MONKMAN Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Raducanu has gone from complete obscurity, to one of the most marketable athletes on the planet in the space of a couple of months. A global superstar at 18 year old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rankings mean nothing currently due to the rules protecting players during COVID. Bencic and Sakarri would be top 10 without. As sad as Andrescu’s career has been since beating Serena two years ago, she only dropped those points on Monday. She’s been top ten throughout COVID despite rarely playing due to injury. She was where Emma is now, so hopefully nothing like that happens to her. She will be offered lots of money to play all the Chinese tournaments next year, plus she’ll be able to do post match interviews etc in mandarin. Anyway back to the grind of challenger circuit for the second most popular British player. Currently a set and a break up against Yannik Maden. Possible QF against Gasquet and SF against Gilles Simon if he makes it that far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Murray wins 6-3 6-1. Will play next round on Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 That’s now confirmed that Murray will play the Metz Open next week. I suspect he will then travel to America and play a 250 event before Indian Wells. Will need a wild card for Indian Wells. Emma Radacanu wasn’t in the top 108 when the cut off for entry was needed. If they give her a wild card she will be seeded 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Murray got drop shorted to death in the first set 6-2 and has pulled it back 6-4. Safiullin has now left court for a toilet break I have never seen this Russian play before I don’t think, but his drop shots are absolutely immense. Not the spectacular Paire reverse bouncing ones, but well executed. Good high quality match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Just seen he was pumped 1-6 in the final set. Was that a Challenger event as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Murray draws Humbert in the 1st round in Metz next week. Tough match although he always did like playing both lefties and Frenchmen. Needs a better service performance if he's to stand a chance though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Prime Video if you've got it under Moselle Open and replay of yesterday should be available. 3rd singles match on today so should be on about 5/6pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The tweaks he has made to his serve have really helped him. He will hit the serve before and after the ball has reached its peak in the toss. The toss isn't as far forward either. This dropped off at the tail end of the third set when he tired, but with more matches that will improve. San Diego next, then Indian Wells and then back to the scene of his last singles win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 A days rest before the QF. He will face the winner of Pouille Hurkacz. Hurkacz is the number one seed. When his first serve goes in, it’s almost unplayable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 A days rest before the QF. He will face the winner of Pouille Hurkacz. Hurkacz is the number one seed. When his first serve goes in, it’s almost unplayable. Hurkacz won 6-2, 6-3. He will play Murray in the second match on court tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 After another match of not taking his chances, he moves to San Diego where he will face Kei Nishikori in the first round with a second round tie against Casper Ruud if he advances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) Kei Nishikori withdrew so he played a Lucky Loser (Denis Kudla) and won it two easy sets. He now faces number two seed (Casper Ruud more a clay specialist) in the next round. In the most unexpected Wild Card news Emma Raducanu gets a wild card for Indian Wells. She would have needed to go through qualifying, as she was out with the ranking required for main draw when the cut off for entry was made.
