Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat


Bryan

Recommended Posts

I turned it on when Paire was 4-2 up in the second and Andy got it back to 5-5 with some great first serves.  It's at the stage now where if Andy has to 2nd serve, you can pretty much guarantee he's losing the point.

Wimbledon has to be it now, surely.

I don't think he has much interest in a farewell tour and walking off at Wimbledon, can see him just canning it whenever he decides he's had enough, which might be very soon given who he's losing to and how he's doing so.

Noticed him clapping back at both Liam Broady and Kheridine Idessane on Twitter over the past week or two. Very unlike him and clearly frustrated at the current situation. 

Saw his reply to Isamadman earlier, only thing I would query is that nowadays there is a big gulf between what Andy believes he can do on court and what he can physically do.

That's where you're going wrong, m8.

I think that’s been the case for about 3 years.

Kheredine should pipe down the baldy banger. Would he even have a job if the BBC hadn't needed someone to report on Murray's career the past 20 years? 

He's been periodically churning out the same article ever since Murray's return from the hip surgery. Where he crossed a line this time is the bit about 'tarnishing his legacy'. Aye, I used to think it was great that Andy Murray won two Wimbledons and was world number one in the toughest era in the history of men's tennis, but after seeing him lose to Benoit Paire in the first round at Montpellier it's knocked the shine right off. WTF Kheredine?

I respect Murray more for what he's been doing, not less. It's hard enough to flog your body in pursuit of three legends when you're on you're way up, but doing it at 36 years old with nothing to prove and no real prospect of success shows a level of determination I can't comprehend.

I fully agree. People have been trying to retire him for 5 years. It's so disrespectful, no wonder he's annoyed by it.

Kind of. He was beating top 10 players last year so he can still clearly do it in a one off match, just not consistently like he used to.
