tup Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 My take on all this, a more expert view than SOTR, is that Murray was rough as fuck for the first two rounds after over celebrating Hibs win last Saturday, joining the rest of Scotland in rejoicing at the destruction of the newco. He's sobering up now and suddenly he's coming at it. I'd say thats pretty near to the mark. 3 Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 You could be right tup, Murray through in straight sets. He's up against an in formgasquet next though. It just gets tougher from here on in. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Not sure what's going on with Murray. He'd been the top player through the clay court season... but almost overnight he's gone to shit. Only got through these last two matches by scrapping. Should have lost both of them. There is definitely something wrong here. Karlovic next - either way, at least he won't have to do as much running! Looking like an easy 3-0 win to Murray as per SOTR's prediction that he's struggling big time. 2 sets up within an hour and only 4 points dropped on serve in the 3rd set which is going to a tie break. Well played @sonoftherock :hysterical: You are scraping barrel now boof! I don't see a prediction for Karlovic... I just said either way (i.e. win or lose), he won't have to do a lot of running! Playing against Karlovic, there aren't many long points! After two big servers, Gasquet is going to be a step-up... a home player, who's very natural on clay - he had a terrific win over Nishikori in the previous round too! Will be a good match to watch - guaranteed to be some insane rallies! Link to comment

vanderark14 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Very limited amount of play today due to rain again. Djockovic currently one set down and all square in 2nd set, he's not playing at his top level. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 You did say I'd never post on the hat again, too. You need to update the Roid club. Put SOTR in it for losing the plot with me on this thread. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Fast start from Murray. 4-1 up in first. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Fast start from Murray. 4-1 up in first. doing his best to fuck it up whilst serving for the set though Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Unreal this match! Don't know how some folk can knock mens tennis at the highest level. Watching Murray in this tournament has been an absolute rollercoaster - with the highs and lows, it's pure entertainment. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I love watching Gasquet. Saw him win the Nottingham Open 10 years ago - a player who has the lot, but has sadly always lacked the physicality or mental toughness to take the next step in the Grand Slams. A 4th Roland Garros semi finals for Murray. He's never been further. Beaten twice by Nadal and once by Djokovic at this stage. Next up is the reigning Champion Stan Wawrinkwa. Should be an absolute classic! This is what it's all about! Can't wait! Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm going to put him in until he gets a prediction right. Surely I can't return to the 'roid club? Double Jeopardy? Link to comment

vanderark14 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I think this is as far as Murray will go today, I actually think Wawrinka will win in straight sets. 1 Link to comment
Pash Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Didn't realise Djokovic hasn't won the French Open before! Wow. If Murray can get through this then hopefully that will be in the back of Djokovic's head. And Fed only won it once! Ah I see, Rafa has won it 9 times, greedy cunt. Link to comment
