faraway saint Posted August 9, 2023 Report Share Posted August 9, 2023 Just watching the Murray v Purcell match. Purcell had a surprising win in the last round but looks quite passive in the early stages. Here's @elvis summary............... Murray wins, no comment. Murray loses, Murray is shite.

Got that right, although hardly Nostradamus.

Cookie Monster Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Quite a few top seeds getting put out in the esrly rounds. Hard to see past Djokovic and Alcaraz for the final. Not had time to put on my usual big odds ons 20accu of all the seeds. By the sounds of it I've saved a pound or two. [emoji16] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 Almost all of the top 10 seeded players still in contention makes it look hard for Murray to get to week 2, he does look very confident so maybe he knows something the rest of us don't. Still being in the draw on Monday could be one of his top achievements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) My tip for the top gets through quite easily into round 2 and currently on court against the 17th seed and is 2 sets to zero up. If he can shake off his injuries he can be a top 10 player IMO. Edited August 31, 2023 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd looked at the draw, ignoring your view that Murray looks confident, you'd have seen he's got a tough draw in the 2nd round and, IF he gets through, I doubt he will, a tougher draw when he'd likely be against the 12th seed Zverev. He's 2-2 in the first against Dimitrov right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His first serve hasn't been shocking, only marginally lower than Dimitrov, at 58%. He, IMO, doesn't; have the shots to hurt top players anymore, especially over a 5 set match. He only managed to convert one break point from a possible 4 in the first set, chances but fails to take them.

At his best, I would have fancied his chances to get back into this but I'm afraid he's not the player he was and while Dimitrov isn't going to win this tournament he, just has too much for Murray.
