Distant Doonhamer Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Ha very true! Honestly think its just a matter of time before Mueresmo is on her way out Certainly looked odd the other night with her sitting apart from team Murray. He should kidnap Becker from Djokovic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I would love to see Becker work with some one else. It would be interesting to see if he could bring about such a great improvement in a lesser player. If Becker could improve Murray's serve as much as he did with Djokovic they would split matches most of the time. I am not sure how much longer the Murray-Mauresmo coaching relationship has got left. Wouldn't be surprised to see them part during the clay court season if Murray under performs. He will want to be ready for the grass. Although he is now doing his clay pre season, I wouldn't be shocked to see him win another Masters on clay. Federer and Murray will likely trade off the second and third rankings during the clay season. Although if Federer can't quickly recover from his knee injury he might give Murray some leeway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmca Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I'm sure there was talk a couple of months back that Murray was going to add another coach to the existing team round about the end of March. Certainly feel as if Mauresmo doesn't quite have enough to take him that extra step to challenge Djokovic consistently. Lot of the younger guys also now looking as if they could be dangerous in the slams for the top players, so Murray has some work to do over the next few months if he wants to keep his current standing in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The draw for the Monte Carlo Masters is out and Murray got a mixed draw. He should be playing Pella/Qualifier, Paire, Berdych, Nada/Wawrinka, Djokovic. Murray has never beaten Berdych or Wawrinka on clay but he never used to bother his arse on clay most of the time. Although Berdych has Raonic in his quarter. Stan and Rafa have quite the difficult path to advance. Nadal will potentially face Rosol and Thiem to make the QF. Rosol fanously beat Nadal at Wimbledon and Thiem has already beaten Nadal on clay this season. Wawrinka has a potential clash with Coric or an improved Dimitrov to make the QF. Dimitrov has won the last three meetings with Stan. The other Brit in the draw Bedene faces Rosol in the first round for the opportunity to face Nadal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Vesely beats Djokovic in three sets. Berdych lost to Dzumhur who plays Raonic in the next round. Andy Murray partnered Dominic Inglot in the doubles today and they advanced to the QFs, they could face Nadal/Verdasco or the US Open champions Herbert/Mahut. Andy Murray will play Benoit Paire tomorrow. Benoit Paire is an absolute enigma, all the skills to beat anyone, beat the attitude to ensure losing to almost everyone. If the good Paire turns up it should be a cracking match with a lot of variety. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 He's got the job done - 2-6 7-5 7-5. He clawed back 2 breaks in the second set and Paire served for the match in the third as well. He's no where near his best just now, but the spirit is still there and his match fitness seems to be getting better all the time. A couple of lulls in this match, but came back strongly. Raonic tomorrow in the quarter final. He's just won his match in a third set tie breaker too, so both men will likely be feeling the affects of his tough match too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-coo-shed Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If he gets past Raonic tomorrow, that's a great result. Will hopefully give him a major boost. Really enjoying the clay court games. Always forget how good it is. It's just drop shot after drop shot. Very different to the hard courts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) After yesterday's scare, he's absolutely cruising against Raonic. 6-2, 5-0 so far. It's finishined 6-2 6-0 5 breaks of serve for Murray, none for Raonic. Extremely impressive. Edited April 15, 2016 by Kyle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
