peasy23 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Pity, was really hoping Murray would get Wawrinka. He should beat Raonic ok, Nishikori has been in great form so that will be a tough match. Murray is more than capable of winning all 3 if he can hit top form.

John Lambies Doos Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Not a bad draw for murray. Capable of winning all three matches. Its really jokers to lose tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Tougher draw than it could have been. Federer over Djokovic is the better game for Murray, no doubt, but I think he would have picked the other two if he could. Wawrinka is a disaster right now and would be a preference to Nishikori, and he beat Cilic very comfortably recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Djoko will absolutely saunter through his group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Think he may have been better if he was in Djokovic's group as that way he would have avoided him in the semi-finals. It's quite likely he'll finish second and draw him in the semis now. Equally he could win his group and get a nice semi-final I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Novak got a nice draw, but to be honest I would have rather he missed Novak and faced Federer. I would have preferred Wawrinka over Nishikori and Cilic over Raonic but it isn't bad. Nishikori errors too much if given enough balls, so even if Murray decided to push all game I think he wins. Murray has fucked up in all matches lost against Raonic being a break up in all two he lost(not counting the clay match as Murray is so bad on clay). . He easily beat him in the major they faced. Could have been worse, but could have been easier. Having Wawrinka and Raonic, would have made the easiest group for Murray in my opinion. Nishikori up first for Murray, I can't see anything else for Murray, so hopefully it is Roger last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The GB v USA Davis Cup match will take place at Glasgow's Emirates Arena on 6-8 March next year. A temporary court will be put down with the capacity at just over 7,000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I would like to see him elect to serve first. When he wins the toss he always elects to receive. So come the end of the set at 5-4 it will be his opponent serving to save the set. Especially against better opponents. His first service % was too low to compete effectively today. Nishikori's service was very poor also but he attacked Murray's far more effectively. At times on second serve Murray steps in too far, instead of a full step even half a step inside the court would allow him more time for a better connection. To advance now he really needs to win both times with one match in straight sets. Murray went out with two wins in 09. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Roger Federer beat Milos Raonic in straight sets so Murray plays Raonic on Tuesday at 8pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Wawrinka destroys Berdych 6-1 6-1. Didn't see that coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrison Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Was reading Wawrinka has only lost once in 4 years against Berdych (in 8 meetings, I think), so the outcome might not be such a shock. That's emphatic, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah it was an utter doing. I switched it off in the second set as it was that one sided. He also gets beat by cilic and Djokovic rather easily too, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him lose all three. Wawrinka has been horrid since the US open, and it will be interesting to see if he can beat cilic. However the court is that slow he probably will beat cilic. Murray needs a performance tomorrow, raonic leads the head to head 3-1. Still undecided who I want to win between nishikori and Federer. Probably best if Roger wins. Would mean raonic could still qualify going into the last rubbers (if Murray was to beat raonic) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Watching a bit of this ATP finals lark. Andrew castle is an embarrasment, critising players he wouldnt even win a point against. And his jokes are sh1te. How this cretin keeps his job is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Watching a bit of this ATP finals lark. Andrew castle is an embarrasment, critising players he wouldnt even win a point against. And his jokes are sh1te. How this cretin keeps his job is beyond me. The BBC coverage is a joke, the only good person on it is Tim Henman. Sky coverage is far superior, but they still have Barry Cowan to bring their average down. But John Inverdale and Andrew Castle are very poor, don't give any tactical analysis into the match nor give any insight as to how a player could change their game plan to increase their chances of winning. Although I think John Inverdale is with ITV for their French Open coverage now. Nishikori played as poorly against Federer as he did against Murray but Federer kept his error count to a minimum and let Kei error away. A 6-3 6-2 victory helps Murray as if he was to get a win against Raonic in straight sets, it would mean than Raonic could still qualify by beating Nishikori in straight sets. In that scenario Murray could get through just by taking a set Vs Federer or losing two tight sets. Still think it is a bit harsh seperating players by games won and lost especially since it is largely dependent on who serves first. Nishikori lost as set today with one break 6-3. Murray lost both his sets by a break 6-4. I would like to see them seperated by breaks difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBud Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 John Inverdale has to be one of the most loathsome people on the planet. Complete c**t with zero redeeming features as far as I can tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Takes the first set with one break 6-3. Raonic not getting his serve firing yet. Hopefully Murray can get an early break in the second set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
