vanderark14 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 It looks that way... although might be too early to write off such a great champion? To be fair he hasn't done anything on grass for years. I think the surface is certainly too quick for him these days. Will be interesting to see how he gets on during the American hard court season. The way Nadal is, and the way he plays the game, the end was always going to happen quickly for him.I take it you mean nadal hasn't done much at Wimbledon for years because on grass he won a tournament this year.

vanderark14 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Heather Watson currently giving Serena Williams a game on centre court right now. Good atmosphere and the guffy lassie is playing her best stuff so far. I hope she beats Williams Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Match sitting at 1-1 and Watson up by 2 breaks in the 3rd , 3-0 up Good match for a wifies game but they still shouldn't get the same prize money Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I take it you mean nadal hasn't done much at Wimbledon for years because on grass he won a tournament this year. That was his first on the surface for 5 years. I had forgotten about it, because Stuttgart is such a minor tournament. It's just a warm-up event really - it isn't even a 500 event. 1 minor tour event win in 5 years isn't much for a 14-time grand slam winner. Link to comment
tutankamun Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Djokovic 2 sets down against Anderson. Huge boost for Murray if he goes out. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Absolute savage draw for Murray - couldn't have been tougher! R4 - Tsonga (or Muller - Tsonga has been carrying an injury lately)QF - Nadal/Ferrer Not looking good min. Hopefully your next two predictions are as bad as these. COA Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Some carry on from Kyrgios last night! Total over reaction to his antics though... For so long, folk have been criticising the top tennis players for lacking character and being boring. A huge character has emerged - and he's certainly the biggest talent in the world, in the U25 age bracket - and folk are absolutely hammering him. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hope Anderson beats Djokivic - would be nice to see a final without him in it for a change. Link to comment

A huge character has emerged - and he's certainly the biggest talent in the world, in the U25 age bracket - and folk are absolutely hammering him.He's very petulant but it's fun to watch, clearly has talent but is also slightly mental but to be a top player you need to get the balance just right, that second set yesterday was funny though, also I've just seen this. Kyrgios has won 7/24 sets in 2015 when he has been broken first in the set Link to comment

Would that stat not be quite common? Given most players go on to lose the set when they are broken. Link to comment
minijc Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Would that stat not be quite common? Given most players go on to lose the set when they are broken.Not for the top players which is where he is aiming to be, I imagine, he also tends to fight back in the set after too. Link to comment

A huge character has emerged - and he's certainly the biggest talent in the world, in the U25 age bracket - and folk are absolutely hammering him. from what I have watched and read the reaction to Kyrgios has been mixed, I thought the outbursts were funny and he is 100% spot on about the umpires and Nadal. I think he took it too far by refusing to play in that one game though and then he had the cheek to say he did try during that game by claiming it was Gasquet's serve that just beat him. Todays match might just favour Anderson, his game is all about serve so the break overnight might help him unless Djockovic comes out with right attitude this time. Link to comment

RAZOR Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 2-0 Murray so far. He's starting to look very good. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Fed beats Simon in straight sets,Murray 3 - 3 in the Third. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 MURRAY WINS. Gonna be an epic semi-final with Federer. Link to comment
The Cockney Don Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Wawrinka done my bet AGAIN, so hot & cold the player. Link to comment
tutankamun Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Wawrinka done my bet AGAIN, so hot & cold the player. Would've preferred Wawrinka had won since he had the measure of Djokovic at the French. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Would've preferred Wawrinka had won since he had the measure of Djokovic at the French.Aye. I think Djokovic will hump Gasquet. Murray should be able to handle Federer nowadays. Link to comment
alscotoz Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Murray was good last night from the little bit i saw. Think he has the tools to overcome Rog. Link to comment
boboisared Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Aye. I think Djokovic will hump Gasquet. Murray should be able to handle Federer nowadays.You'd hope so, Federer is still class though. Link to comment
minijc Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Federer leads Murray 12-11 on the head to head, I'd expect Murray to beat him tomorrow, the price for Murray to win is very very generous and expecting him to go off a little shorter. Link to comment
