Lex Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Are the reactions just not there anymore?Seems like it. In the olden days whenever Murray drew the 6’6+ big serving guys like Isner, Karlovic, or Cillic to a lesser extent you knew he was going to beat them. His returning has always been superb and those big guys don’t have much else going for them. He needs to find that kind of form again in the next 20 minutes, or I suspect this will be his last ever match at Wimbledon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t recall him having a break point or even getting Isner to duece in this match. Something clearly not there that he used to have, as well as the lanky yanky has played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Isner not even running for what looked like a makeabke drop shot in Murray’s service game there. Big clogger saving his energy to serve it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Best I've seen Isner play. Murray serving first 2 sets very poor. Not a terrible performance from Murray but just got to say Isner was excellent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yeah Isner too good in the end. He surely wont be troubling the second week though, never mind the business end of the tournament. Expect Sinner to mop him up no problem next round.Sore one for Murray, this was a kind draw and he couldn’t take it to a fifth set. Back to the hard court for Andy now, he’ll surely be at the US Open. Beyond that… who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Probably the best all-round performance I’ve seen from Isner - prime Murray probably has just enough to deal with him, but someone like Isner serving at 73% first serves in is borderline unplayable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I thought Isner's serve was incredible. You'd likely be hard pushed to find anyone that could live with that tonight. But at least Andy is Scottish again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkieRR Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Isner's ace-led game is awful to watch but he was exceptional at it tonight. Gaun the Scottish half of Norrie! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bialystock Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Isner more than played to his strengths today and Andy Murray of a few years ago wouldn't have given half of the chances he took. A deserved winner by playing the Andy of today. His on court post match was understated with a wee bit of class. Angelique Kerber is in the next round so swings and all that..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Williams and Murray going out so early is sad to see from two greats of the game. They're both long past it and should have gave up a few years ago instead of trying to flog a dead horse. Seeing them play in a Grand Slam and be out by Wed of 1st week is a tarnish on their legacies. It's like seeing the likes of Kevin Kyle and Craig Beattie at Somerset and just wishing they'd went out "on top" -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Don't really agree to be honest, if anything I find it commendable. Neither need the money and professional tennis is incredibly punishing physically, they must be doing it because they enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR74 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Frustratingly clinical stuff by Isner last night. No complaints he deserved that. Thought at the end of third we might have been in for one of those nights, but the break in the fourth felt very ominous. Really classy post-match from Isner too to be fair to him.GBs Boulter on centre today against Pliskova. Kyrgios v Krajinovic over on Court 2 could be worth a watch, both men having played five sets in R1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 That’s a fantastic win for the absolutely stunning Katie Boulter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
