Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat

Bit of an upset on court two there. 19th seed Alex De Minaur two sets up, cruising and has two match points in the third set. Loses them both, and Chilean Cristian Garin goes on to win it in five to reach his first ever grand slam quarter final. He will play the winner of Kyrgios and Nakashima, the Aussie currently 2-1 up.

2 sets all now, with Kyrgios tanking the last game of the 4th set, serving at 3-5 down. Cracking tennis player, without a fully functioning brain.

When did Nadal suddenly become good on grass again? He’s gone from being a world beater 2007-2010, to failing to get past the fourth round 2012-2017 and routinely getting papped out by jobbers (lost to Lukas Rosol, lost to Steve Darcis, lost to Nick Kyrgios, lost to Dustin Brown, DNP, lost to Giles Muller) but he did make the SF on his last two appearances and doing well again this year

Similar to Djokovic last night, there was no danger of Nadal not winning that one. Both the goats in the quarters without getting out of third gear:
Djokovic v Sinner
Norrie v Goffin
Kyrgios v Garin
Nadal v Fritz
I think the only players that can stop the Rafa/Novak final are Sinner and Kyrgios. Probably a year or two early for Jannik, but he’s definitely got the game and the serve to cause Djokovic problems and would say there’s a chance of an upset there.
A Nadal v Kyrgios semi is what everyone wants, guaranteed drama and tantrums that could go either way.

Fritz upsetting Nadal wouldn’t shock me one bit. As a minimum I think it goes the distance.

He's been an excellent addition to the comms team. Will anyone ever break his run of 79 consecutive grand slam main draw appearances? Oe even get close?

Must have been a suggestion from Judy to add the man she dubbed "Deliciano" to the commentary team emoji23.png

Is he the boy Andy played doubles with when he started his comeback?  They won Queens together and Lopez won the singles?

I could have that all wrong though 😂

That’s him, yep. He also put Tim Henman into retirement in 2007.

Did anyone see the Kyrgios interview last night?

Looked like the interviewer was constantly trying to bait him to get a reaction.

Hopefully Norrie can do the business today, looking forward to it.
My missus, who has no interest in any sport, let alone tennis, was raging with kyrgios after that interview.

I didn't see it and I think it's the first time in 20 years she's started a conversation with me about sport.

I just want an umpire to deal with the wee petulant c**t.

Domestic abuser as well? I hope he gets booed to f**k now.
