Might be the last time we see him in the 3rd round of a Slam.

He's playing well enough right now to suggest he could make a big run at Wimbledon. Might even manage to get himself a seeding by then.

Andy looking heavy-legged here 😥

Aye its not great viewing but really not unexpected.

[don corleone]

Andy Murray is fucking incredible! 💪

[Roberto]

How does he do it. He was dead and buried there. Wow. 

 

 

 

 

[Singapore Steve]

looking knackered now.  2 sets to 1 down,  not looking good.  Limping quite a bit. 

[Ten Caat]

Well if he's going to progress it's going to have to be another 5 setter.

It looks unlikely but after the other night you just can't rule it out

C'mon Andy!

Henman did win 11 titles, none of them Grand Slams of course but I think it would be disingenuous to say he wasn't successful

Considering his era, 11 non Grand Slam titles is pathetic. He was a nonentity.

If Murray was 10 years younger, playing in the same era (post Sampras, pre Federer), he would’ve won double figures Slams easily.

[tutankamun]

Got the break. Serving 1st in this set too. Go Murray.

[Ten Caat]

Murray gets the break....

[tutankamun]

Sakes

[Ten Caat]

Ah no

[don corleone]

Ah yes! 

[For Fecks Sake]

What a match, some effort from Murray.

[Ten Caat]

Out.....

Ah no

[tutankamun]

Great effort from Murray in this tournament.

[For Fecks Sake]

What an effort from Murray and his never give up attitude 👍

[tutankamun]

Supporting Djokovic now, although I’ve heard he might be injured? If that’s true, huge opportunity for someone in that side of the draw.

I don't think you can say every single tennis player that's never won a slam is a "loser". 

Henman was a very good player over a long period of time. 

He's not even close to Andy though. Andy has had the misfortune to be very similar ages to the 3 best male players of all time. 

Andy has played 11 slam finals (10 vs Djokovic or Federer) and won 3. He's also lost 10 slam Semi finals (8 vs Nadal, Djokovic of Federer (plus 1 to each of Roddick and Wawrikwa)). Without those three, he'd have double digit slams, no question. 

He's an all-time great. One of the best to ever do what he does. The fact he's still giving us moments like he has this week, despite his age, despite his metal hip and despite dips in form, is a testament to his greatness in a complete other way. 

He's my hero. He should be everyone's hero. ❤️❤️

Good post bud.

Would shag his wife as well.

Just as a matter of interest.

Aye unfortunately he is. I don't like him but he is incredible.

[Guest milne_afc]

Is the term ‘GOAT’ acceptable language for grown adults?

I would say using acronyms is acceptable, yes.

I don't mind the usage but when piers Morgan tries to use it during interviews about Ronaldo, my toes curl.

Federer pisses all over Djokovic in my opinion.

No he isn't.

Depends what you base it on...

Grand Slams? Nadal the GOAT then but I know Djokovic will over take that.

Titles? Jimmy Conners it is then... and let's be honest, he isn't.

Federer is exceptional and the original GOAT (that term only really came around during the time he played, its a new thing really).

However IMO Djokovic will walk away from tennis the best ever. That's just my opinion... but it's shared by many, and not shared by others as you've just shown. But when all end their careers, most grand slams/titles will be telling and I reckon Djokovic will top them all.
