ? aye it was Andy and Jamie's last time!! Could also see Hewitt if he's doing it as he tends to do the doubles! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC90 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Wawrinka potentially in the quarters is a stinker too. Wawrinka has been dross since the French. Wouldn't surprise me to see him red lining against Murray though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Wawrinka potentially in the quarters is a stinker too. Not on current form. All the players he could have drawn in the quarter final look pretty weak at the moment. Wawrinka is off the boil at the moment, Nishikori seems to have a few fitness doubts, and the likes of Berdych, Ferrer and Nadal will be easy meat for the top 3 at the moment. If he gets past Kyrgios, which he should, I think it'll be relatively straightforward until the semis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to keep harping on about this issue but there was an article in the Herald with quotes from Viagogo who were unsurprisingly unapologetic about reselling saying it was perfectly legal (ignoring the T&Cs). Out of interest I went on their site to see what was available for Scotland's upcoming games. The site blocked me from viewing anything. Even then all I could see in the greyed out area was Georgia v Scotland. It would appear it's not difficult to deal with reselling, and it's not difficult to put substantially better controls on the sales process. If there was any accountability whatsoever at the LTA someone might actually have to answer for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wawrinka is the only one though that at the top of his game (assuming Nadal will never reach his previous heights) could cause Murray serious problems in the quarters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I am looking forward to watching Wawrinka Murray if they both make it through. They normally have great matches. The last time they played was immediately before Murray's back surgery. Wawrinka has been out of sorts all year apart from in the Slams, so he might not make it. The most interesting first round ties are Coric Vs Nadal and Murray Vs Kyrgios. The two most promising youngsters against the experienced pros. From reading the previous posts about the LTA I feel sorry for any one that went to previous ties (especially the Euro-Africa zone matches) and doesn't get a ticket for this. In reality they don't really care as all the tickets get sold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Anyone know if murray will play monday or Tuesday- or Wednesday(I believe some us open first rounds are played on 3rd day)? Id also imagine he will prob get night match on Louis, based on him being previous champ and having probably the most exciting 1st round clash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
