peasy23 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Watching a documentary on BBC Alba just now on Elena Baltacha. Really fascinating and good to see Sergei senior and junior. Young Sergei had a spell at Petershill, he was plagued with injuries but he was a smashing big guy, and when he was fit he was a cracking player. I'm going for the tears and snotters double and watching Doddie Weir after this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Very hard to watch at the end. You just wonder how much more she could have achieved in her playing career if she hadn't had to put up with that liver complaint, she certainly wasn't lacking in competitive spirit. An absolute tragedy, 30 is no age at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Murray out of Australian Open. Disappointing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Sensationalist headlines - he wasn't even in the Australian Open to start with. Once he pulled out of the ATP Cup he was never playing best of five straight in. I can only echo what others have said above - the documentaries on both Murray and Baltacha were fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Crazy that this was allowed to go ahead tbh. As a few folk have mentioned in the replies, that's gross negligence from the organisers. The daily air quality report was very poor, with the advice not to exercise outdoors, yet they thought going ahead wuth the qualifiers was a good idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Murray may need another operation on his hip. He admits to being pessimistic about his future - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/51637714 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just call it a day, no one wants to see him slogging about with guys he would have swatted aside in his prime, and he doesn't need the cash. Have whatever hip surgery he needs to live as a "normal" 30-odd year old bloke and decide what's the next stage of his life, coaching / punditry / something outside tennis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Murray coming back and winning Queen's doubles and then European Open were great moments. No shame in calling it a day if he has to. He gave it a great go and it wasn't guaranteed that he'd ever come back even close to where he was. Performing in an era with 3 GOATs and coming out with the level of success he's had is nothing short of spectacular. What a man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 According to the German tennis federation, there will be a board meeting at the All England club tomorrow and they will then announce that Wimbledon will be completely cancelled this year. As it's on grass they would have a very limited window when it could be played, and the French have already jumped to rearrange their Open for just after the US Open.The ATP aren't happy with the French as their new dates clash with tournaments already on the calendar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
