Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat

Federer in Semis if he beats Baghdatis or Coric. I think Murray needs to win the tournament if he wants to hold on third place as Nadal looks a shoe-in for the Buenos Aires tournament. I know the difference between third and fourth is minimal but I would like to see Murray try and get at Federer for second in the rankings. He has a great chance to earn some ranking points in the Masters this year as he was crap/unlucky in them last year.

Next up for Murray is lucky loser Borna Coric who recovered from a 1-4 down in the 3rd set against Marcos Baghdatis.

Baghdatis retired at 6-6(4/4) in the tie-break due to cramping after nearly three hours of play.

Murray has only played Coric once and that was a Davis Cup match against Croatia when Coric was only 16.

It will be the first time they will have played each other since Coric's comment last year that when he's at his best he plays like Djokovic and when he's at his worst he plays like Murray.

I take it Coric played like Djokovic today then! You just know Federer will beast Coric tomorrow. Coric is going to be the next big thing, never mind your Raonic, Dimitrov etc.

Disappointing loss as he should be looking to cement his top three status, but Rafa has already overtaken him. Nishikori could also overtake him again this week. Meaning he could face Novak in the quarters of the two Masters events that he has a good chance of winning. Indian Wells and Miami. Luckily for Murray he doesn't really have much points to defend at this part of the season, but he really should be looking to be top four going into the Clay Court season as he has a SF to defend at Roland Garros.

Haha he was atrocious. He also had his career worst performance at returning today by winning only 14% of points. That's John Isner standard. Someone couldn't be fucked playing I think!

That was grim. You could tell first game of the match he wasn't feeling it. He started doing that looping forehand he sometimes does that lands in the centre of the court, right in every professional male tennis players strike zone.
