faraway saint Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 The latest British starlet, Jubb, playing some decent stuff, despite getting pumped 6-0 in the first set. Good experience, although that's the usual story trotted out for young British players. Only good of he turns out to be decent. Latest news is Murray makes his appearance on Thursday in the mens doubles. Still eagerly awaiting to see if he announces the mixed doubles with Serena, that would be a blockbuster. Oh, on Thursday Kyrgios plays Nadal. He had another explosive match today. That'll be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young lad Jubb, only 19, wins the 3rd set on an enthralling tie break to take it into a 4th set at 2-1 down. Brilliant stuff young man.

The thing is, it’s been known for years that Tomic doesn’t give a damn. It’s often been said his childhood was pretty brutal as his father drummed tennis into him, and performances like this are his “revenge”. It’s a shame as he did have the potential to be very successful, but thanks to his childhood he absolutely despises the sport so it’s not surprising to see him play like this. He does enough to make an easy living from the sport, but he won’t bother doing any more than that. I think days like this are specifically aimed at his father, and his hate and disdain means he doesn’t give a damn about putting in a performance for the fans or anyone else. It’s a very sad story.

It's shameful there's been little improvement after Murray raising the profile over the last umpteen years. Other countries produce a top 20/10 player without a player of Murrays class, the current top British man is 31 with the next at 49. The womens game is worse, Konta, after a excellent French open, is at 18 with the next highest rank Heather "Out in round 2" Watson at 122. Despite Judy Murray trying very hard to get grass roots tennis off the ground there's nothing showing at the professional level. Aye, she's consistent.

Probably some time after 4:30, guaranteed quality and drama. Nadal to win in 4 sets. 11/4. Earlier, around 1:00pm Cameron Norrie, Scottish, could beat Nishikori and could make somebody some money as he's 9/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just over 3 hours of quality tennis and, as EAB posted above, an audacious under arm serve from Kyrgios was pure entertainment. I'm exhausted.

faraway saint Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Murray and his partner win 3-1, reasonable but serving was erratic. It'll be interesting how he gets on with Williams as I've noticed she looks tired early in her singles matches. She's always been a big unit but look as though she's carrying extra timber.

faraway saint Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 The 15 year old wonder girl Coco Gauff wins in a match lasting 2 hrs 45 mins or so. Not the best tennis match but the drama and tension was hard to beat. Murray up next with Serena, Hollywood pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 Quite amusing with the BBC still mentioning that Murray won the doubles event at Queens yet barely mention he tumbled out in the first match at the next tournament. Also yesterdays defeat in the mens is hardly worth a mention compared to his win with Williams. Anyhow, next up for the dream team is the 14th seeds. Proving to be a scheduling problem for Wimbledon to try to get them on the centre court or court 1 to meet demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
