Elixir Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Perfect! Not good news, though. Doesn't fill me with any confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the split is such a big deal. Guess it depends who replaces Lendl. I suspect at least part of the reason for split is Lendl looking to plan ahead while Murray`s return to being competitive at the top level is uncertain.

Elixir Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I wonder if part of him wants to prove that he can win the big ones without Lendl? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Magnus Norman is a free agent. Magnus Norman is a far better coach than Lendl. The news of the split doesn't really bother me. I thought the last stint was more of a placebo effect than anything. Delgado had turned it around on the clay court after Mauresmo was fired. At Queens and Wimbledon he only played guys he would be expected to beat. At the Olympics Lendl wasn't there. He was there at the US Open, and then turned up at the ATP Finals. Considering Djokovic, Nadal and Federer were all struggling physically or mentally, is it a surprise he was to put that kind of run together? This year he was at the Aus Open, MIami, French Open and the grass season. The last stint ended with Murray recovering from injury, I don't think Lendl likes hanging about, he'd rather go play golf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acastus Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Goffin beat Federer in 3 sets. I was tempted to bet on Goffin at 7/1 but shat it. Played Fed off the court great performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Oaft. That's some result. I hope Dimitrov wins it because he's a hunky dreamboat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Jack Sock vs Filip Krajinovic was a Masters 1000 final. And the World Tour final is between Goffin and Dimitrov or Sock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Get used to it. If Djokovic and Murray are finished now, then in a year or two when Fed and Nadal are done then you’re going to have the men’s tour being like the women’s tour where a guy wins a slam then gets put out the next one in round 1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 So if you want to watch the main ATP tourneys from 2019 then you will need an Amazon subscription. Amazon will broadcast men's elite tennis from 2019 to show 37 ATP Tour events - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/42014694 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that he sold his Miami apartment and hasn't bought anything new out there - that'll be a big change to his yearly preparation if he's not going to train in Florida. Of course, could just mean he took a good deal while he can get one (made something like £750k profit on it) and will rent somewhere nearby. But I dunno. Injuries, kids, already won most tournaments, reached #1 and made millions. You couldn't really blame him if he does hang it all up soon.
