Imagine going back to pre Murray, dare to dream a Scottish tennis player could hold his own and along comes Murray to be world No 1, a career threatening hip problem and to come back and win his last 2 matches in 5 sets. I'm buying an Andy Murray blow up doll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You called that right, the Australian, especially early on, was smashing forehands all over the court. After 2 sets is was looking like Murray was out, it was close but Murray was just second best.........then he showed why he's what he is and dug in. Plenty players would have thrown in the towel, not Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Norrie out. I've posted previously, there's something missing from Norrie, he just doesn't, IMO< have that "Murray" factor to take him to the level of the top players.

Showing my real self now? Am I? Am I really? There was nothing "sick" about it to the best of my knowledge. Why do you feel the need to jump in and defend Faraway Ranger everytime someone has a "pop back" at him? Edited January 20, 2023 by Percy Veer Quotation marks.

faraway saint Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Ok, Murray due on soon. After the euphoria of Thursday it should be mentioned that a player higher up the rankings than the Australian would, almost certainly have sent Murray home. Today's opponent, if he gets 2-0 up, WILL win so Murray has to get off to a fast start, he simply won;t get the chances he had the other day. C'mon Murray.

faraway saint Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 MUrray simply outclassed in the first set, 6-1. Now the 2nd set, at least he's IN the set/match. 4-4 and serving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my, he's something else. Top level tennis must be one of the most physically and mentally demanding individual professional sports. When you consider that top level football matches the ball is only “in-play” for less than 60 minutes and these poor wee players need multiple substitutions just to get through a game and then they complain about playing a few days later. Boils ma piss so it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a recent holiday we met a nice American couple and they said the American Football season is vert short but the physical aspect means it's not really an option to extend the number of games.

Difference today compared with when we were young guys watching is that you had for example excellent right backs like Beckett, Grieg and McGrain who could be extremely physical. We managed for years perfectly fine with two substitutes. John Grieg and Danny McGrain each played around 600 games at a top level on pitches that would be called off today. Teams like Villa and Forest won the league and European cup with a total squad of players of 14. The game is far less physical in terms of challenges so that’s not a good argument. Just my opinion.
