Murray average. Williams & Murray through fairly easily. Williams was immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Murray & William lose 2-1 against the top seeds. They both played ok but the experience and class of the other pair was too much. It's been a blast, a long way for Murray to get anywhere back even close to his best I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows that himself though, hence why he opted for doubles. He won’t return to singles until/unless he genuinely believes he can challenge for titles again.

I know that's why he choose doubles but the problem is he's not going to get much court time by losing so it'll be a tournament that's not a slam where he will, IMO, return to singles. (Only 3 sets maximum) That's when he'll know where he really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Details of Murrays plans to try to get ready for singles....................... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/48941585?fbclid=IwAR2pvSSJZr3p2EYYuqMSOSHIKDlXjsqW5DfjymSZrqJNt6yOXFgG2WM1RRQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a long road but it would be great to see him return to singles competitively. If not, I hope he sticks at doubles for a while. As he said it’s great just to be on tour and get back chatting with the players you’ve toured alongside for a long time, and presuming he can’t get back to where he was in singles, doubles gives him that option to add some more trophies. Interesting to read he asked Barty and Mladenovic for the Mixed Doubles. Mladenovic has been a force on the Women’s Doubles circuit for a while (and she isn’t a bad singles player by any means either), if he could work around her strengths they may have had a decent chance of winning it.

faraway saint Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Two cracking matches in store at Wimbledon today. Djokovic v Bautista Agut, a Spaniard who's been playing well for over a year now and is no mug. 3-1 to Djokovic. Federer v Nadal........................well, two of the best players who have ever lifted a tennis bat, could be a classic. 3-2 Federer.

Federer, year after year, defies logic as a 37 year old should not be thumping everybody who he plays. Tomorrows final will be a cracker. Today Halep might upset the odds against Williams. 3 sets, could go any way. Edited July 13, 2019 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
