Bishop Briggs Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 On 25/08/2021 at 13:47, Loki said: The errors Murray was making was again technical rather than physical. He had chances to take the first set, and even when a double break down in the second he really had an opportunity to get back on serve, being 0-30 but silly errors cost him. Another couple of matches under his belt. The draw for the US Open is Friday, so will need a lot of help to make it through a couple of rounds. This will be the first Slam since 1997 without one of Federer, Nadal or Serena. The golden era of tennis is just about over Not a fan of Djokovic? I'm not. The stress of being out injured for so long seems to have affected Murray's mental strength and judgement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Can't see Andy getting past the first round now at flushing meadows! Only way he could really have got a tougher draw would've been to get Djokovic.Tsitsipas should have enough for present day Andy unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I think Novak could be susceptible in the early rounds, and maybe show signs of pressure. Nishikori in the third might be interesting. He is the overwhelming favourite, but as much as he’s the greatest hard court player ever, he’s only won the US Open three times. I think the crowd upsets him. Murray’s draw is tough, but he will be more likely to do something against a top seed in the first round than the third. He has nothing to lose. He will be a large underdog, and if he was to win he effectively becomes a top seed. He will have to be more aggressive with his backhand as Tsitsipas will go backhand to backhand all day long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Novak is the greatest male player, but I don’t particularly like him when he’s on a tennis court. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bully Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Let’s go Andy! Double break up in the first set against the 3rd seed. Looking imperious so far (but we all know how quickly that can turn). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Andy takes the first set 6-2. Just beautiful tennis, and his first serve is sizzling. So far, this is vintage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I really didn't expect this. Like really didn't. Huge that he hasn't been broken yet. Also, what's the point of having Daniella Hantuchova and putting her behind a desk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so humid that he’s sweated so much that his socks and shoes are soaked with sweat, which caused him to slip when 6-4 up in the tie break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
