Andy Murray The Greatest and General Tennis Chat

Good news for Andy Murray. The women’s match on court 12 has gone to a deciding set. After that it’s Hantzmann v Fritz, which is already in a 5th and final set, but only after that finishes will Thiem and Tsitsipas get on. Could be a late finish for them.

Thiem just took the fourth set, to take it to a decider.  Tsitsipas looks the better player but Thiem just has a bit more fight and heart.

We already have people in the Third Round before all of the First Round matches have concluded.

It’s a shame they binned the “play until someone wins by 2” in the 5th set. This Thiem-Tsitsipas match looks like it could go for days.

On the subject of rain delays, I wonder if they’d consider putting a roof on one of the diddy courts to preserve the showcourts, while still allowing some stuff to go on outside.

Tsitsipas through in five then and will play Murray. Bit of beef between these two after the infamous toilet break saga during their 2021 US Open epic, good fun.

Tsitsipas is the fifth seed and he will certainly be the favourite, but he has no real grass court pedigree and is a bit questionable mentally. Him losing the head on the way to being dumped out by Kyrgios at Wimbledon last year was the best head's gone of the tournament. With that factor and the home crowd behind him Murray is more than capable of getting through.

Korda out so no excuses for Norrie not to make the 4th round now.

As for Murray he has that win over Tsitsipas in Stuttgart last year which should give him confidence considering the improvement he's made in the last 12 months.

Korda getting papped out this early is a stunner. I fancy Norrie as an outside bet to win the whole thing now.

Been mentioned already, but feels a strange decision to have round two matches completed before finishing the first round matches. 
 

Surely should have completed the first round before starting any second round games today?

There's no way Norrie beats Djokovic or Alcaraz over 5 sets.

This Burrage match is very confusing to half-watch while vaguely working. Both players have the same haircut and are about the same height and look similar. One of them should have to wear a hat.

Same with Ruud v Broady, fucking annoying.
