TheScarf Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Beaten in the first round in Washington, losing the decider 6-1. It's chicken and egg isn't it, he needs matches but keeps losing in the 1st/2nd round of tournaments. He should play a few challenger tournaments after the US open to get some momentum IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc93 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Now onto Montreal where Andy's been drawn against Taylor Fritz. Also Raducanu with back to back wins this week for the first time since 1st May. Last time she won 3 in a row was the US Open last year although hopefully not for long as her next match is starting soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 The match against Taylor Fritz is about 7pm our time tonight. Murray’s draw is an absolute nightmare, just go make the SF he could potentially have to beat Fritz, Tiafoe, Sinner, Alcaraz. Probably needs a couple of wins here and a couple of wins in Cinci to get a seeding for the US Open. Not looking good at all. At least his defeat last week doesn’t look as bad as Ymer followed it up with a good run. If he doesn’t serve well tonight it will be a straight sets loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Serena Williams will bring an end to her stellar career at the US Open. An incredible career winning 23 slams, lays claim to the greatest female player along with Graf, Navratilova and Evert. Court just isn’t at that level despite having 24 “slams”. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It was just such an easy win for Fritz. Fritz was very good, but Andy just far too passive, the depth in his shots just wasn’t there and he really only started swinging at the end. His serve just isn’t there, he takes speed off it to increase % but they get swatted, so he goes back to hitting hard serves and he can’t get them in. He won about 80% of first serve points and about 20% of second serve points. Needs a lucky draw in Cinci to get a seeding for the US Open. Not in the main draw yet, so would need a couple of withdrawals or a wild card. Nick Kyrgios is next on the entry list if there is a pull out. That would free up a wild card. We know Djokovic won’t be at the tournament but until he officially pulls out, Kyrgios can’t be moved up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She won some in the amateur era when the best players were banned from playing. Even playing the Australian Open every year is a very recent thing, up until the 90s it was skipped by lots of players. Court won 11 of them when the likes of Rome, Cinci and tournaments of a lower standing today were considered more prestigious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Jack Draper lost last night. If he won he would have went straight in to the main draw of Cinci. However as he lost, Andy Murray gets moved from qualifying into the main draw. He was due to play Tori Daniel tonight in qualifying. But instead plays Stan Wawrinka in the main draw. If he gets past there Norrie is likely to await and then Alcaraz. Will need to win all three ties to be seeded at the US Open. Emma Radacanu will get to play Serena Williams in the first round. Should be a really good tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR74 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Murray takes the first set. Huge hold facing two break points at 5-5. Just an absolute pleasure to still be watching these two though, and especially seeing them play against each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Murray through in three sets, fantastic match. Two multiple major winning greats of the game out there for the love of it, despite both of them being long past it. Great to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenElves Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Comfortable win for Raducanu against Serena. Raducanu played well, but Serena struggled for a lot of the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
