Loki Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Andy Murray’s wild card confirmed for Indian Wells. Even more exciting is the wild card for Kim Clijsters. Should be a fun tournament. Novak has pulled out, and potentially might not play the rest of the season but he’s expected to return for Paris and the Turin Finals. Looking to clinch a record 7th year end number one. Although Medvedev could thwart him if he goes on a Murray 2016 run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Murray has been drawn to face Mannarino in the First Round and meets Carlos Alcarez in the second if he gets through that. Likely to face Zverev in third round. Will be interesting to see how he does. He’s been working on his forehand, which should give him more first serve points. It looks like he will be gradually changing his game to finish more points at the net. First serve, forehand, volley, point won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 His wedding ring has been stolen. He had his trainers out on his balcony to air and they’ve been nicked. He always ties his wedding ring to his laces when he’s training and playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 If anyone fancies staying up, Raducanu vs Sasnovich is due on court 1 at 2am, followed by Murray vs Mannarino. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a reality check for the media who seemed to think she was some invincible robot and not an 18 y/o kid who hasn’t even had a full year on tour yet. No doubt everything fell her way at the US Open but she's still got plenty to learn going forward. However Andy had comfortable win so he’s not ready for this topic to be renamed anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Norrie made that harder than it should have been. Won the first set 6-4, lost the second 7-5, then served up a bagel to win the 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Women’s tennis is incredibly different to men’s in that there is a lot more variety in the types of playing styles. So absolutely agree with you there. Until you encounter these players you don’t know how to counter them. Five weeks ago it would have been a loss you would have expected. But one dream run later and there is a certain burden of expectation when she plays. Murray should be playing Alcaraz tonight about 8.30pm. Alcaraz is the favourite but quite fancy Murray to get it done and move into the Third Round. The winner will play the winner of Brooksby Zverev. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Murray list the first set 7-5, won the second 6-3, and broke serve on the opening game of the third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Comes through in the end 6-2. Really superb result for him, best result since beating Zverev last year. Some really good variety from Murray, with an underarm serve, serve and volley on match point. Alcaraz had some lovely shots and can hit a drop shot sublimely. His power from a short swing is impressive. Brooksby and Zverev are going to a final set, and Murray will have chances against both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I see tennis crowds still not having the underarm serves. I genuinely don't see the fuss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Another good tournament from Murray, but he was never getting past Zverev.Even better tournament from Cam Norrie who’s in the semi final after beating Schwartzman in the quarters. He will play Dimitrov or Hurkacz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 He’s drawn to play Frances Tiafoe in the First Round, and then second seed Diego Schwarzman if he progresses. His points from 2019 finally dropped so he’s now about 170 in the world. Not sure on his schedule for the rest of the season but I’d imagine he would look to play the 500 and then the Paris Masters. He’s stated that he wouldn’t be playing in the Davis Cup, he did say he thought he wouldn’t be selected anyway as Evans and Norrie deserve it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
