faraway saint Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Murray loses 4-6, what a last few games, Murray had 2 break points to make it 5-5, the young boy, after looking rattled, got his game together. Brilliant tennis from both players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Murray loses the 2nd set 2-6, no real surprise, different class at this stage, Murray simply not got what he had. Can the roof being closed give him some hope? Saved him twice earlier this week, although he wasn't playing the class of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Murray 0-4 down in the 3rd, sad to see, as I said over a year ago. Edited July 2, 2021 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Murray out, beaten easily 3 sets to zero. 4-6, 2-6, 2-6. Put up a fight in the first set, after that, all too predictable. Thanks for the memories, you've been astounding, time to give it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad for someone who has just sat her A levels. So 4 Brits in the 3rd round - Murray, Evans, Norrie and Raducanu. Very tough draws for all of them as you'd expect at this stage. Evans looks to have the best chance of getting through and will play a lower ranked player in the 4th round if he does so. He looks a pretty good bet for the quarter finals. Anything else will be a bonus but all 3 remaining players are clearly fighters so who knows. If they had been fit and free of covid, we could reasonably have expected both Konta and Kyle Edmund to have been in the 3rd round with them. On the whole, British tennis is looking pretty good at the moment. Clearly not you. 2 of your 4 out already, after tomorrow, probably the other two will join them.

If you're going to get all angry and throw some dirt, rule 1, you really shouldn't feck up your spelling and miss out a few commas. PS I was getting that worried I stuck cash on Murray to lose, aye, worried my arse. Edited July 3, 2021 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted July 3, 2021 Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Well, the day after Murray's match, slightly disappointed, I'd hoped he would have mace it closer but the brutal truth is, as he's said, lack of serious matches is a major factor in hampering his progress. Sure, in flashes, and more so in the first set, he showed some of his class but his opponent was simply much better consistently. I wasn't surprised he lost, too many people got carried away by his last match, forgetting the guy was 151'st in the world. I was 152nd at one point , honing my skills at Barshaw, Brodie park and the Anchor rec. Maybe he shouldn't stop playing, maybe he should, that's entirely down to him and his team/family. At times last night the gulf in class was embarrassing, the crowd were struggling to provide any inspiration, and that's sad. If it's his last match at Wimbledon it wasn't a fitting exit.

Looking tough for Norrie right now though. She's a breath of fresh air, playing with no fear or worries at this stage. Her next match will be tough but the real test is the next 12 months, every year there's a new star with most of them slipping back into the shadows, hardy heard of again. Murray WAS the exception, imagine 20 years ago being told a Scottish tennis player would become the world number 1, win 3 majors and reach the final in umpteen more, add in 2 Olympic Gold medals, that would have been unthinkable.
