Loki Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 And then the other Nick Kyrgios turns up and promptly loses five games in a row. [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I like Nick Kyrgios and Tsitsipas but I kind of support Medvedev, De Minaur, Murray, Evans, Krajinovic and Chung so hoping Medvedev can win the tournament this week. The worry is that Kyrgios is hard to stop when in this mood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Even in the deciding set you seen the two Kyrgios’. Superb tennis to move a double break 5-1 lead and then goes a mini break and match point down by losing five points in a row.Absolute box office. Gets coaching advice from a fan on his match point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-coo-shed Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Really enjoyed Kyrgios this week. Love him or hate him, he is probably the most fun player to watch. When he's on it, he is the one of the best out there. It just happens in short bursts [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I know we all want to see Andy back playing at the top level, but I also sometimes wonder if he could get the best out of Kyrgios as a Lendl/Becker/Edberg-type super-coach? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Kyrgios has himself said that he wouldn’t listen to him [emoji23] Kyrgios hasn’t a coach for a reason.Murray will make a good coach one day for sure though. Andy Roddick has said previously that he’s the most intelligent tennis player when it comes to strategy and working opponents out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happens in short bursts [emoji23]It's a pity he doesn't have the right mindset, he has more ability than some players who have made slam finals recently, would much rather watch Kyrgios than the likes of Anderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He and Lopez out of the Montreal Masters. It's not quick clicking for him yet in the doubles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 It won’t really click for him until he has a permanent partner. A lot of points his teams concede are cheap points that established teams don’t make.I think he’ll be playing singles again soon though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I’m at work so can’t find it, but López/Murray were 0-40 down on their serve. Their opponent attempted a lob that went well wide. López gathered the ball when it went out, but before it landed. So they were broken by that - Murray had to explain to him why they lost a point [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-coo-shed Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Fingers crossed it goes well. He must be confident to comeback to singles this soon.Will take him an age to get back into the swing of things singles wise. All the zoomers will be out of the closet if he loses heavily early doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Drawn to play Richard Gasquet in the first round. Then if he wins Thiem awaits in the next round. Then seeded to face Cilic, Zverev, Nadal and then Djokovic.Some draw [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Brutal draw, but it’s pretty much always going to be if you’re unseeded in a Masters 1000. Gasquet is a decent test to start out with, though. Beatable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameron2000 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Definitely not a brutal draw. Gasquet is about as good a first round as he could have hoped for imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I could name at least ten players that would be a better draw than Gasquet. He’s always given Murray problems and played well in beating Paire and Nishikori and losing to Bautista-Agut. Like Nightmare said he’s beatable but certainly not the best he could have hoped for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the draw as a whole, not just Gasquet as a first opponent. Top players all over his potential route. Even still, I think Gasquet is tough enough at this stage. No idea why you think he’s as good as could have been hoped for, as there were plenty of easier ones in the first round draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His movement isn’t on the same level as it used to be also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Did you see him play at the Canadian Masters? Plus everything you said attributed to Gasquet can also be said of Murray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
