Tennis 2016

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for a new thread.

Djokovic v Nadal in the Doha final.

Federer has Raonic in the Brisbane final.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic gave Nadal a good kicking, 6-1 6-2.

It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokobot runs all year long.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic took the first set against Fed 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three double faults from Raonic in the game gives Fed break point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed with a ballooned backhand. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic holds, 2-2.

Poor from Fed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic breaks and leads 4-3 in the second!

Fed has gone back to Rotterdam 2013 levels.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raonic wins 6-4 6-4.

Fed. :doh:

[Xhaka Can’t]

They'll be dancing in the snowy sides streets of Saskatoon!

[Kano]

GB came through 3-1 to reach the quarters of the Davis Cup.

Serbia also won 3-2 yesterday, so the two will meet just after Wimbledon, meaning Djok v Muzza.

GB's defence :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sugarpova failed a drug test at the Australian Open.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/35750285

:haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I still would.

[Kano]

That's one way to avoid having her arse kicked in every slam by Serena.

[Letters]

I'm sure 4th is consoling her.

She's hardly a 'drugs cheat' btw, if her version of events is true she's been on this medication for years to help with some medical condition and they've only just banned it. Yes, she and her team should have spotted it but some of the coverage is overly hysterical.

[Kano]

If her version is true. She's a slick PR operator so the absolute truth will never come out, unless one of her team so the dirty on her in years to come.

[Letters]

I read a book about the Ben Johnson thing the gist of which was "they're all at it".
Not sure if it's as true in other sports.

[Letters]

I still would.

Of course. She'd last longer.

[IBK]

If her version is true. She's a slick PR operator so the absolute truth will never come out, unless one of her team so the dirty on her in years to come.

Yeah - would love to know precisely what 'medical condition' the medication was supposed to treat. Its supposed to be taken for 4 weeks! Smacks of a PR stunt to me (but then i'm cynical...).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's probably in all her sweets tbf.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Of course. She'd last longer.

She'd probably have to finish herself off.

Sorry, but thats the way I roll.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Indian Wells this week.

In to the QF stage.

Djokovic v Tsonga
Nadal v Nishikori. :popcorn:
Cilic v Goffin; that's in a first set tie-break
Raonic v Monfils

Muzza went out to Delbonis in the third round. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goffin takes the first set 7-6 (7-4)!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goffin beat Cilic 7-6 (7-4) 6-2.

Raonic beat Monfils 7-5 6-3.

Djokovic beat Tsonga 7-6 (7-2) 7-6 (7-2).

Nadal beat Nishikori 6-4 6-3.

Semis:

Djokovic v Nadal
Goffin v Raonic

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic and Raonic won. Final is on at 8pm I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azarenka takes the first set against Serena 6-4. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Serena getting a good kicking. Azarenka 4-1 up in the second set.

Don't fuck it up!

[Master Splinter]

FFS. :doh:

Azarenka fails to serve it out at 5-2.

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka wins 6-4 6-4!

Serena :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Serena. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic won 6-2 6-0. His reign of terror goes on.

[Marc Overmars]

So where do you Tennis guys stand on the row about equal pay?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's not their fault it isn't best of five at Slams but I think it's unfair for equal pay at those tournaments.

[Letters]

http://metro.co.uk/2016/03/21/novak-djokovic-is-right-male-tennis-players-do-deserve-to-be-paid-more-than-female-stars-5765546/

tbh.

If there's more interest in the men's game then it's going to generate more money ergo they should get more money.
The equality argument goes out of the window when you're talking about a profession where the money earned is proportional to the money generated.

[The Wengerbabies]

So where do you Tennis guys stand on the row about equal pay?
Where is there to stand but with common sense?

It's not a wage its prize money. Where do they think the money comes from?

Sponsors and ticket sales are disproportionately in favour of the mens game yet they get a much small % of the revenue. 'Equal pay' would be giving the men more.

You don't pay men and women footballers the same, rugby players don't get the same as footballers etc.

In the entertainment industry its not equal pay for equal work, you get your market value. The men's game is more marketable simple as that.

The Indian Wells tournament director was spot on. As was Djokovic though he was forced to retracted his statements due to the feminazis and regressive left. I guarantee Roger and Rafa feel the same but won't say anything becuase speaking the truth has consequences these days.

