lichtie23 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Dan Evans. Hopefully he's Diego Maradona'd up to his eyebals, as he plays Istomin.Oh dear. Hopefully Edmund can win both his matches and the doubles team (Murray and ?) get the job done on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-coo-shed Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm off to it on Sunday. Probably the last time I'll get to see something similar in Scotland. GB should win the tie pretty comfortably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Dan Evans takes the first set 7-6. Play has been pretty solid on serve. Match is pretty boring.Evans wins the first eight points in the second set to go 2-0 up with an early break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Norrie 2 sets to 1 up but missed out on a match point in the 3rd set tie break. I know it's essentially a friendly against an unfashionable opponent, but the crowd looks really poor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, you are not the sole arbiter of what is offensive Well yes, exactly, and neither are you, nor Serena, nor Salman Rushdie, nor Zuckerberg, nor anyone. I suggest that totalitarian ideologues operating under victimhood/saviour complexes aren't the best go-to arbiters of choice, if there are to be arbiters.

I would also counter that not being black puts you at a disadvantage in judging what a section of society finds offensive. I am absolutely playing the ball in the game being played, as the ball has been turned into 'the man' under identity politics. See the trap identity politics sets for yourself - you've no idea what skin colour I have nor ethnicity I am, yet have referred to this twice now. Play the ball not the man, I thought? Tell me what this e.g. 'black section of society' monolith finds offensive, or are individual e.g. black people allowed their own opinions outside of this hivemind of how 'Progressives' expect and demand e.g. black people to think and take offense? Rather racist stereotyping! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Andy Murray starts his Asian campaign on Monday against Zhizhen Zhang a fellow Wild card entry (both currently ranked in the 300s). The winner to play Goffin in round 2 and then a potential match against Verdasco if he was to get that far. He will then play the Beijing Open and then that will be the end of his season. He will then have a prolonged pre-season to get him ready for Australia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted entry he could have used his protected ranking, but he is definitely not playing those events PR allows you to enter thirteen events directly. As far as I know he has only done this once at the US Open. All other events he has been offered a Wild Card. Himself and Wawrinka are in a great position where they will be offered Wild Cards due to their reputation and what they have done for Tennis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 With Del Potro turning 30 today and Cilic turning 30 later this month, for the first time in the Open Era there will not be a slam winner in their 20s come October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
