He usually has one "weak" game every year at Wimbledon, hope this was it. Doesn't play till Monday, plenty time to rest up. BRILLIANT ABSOLUTELY !

stlucifer Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I must admit to being surprised, (pleasantly though), at Murray's performance so far, albeit against weaker opposition, but I still believe he will fall well short when playing the big guns in week 2. I hope to be being called out for my lack of faith/knowledge next Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a feeling his hip is giving Murray some jip as he is looking to be limping at times but then he does some great moves and I think he is ok. The Spanish Stallone is looking in good form. My heart is with Murray so fingers crossed. Edited July 7, 2017 by Isle Of Bute Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him doing anything at Wimbledon this year either. Hope I'm wrong though. An utterly bizzare post. 11 minutes ago, stlucifer said: I must admit to being surprised, (pleasantly though), at Murray's performance so far, albeit against weaker opposition, but I still believe he will fall well short when playing the big guns in week 2. I hope to be being called out for my lack of faith/knowledge next Sunday. Having watched him closely, as usual, I happen to agree that he looks short of the form he will need to beat Nadal (semi final possible opponent) or Federer or Djokovic. His movement is slightly less than it usually is and, as such, leaves him struggling to get into the correct position to return or attack. He also seems to be less willing to be going for shots, something that Lendl seemed to have sorted, but this could come from him slightly being less than 100% physically perfect. Todays opponent was dangerous, but nothing more and Murray had to dig deep to get past him. He plays a Frenchman next, ranked 46 in the world who has sailed through so far, only dropping one set. This is the best he has ever done at Wimbledon and I expect Murray to see him off in straight sets. For people who enjoy tennis try to catch the Nadal v Muller match in the next round, could be a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 Murray 2nd on centre court tomorrow against Paire (France) World number 46 and this is, equally, as far as he's reached in the majors. I think Murray will ease through this in 3 sets. Some other matches should be top class. Nadal v Muller, Dimitrov v Federer..................quality guaranteed.

faraway saint Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Murray through in 3, quite tight but another match without losing a set, only one list so far. Quarter final beckons. He played more consistent today, nothing to stop him reaching the final or win it on his current form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