If the mens and womens GS were played seperately the mens revenue would hardly change (may even go up tbh) whereas the womens would tank.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miami Masters is on this weekend and all next week.

Old Man Fed has the flu. :rose:

This after needing knee surgery from running a bath for his kids. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

So where do you Tennis guys stand on the row about equal pay?

Fuck women, that's what I say.

[GP]

Fuck women

Gay

[Niall_Quinn]

Gay

I don't care what she's called, I'll pretty much do anything.

[Kano]

Equal pay in tennis? Sure, why not. I only pay to go to Wimbledon and it doesn't affect me one little bit if male and female sportsman receive the same money, as there is more than enough to go round. Both sexes take home ridiculous pay for what they do, so as a symbol of equality, then by all means, even it out. Only those with a personal issue or grudge should have any problem with it. The game is awash with money and it shouldn't affect the casual spectator at all.

[Master Splinter]

Azarenka beat Kuznetsova 6-3 6-2 to win the ladies Miami title.


Djokomaton 5.4 has just pounded poor Nishikori into the dirt, winning 6-3 6-3 to win a record 28th Masters title.

Only Beast Mode Stan can stop this freak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monte Carlo Masters:

The reign of terror has ended!

Djokovic was dumped out 6-4 2-6 6-4 by Vesely!

Old Man Fed beat Batista-Agut 6-2 6-4.

Muzza beat Paire 2-6 7-5 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed was dumped out by Tsonga, he plays Monfils in one of the semi-finals.

Nadal has beaten Muzza 2-6 6-4 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal won Monte Carlo and Barcelona.

He is against Muzza in the Madrid Masters but dropped the first set 7-5.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal serving to stay in the match. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Which he does. Muzza to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Match point for Muzza!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He put it long though on a routine backhand. Deuce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nadal breaks back, Muzza you clown.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza does win though, 7-5 6-4!

[Master Splinter]

Muzza already a break down in the final against Djokovic.

2-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Botovic was just in for repairs at Monte Carlo.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic takes the first set 6-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza took the second set 6-3. :bow:

[Kano]

Botovic up 2-0 in the third and serving.

Muzza :doh:

[Kano]

The Muzz breaks back! 2-1, on Muzza's serve again.

[Kano]

:doh:

4-2 Botovic

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza double faults, Championship point for the Cyborg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with an ace!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza holds, Djokovic to serve it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-30. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three break points, malfunctioning bot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a fourth break point goes begging.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a fifth. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe 7th time lucky, he blew the 6th.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Championship point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deuce. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus wept, seventh break point goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Third Championship point!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic finally wins 6-2 3-6 6-3 to win the Madrid Masters.

On to Rome for the Replicant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Botovic took out Nadal 7-5 7-6 (7-4) in Rome.

He has Nishikori, Muzza had Pouille in the semi-finals.

Old Man Feed is struggling, though clay is no good for him these days. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza hammered Pouille 6-1 6-2.

Djokovic with a MTO one game in against Nishikori.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky take the opportunity to shill a programme on England playing Cricket in the 90's. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Back playing now but Djokovic caused the injury himself by trying to hit his shoe with his racquet getting the clay off and missing.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori breaks. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nishikori took the first set 6-2. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djokovic takes the second set 6-4.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goes to a tie-break for the decider. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three match points for Djokovic. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Botovic wins 2-6 6-4 7-6 (7-5).

[adzzzbatch]

Murray 1 set up against Djokovic, you now how this will go though.

[Master Splinter]

Djokovic has been off-colour all week and has been tested by some pubbers.

Plus, he's played three gruelling matches in a row.

If Muzza doesn't get a win against him today, he never will.

[adzzzbatch]

Well he's just got another break!

[Master Splinter]

What a point to win it!

Muzza gives Djokovic a good 6-3 6-3 kicking to win his first Italian Open title!

Murray the clay king :bow:.

Malfunctioning Djokobot :rose:.

[Kano]

Muzza wins 6-3, 6-3 :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Muzza.

Djokovic. :haha:

Self-destructed yesterday whacking himself with his racquet.

[Kano]

Two year ban for Shara. Probably been taking that and other drugs for six years and still couldn't been Serena :lol:

:wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sugarpova. :haha:

Nadal withdraws from Wimbledon. Wrist injuries. :rose:

[Kano]

Murray and Lendl are back working together again.

