The Tennis Thread

Whatever happens it is a truely Fantastic time for the Men's Game,both these events are going to be amazing with the sensational Nadal/Federer rivalry reaching complete boiling point and can Murray upset one of them? And will Djokovic hit back??? Is there a dark horse out there,all will be revealed!!! I cannot wait!!

 

Nadal is to play Parsley Phillips in a special secret best of 5 sets on Clay while the Queens Club event goes on,should be very very interesting.

 

Murray says he will donate his queen's winnings to the fire victims then loses in the first round coincidence I think not

 

Extremely embarrassing for murray.

 

What kind of stuff?

 

Both Murray and Djokovic have been in awful form recently while Nadal and Federer have won the last two slams. Very strange situation.

It just shows that Fed and Rafa are on a level of their own. Amazing that they both emerged in the same era, heck you can sort of throw Nole in there.

Murray on the other hand, when he won the U.S open 5 years ago you'd have thought that he would go on to win at least 5 or 6 more. I mean Wawrinka has won more in that him in that time.

 

Depending on the seeding i think it is odds on a Nadal v Federer Wimbledon final,destiny awaits!

 

There are rumours about PEDs.

 

Oh by the way Nadal played a special 6 set challenge against Parsley Phillips the other day on Clay.What a match it was Nadal won the first 2 sets 6-0 6-3 but lost the next 3 5-7 1-6 6-7 won won the 6th 8-6,so 3-3 in sets,they are playing another one soon!!

 

Murray looks finished for the season, just can't see him getting on that winning mentality any time soon. The French open was lucky to him, the draw suited him, his two real tests were a (perpetually) injured Del Potro, and a similarly weak Nishakori. He scraped past two poor opponents in the first two rounds in Paris also, someone like Almagro or Verdasco would have sent him home early if the draws were not lucky for Murray.

 

I remember John McEnroe saying Andy Murray has women trouble when Andy had the female coach Mauresmo, along with his Mum Judy and his wife Kim all vying for his attention. I can't help feeling that Andy has off the court troubles given the wimpish way he has been exiting tournaments lately.

 

Awful for Andy. Whatever's wrong, he needs to get his focus back on the game.

 

Have you seen Mauresmo? I'd rather pump Susan Boyle

 

I can't argue with that
She was a hopeless coach too, wasted two years of Andy's best shelf life under her, don't think he won one tourney during those two years. Also think Andy should consider changing his coach again, as I get the feeling Lendl is too laid back for Andy's liking.
He would be better suited to a McEnroe or Connors type coaching him I think.
