Donathan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Honestly, he could choose to ride off on the white horse today and spend time with his wife and kids and I'd completely understand it. If he doesn't fancy having surgery and rebuilding himself then I can't blame him one bit.Regardless of what we see out of him next year and in the future, he's had an absolutely amazing career and we are so lucky to have lived through it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that if there`s even a chance of one more sniff at a Slam he`ll go for it. Fantastic sportsman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray reminds me of a line from Indiana Jones, where he says "it's not the age honey, it's the mileage." He's probably ran farther both in training and in matches than most of the other top players, his body had to suffer for that at some point. Hopefully he can come back fully fit in the new year and get back to form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Dan Evans banned for one year for his positive test for cocaine. Ban is backdated to April 24th when he was first suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 They accepted Evans reasoning that some 'left over cocaine' got mixed in with his prescribed medication in his wash bag! Seems legit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 4 days after being caught he admitted taking it!Guess that's before he found out the amount in his system was low enough for him and the ITF to come up with some bs excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nadal got given a bit of a lesson by Federer earlier. Scary that it's been a whole year since Murray absolutely dominated these tournaments. Be interesting to see how he gets on in his charity match next month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I was surprised that was only the 23rd meeting in a final by Federer and Nadal. I know that's still a fairly high number, but it's only slightly more than Murray-Djokovic final meetings (19), and I'd have guessed considering how much longer the pair of them have been around (13 years of playing each other), and their respective levels of success, that it would have been quite a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Andy Murray will make tennis history next week by becoming the first ever player to lose 2500 ranking points in a week. He will drop from world number 3 to 15 or 16. Thanks to other people's injuries he should hold on to a top 16 seeding for Australia if he recovers. Although he could face Nadal or Federer in the last 16. It will be interesting to see how he plays against Federer next week. Although who will be third and fourth seed could be anyone. Australia could see a spectacular draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia could see a spectacular draw. Hard going trying to make a mental note of who will end up where. As far as i can make out Raonic and Isner both taking a hit and will drop outside the top 16, and I think Djokovic will be outside the top 8 as he sheds 1180 points. Could be some big games early on, especially in the last 32 & last 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Big del Potro back in the top ten as well. Should be a top eight seed in Australia. Could be carnage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine you shelled out top dollar for tickets months ago only to end up with this lot. Carreno Busta is first alternate if Nadal withdraws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Jack Sock vs Filip Krajinovic was a Masters 1000 final. We better get used to it. We have been unprecedentedly spoiled by tennis over last 10 years. Unfortunately this is coming to an end. We will undoubtedly see more masters finals like this over next 5 yrs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
