Left Back Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Well that was straightforward. Don’t think he even played particularly well but the Argie simply had no answers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 First straight sets win in a slam since his hip fell apart in Wimbledon 17. I thought he was relatively good in that, a bit iffy on serve at times but the ball seemed to by flying long. He will be favourite in his next match, and hopefully he does a solid job on it, as he needs to have something energy wise if he is to face Berretini. Think that will be the end of the road for him, but he was starting to figure out his serve in Stuttgart before the unexpected injury on the chair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Murray certainly played well and it turned out very straight forward. Cerundolo played like the 24 year old without a single win in a major tournament that he is. Murray should win the second round against the young American Nava who’s playing in his first ever major. Then it would probably be Berettini in the third round… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her ranking will now tank as the points she won last year drop off.Evans and Norrie off to good starts with straight sets wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Twitter trolls will be out in force as they'll never have heard of Cornet or have an understanding of how rankings work. She's currently sitting 80 in the live rankings and Harriet Dart will become British No.1 if she wins her next match. At least she'll finally be playing around her current level which should hopefully ease the expectation and pressure and allow her to experiment with her game more. If she can stay injury free I'm sure she'll be seeded again this time next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopping and changing coach so many times can't have helped either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Murray loses a gruelling first set 7-5 in 1 hour 24 minutes. The last game in the set was about 15 minutes on his serve but he couldn’t get it to a tie break, amazing shot to win the set too.The young American is playing well and he’s certainly got the home crowd behind him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray had solved the problem in the second set tbh. The boy was clinging on for much of the first then an unbelievable streak allowed him to nick the set. The 3rd and 4th was desperate hitting from a guy that was outgunned leading to all the unforced errors. You could see him applauding Andy at times when he knew he’d been outclassed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Great win for Andy. That kid won’t be 200 in the world for long.Now for the real test, Berrettini. He needed four sets and two tie breaks to beat the unseeded Grenier today. Would be quite the upset if Andy was to do it, but why not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 I think the most impressive aspect of Andy's play was just the acceptance of good shots by his opponent. The set point in the first set was just ridiculously good from Nava. Nava's power in the first set was sublime, forcing Andy into the corners and particularly opening up the deuce side of the court. Andy just systematically broke down the backhand and extracted errors, and ran away with it. Very impressive. With Tsitsipas already out, he could really take advantage of an opening draw if he was to beat Berrettini. A couple of ifs, but if he can serve well with a slightly higher % and his +1 shot he can lead with the forehand like he has been doing, I think he will win and get the upset. I feel a bit sorry for Radacanu, the level of expectation has been so high, and if she got the same seven opponents again this time she'd probably beat them all again. It was just the perfect storm of upsets and her form and belief just sky rocketing for two weeks. Swiatek and Barty were both knocked out in the round previous and she got the tired opponent each time. Fernandez' run to the final was far more impressive. She beat Kerber, Osaka, Svitolina and Sabalenka. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Berrettini takes the first set 6-4. Andy played well enough but the big classy Italian is serving well and he seen it out with a love game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
