faraway saint Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 Murray wins a tight match against Wawrinka, 7-7, 5-7, 7-5. Don't tell elvis, he'll be along when Murray loses to add his scintillating observation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Wee Emma beats the once mighty Serena Williams 6-4, 6-0. Serena just counting down the days till she receives her pension, can't be too long as defeats like this are just embarrassing.

faraway saint Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Norrie wins a classic against Alcaraz in over 3 hours 7-6, 6-7, 6-4. Now in the semi final against Coric. Coric is a player I'm not familiar with, he's been the surprise package so a great opportunity for Norrie to reach the final. Great preparation for the US Open which is just around the corner.

faraway saint Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 After Murray getting a decent victory, funny elvis never seemed to notice that, wee Dan Evans and "Cam" Norrie both sail through today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Wee Emma "pumped" out in the first round. Last years quite magnificent achievement, and it was remarkable, now a distant memory. Since then it's been one defeat after another. She's, seemingly in the Top 10 earners of womens tennis but almost all of that comes from off court earnings. That will slowly, but surely, disappear with each defeat. She could do with winning something and soon. PS her ranking is set to tumble down into the "80's", bang goes easier draws in the near future.

ianmac Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 The present title of this thread reminded me of an excellent documentary on the BBC iplayer about Arthur Ashe that I watched recently. BBC iPlayer - Storyville - Citizen Ashe I realised he was a great tennis player, but not a great deal about the fact that he became a political activist or the very unfortunate circumstances of his death. Highly recommended....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 I've never been a huge tennis fan but my big sister was and she loved Arthur Ashe and Vitas Gerulaitis, she was especially taken with his post tennis activities.

faraway saint Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Next up for Murray, Berrettini, who I rate, so much so that I had a wee flutter on him to win Wimbledon as his build up on grass had been very impressive. Tough opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draper's got quite an all round game to go far, not so much this year but one to watch. This boy continues to impress, a brilliant result against the 6th seed.
