Sir Andy Murray


Guest SS RED

Recommended Posts


Hello?  What's this juicy gossip that you've since retracted??

 

Not that exciting I'm afraid.  Via a series of unfortunate concidences, I happened to be speaking to an associate of John O'Donnell (the surgeon who carried out Murrays first hip procedure in Melbourne) last week.  He'd seen Murrays scans, knew the injury, the extent and explained the process behind some of the decision he made... which I relayed on here.  I don't really think it's a big deal - but as I haven't seen the specifics discussed in the public domain, I'll leave it there.

 

What i would say is, I know that Murray would have been playing through some level of restriction and with fairly extreme pain, during the period he reached world number one.  It doesn't particularly surprise me though... the guy is a warrior.

I wasn't having a go at you SOTR. What I do think is a big deal is medical professionals talking so flippantly about the medical history of someone just because they're in the public eye.

 

FWIW I wish you well with the route you're going down, nightmare at your somewhat youthful presumed age

No worries, was aware you weren’t having a go....Cheers!

What a man. 

Great show of all his old grit, determination and will to win last night. It was just like old times watching him battle through a marathon match at a slam. 

A very tough match next up against Auger-Alliassaime though. 

Impressive win.

Even more impressive considering he announced his retirement early last year... or so everyone in the press assumed. ?

I had the Andy Murray match on in the background there. He's still got the hunger to win, he was 3 match points down on the other guy's serve and somehow managed to go on win.

They kept showing folk in the crowd with a dons supporters flag - anyone on here a member of the Doha Aberdeen supporters club?

Even with a defeat today he'll be back inside the top 50. A win and he'll be in the top 40. A great platform to build off going in to Indian Wells and Miami, where there's a ton of points on offer. 

Not sure if he'll play much clay court this year, so the points he gains over the next month will be absolutely critical if he's going to manage to get himself seeded for Wimbledon. If he does that and can avoid a seed until round 3, he'll really set himself up for one last bit run. 

What a guy he is. ❤️

Surprised he beat Zverev!?  That's a big scalp?

Zverev just coming back from his ankle injury last year. Big name but not at 100%. A good win nonetheless though. Yesterdays win was a good one too, up against a talented up and coming player. 

Medvedev today a real test against one of the very, very best.

What happened on the final point of his match yesterday? The opponent looked like he wasn’t even trying but looked genuinely shook when Murray won it.

Full of admiration for Sir Andy but it's time to listen to his body.

Agree, he has absolutely nothing left to prove. Incredible to think he's been in at least 10 Grand Slam finals and countless semifinals, losing almost every time to one of the 3 greatest male players of all time. In any other era, he'd have won 8-10 Grand Slams IMHO. I'd put him right up there with Agassi, Becker and the likes, possibly in the top 5/6 of all time.

Agreed. Although I don't think he thinks he has anything to prove either, he's playing because he wants to.
