Loki Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 4 hours ago, jaggyness said: So today is the first time in nearly 19 years that the top 2 ranking spots haven't included Federer, Nadal, Murray or Djokovic. Probably longer if you omit Murray from that list but can't find that info. It’s just the same date, as that is when Federer rose to number 1 in the world. The whole time Murray was number one Djokovic was second, and then Federer took over and then Nadal again. No word on Murray pulling out of Queens, so hopefully he is fine after the falling into a chair yesterday in the final. A great week for him overall, beating Kyrgios and Tsitsipas. Will likely play Berretini again in the second round if he makes it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting a scan today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Any word on Murray and Raducanu taking up their SW19 slots? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Any word on Murray and Raducanu taking up their SW19 slots?Not confirmed but I’m sure they’ll both get out there and hit a few balls. Retiring with injury in the first round not unlikely for either of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have high hopes for him, just a shame he injured himself on a bloody chair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Andy gets James Duckworth in R1. Potentially Isner R2. Decent draw all things considered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Going beyond that it gets worse though. Possibly Sinner, Alcaraz and then Djokovic. Off for the next two weeks so should get to see a good bit of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off for the next two weeks so should get to see a good bit of it. Probably where the loss of Wimbledon in 2020 and short grass court season in general is noticeable for some of the younger guys. In men's singles matches on grass Sinner's 0-3 and Alcaraz is 1-1. Hopefully Murray can get through his first match feeling better and take it from there. Favourable opening matches for a few of the other Brits too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Is Cameron Norrie any good on grass? He’s the 9th seed, but is 200/1 at Paddy Power. Potentially worth a flutter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Is Cameron Norrie any good on grass? He’s the 9th seed, but is 200/1 at Paddy Power. Potentially worth a flutter. In the same half of the draw as novax, Murray, dimitrov, Hurkacz, Sinner and Ruud who have all had more impressive seasons or better pedigree. Admittedly Ruud and Sinner are somewhat unproven on grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s consistently good on tour, which is reflected in his ranking and seeding.However, his record in grand slams is atrocious. He’s never made it past the third round once in any of the big four tournaments, despite repeatedly being seeded to do so.This year he’s already lost in straight sets in the first round of Australia and the third of the French to players seeded below him.He’s not some up and coming youngster either, he’s 26, these should be his peak years. He seems to just not like the big stage, for whatever reason. So yeah, him getting to the second week of a major for the first time in his career would be an achievement in itself. Him going on and winning it would be quite the upset, and his odds reflect that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor7 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Cameron Norrie takes the first set 6-0. Rain has halted proceedings for the last hour. Players now returning to court. Murray should be on around 5pm depending on how close the games are on before him. Raducanu will get beat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonhamerDon Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Djokovic wins last 5 games to take first set 6-3 - should be easy going from there - thought he might be slow after not playing any warm up. He lost the first set of the tournament last year to Draper. Last year's semi-finalist Hurkacz has just gone two sets down to Davidovich Fokina 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor7 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Norrie two holds away from a straight sets victory. Been impressed so far, but his opponent is poor. Good start to the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
