Esteban Carril watched the match, it's thought he will be joining Murray's coaching team next year. He beats Sinner 7-6, 6-3. Excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 He was superb. Great win and will be favourite against Tommy Paul in the quarters. A really positive couple of matches back to back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Aye he wasn't really at it yesterday. Paul was hitting through him a lot and seemed to punish every short ball in the 3rd set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Another good tournament, did well against the young American but came up short.That will be him in terms of ATP tournaments for the year. Maybe an exhibition in Dubai upcoming and then that ‘battle of the brits’ knock up in December in Aberdeen.Aussie Open the next big one at the end of January. I feel that’s the major he’s most likely to get a run in next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I think much of yesterdays poorer performance was fatigue, he’s been playing every week since September just about. Three matches in three days, seemed to catch him out. I’m pretty confident that a good off season, and some slight adjustments to serve and forehand and he will be able to Climb the rankings. He has no points to defend until June. Top 20 isn’t beyond him as long as he stays healthy. Australia could be a funny Slam as only double vaccinated players will get a VISA. If they aren’t vaccinated now, they will be running out of time to receive the second dose before flying out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say now, I just didn't see Zverev as being a possible world No. 1. I thought his second serve was terrible (worse than even 'The Girny Loons' one). And it was so prone to doubles in windy or pressure situations. His chokes against Thiem in the US Open also had me convinced that he just wouldn't quite make it to the very top. He's now knocking off big players with fairly convincing wins on a regular basis, so I'm going to eat a bit of humble pie and admit that he may well be the next big thing. That said, he's not without challengers, I like the looks of Berretini and Sinner and if Thiem can keep injury free, he might still be the man. I still think that Auger-Aliassime (sp) could be special but he seems to have stalled (that's possibly a bit harsh) but I don't feel he's progressing as quickly as say Berretini. I don't think I've ever seen Casper Ruud play, so can't comment, but he's top 10 I think, so can't be all bad. Much though I've loved watching Federer, Nadal & Djokovic, I do see this next period of tennis as a changing of the guard and I'm looking forward to it. Finally, just to add to my tennis credentials; in absolutely NO WAY did I see the rise of Norrie into even the top 50, let alone top 20 and nearly TOP 10!

Loki Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I think a lot of Zverev’s problems with the second serve was a change in trying to hit two first serves. He’s now at a point where he finds himself in a service rhythm and he just fires out two first serves constantly. His plus one shot after the serve is as good as anyones, he can lace it with forehand or backhand. I don’t think he adapts to conditions or change in strategies, so I think a cleverer player will give him trouble. But with his service so damn good now, there will be less opportunity. That Turin court was so fast. Casper Ruud is a good player but he is largely there as he went through the clay court tournaments post Wimbledon and won four in four weeks. Tennis starts again for Murray on December 16th as he is playing in The Middle East. QF against Thiem, winner plays Nadal. Think it’s Rublev, Ruud and Shapo in the other half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