It could be that the Terminator could have a worthwhile challenger after all.

Murray rolls up at Queens tomorrow.

[Kano]

Gasquet dumped out in two sets at Queens yesterday.

And Warwinka follows suit, losing in straight sets to Verdasco.

Muzza up next.

[Kano]

Muzza won the first set 7-6, currently 6-5 to Mahet second set, Muzza on serve.

[Kano]

Murray wins the second set 7-6 also.

Good match, Mahut played well throughout.

[Kano]

Raonic beats Kyrgios in three sets.

[Kano]

Raonic and Murray through at Queens.

[Kano]

Queens QF, Muzza broken in second set by Kyle Edmond :lol:

[Kano]

Muzza pounds the fake Brit 6-1 in the third.

[Kano]

Muzza 3-2 up, with a break, against Cilic in the Queens semi.

Fed loses to Zverev in the Halle semi :rose:

[Kano]

6-3 first set to Le Muz.

[Kano]

6-4 second set to Cilic :popcorn:

[Kano]

Third set to Murray, 6-3.

Final on tomorrow.

[Kano]

Raonic to face Murray in the final tomorrow after beating Tomic in straight sets.

Lendl v McEnroe :popcorn:

[Kano]

Raonic wins the first set 7-6 before Muzza smashes up his racket at the sit down.

[Kano]

Murray broken in the second game of the second set, 2-0 Raonic, who is serving next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muzza. :doh:

[Kano]

He's broken back (mountain). 3-3, 15-15 currently.

[Kano]

Raonic broken again, 4-3, Muzza up next to serve.

[Kano]

Second set goes to Murray, 6-4.

Deciding set coming up.

[Kano]

Raonic broken again at start of third set.

0-1, Muzza to serve.

[Kano]

Murray wins 6-7 (5-7), 6-4, 6-3

Five Queens titles won by Murray now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed is out for the remainder of the season.

:rose:

[Kano]

Time to retire old man.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray already back in action in Cincinnati. What an athlete!

[Kano]

Guess it makes sense when the Open starts in just over a week.

Nadal's back too. Not sure if Novak is playing before the US Open.

Just when I thought I could get my sleep pattern back to normal too :(

[adzzzbatch]

Guess it makes sense when the Open starts in just over a week.

Nadal's back too. Not sure if Novak is playing before the US Open.

Just when I thought I could get my sleep pattern back to normal too :(

Tennis players are like machines! and footballers complain if they have to play 2 matches in a week.

Yeah Nadal lost 6-1, 6-3 I doubt he'll ever get back to the level he was, it's not surprising given the intensity he used to play at.

:lol: nope you can't sleep properly until after the US!

[adzzzbatch]

Oh Murray's at it again, throwing his serve away :rolleyes:

He does look pretty knackered though!

[adzzzbatch]

Breaks back :bow: 3-3 in the first

[adzzzbatch]

Murray takes the first set against Anderson 6-3 :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Murrays wins 6-3, 6-2

600 tour wins! Only the 5th player to achieve it.

[Goonermerree]

Tennis players are like machines! and footballers complain if they have to play 2 matches in a week.

Yeah Nadal lost 6-1, 6-3 I doubt he'll ever get back to the level he was, it's not surprising given the intensity he used to play at.

:lol: nope you can't sleep properly until after the US!

The Brownlee brothers are competing in two weeks too!

Novak should have the edge in the US open being as he went out of the Olympic competition so soon.

[Kano]

Depends if all those tears broke his circuitry.

[adzzzbatch]

I think "they" were saying he's a doubt for the open, but I would not be surprised if he's able to regenerate like Borg before then.

[adzzzbatch]

Andy isn't look too great tonight, bit of a slow start.

[adzzzbatch]

I don't want him to, but I think he should retire, he looks like he's grimacing through every point.

[adzzzbatch]

Then he breaks Tomic in the first set 3-2 :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

First set 6-4! :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Murray wins 6-4, 6-4 :bow: :bow: :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Murray playing Raonic in the semi-finals tonight. More rain delays.

[adzzzbatch]

Raonic looking pretty good after losing his serve in the first game. Murray looks knackered again.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray wins the first set 6-3 :bow:

[Kano]

Unless it's the QF or beyond I have to say fuck the US Open early rounds. Just can't do it this year :oldboy:

[adzzzbatch]

Dude! and I thought you needed less sleep as you got older :run:

[Kano]

Had the exact same thought this morning tbh.

But watching Andy and Novak flash past everyone else into the latter stages just isn't going to do it for me.

Those ten hour plus lie ins feel like a myth right now.

[adzzzbatch]

I think it has all the makings of a great tournament this year, but I do take your point about the ease in which Andy and Novak go through, however I'm almost certain Murray will make a meal of one or two of the rounds he plays!

[adzzzbatch]

Andy nearly takes the umpire out with his football skills :lol:

Should've got a warning though even though it wasn't deliberate.

[adzzzbatch]

I feel sorry for the ball boys and girls on hardcourts them having to dry the court with towels.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray is in the final 6-3, 6-3!!! :bow: :bow: :bow:

I really hope he can get the world number 1 spot!

I don't care I'm talking to myself, no one says anything about Maccy when he does it!

[Kano]

Still got quite a distance point wise to take first.

What I'd like to see him win his the Aussie slam. He's lost so many finals his chances are almost up now.

His learning curve (and Nadal's downfall) took him to the French final too. If he could nab a career Grand Slam that would be fitting. He has the all round game to do it.

[adzzzbatch]

For sure there is still a decent points gap, it's not unsalable though and Andy has said it himself how it would be such an achievement in his career.

I for one would like to see him the Aussie open too! The hardcourts are his best surface (although you could say it's almost negligible now) something doesn't seem quite right in his prep for the final there maybe Lendl can sort that out.

I do think it's a little unfair to accredit some of Andy's success to Nadal's unfortunate luck with injury and poor form, not that I mean to accuse you of doing that! I just don't think he commands the respect, for what he's done, that he deserves IMHO.

[Kano]

I credit him reaching the French final for the first time in allignment more with Nadal falling off. Even Sampras couldn't reach the final, so he has a great chance to win it. How Botovic comes back will determine how many more slams Andy can get. But aside from Nadal's freakish domination of the French, Murray deserves all the credit coming his way.

[Master Splinter]

Kerber currently well and truly bottling the chance to become world number one. She's losing 6-3 5-1 to Pliskova in the Cincy final.

Not a great week for her.


Muzza v Cilic coming up after this.

[adzzzbatch]

And she has been well and truly been thrashed.

[Master Splinter]

Germans and finals. :rolleyes:

[adzzzbatch]

:lol:

Murray up very soon :scarf: :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Muzza is the best lobber ever tbh.

2-1 in the first set.

[adzzzbatch]

Andy :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Cilic breaks for a 3-2 lead.

[adzzzbatch]

Not a great first set from Murray, but credit to Cilic.

[adzzzbatch]

Double break :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Andrew Murray :doh:.

[adzzzbatch]

Got one of them straight back, will still probably lose the set though.

[adzzzbatch]

Loses the first set 4-6 :doh:

[adzzzbatch]

I think this might be a straight sets loss tonight, disappointing, but not surprising the amount of tennis he's played!

[adzzzbatch]

Murray gets a time penalty for being right on the 25 seconds. :rolleyes:

Why does it seem that no other player gets called on time violations?

[adzzzbatch]

Poor Andy :(

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off umpire!

[Master Splinter]

Umpires who want their 10 minutes of fame. Pathetic.

Strange that it would be Cilic to end the run.

[Master Splinter]

Well done Cilic.

Muzza hasn't got Djokovic's ruthless robot efficiency to help him win when he's running on fumes.

[adzzzbatch]

Umpires who want their 10 minutes of fame. Pathetic.

Strange that it would be Cilic to end the run.

It's fucking stupid!

Well deserved winner though Cilic played very well.

I'd thought Murray looked completely worn out in his previous rounds and guess the tank ran out and so has the chance of World #1 as well.

[Goonermerree]

Murray needs to sleep until the day before the US Open starts, then have a light training session, then come out fresh and racket a-blazing!

[Kano]

Muzza v Del Potro in the first game of the Davis semi

One set all, 3-3 in the third, both broken each other once. Muzza up to serve next.

[Kano]

DP breaks again, 3-4

[Kano]

Muzza breaks back and holds serve for 6-5 in the third.

[Kano]

4-1 to Muzza in the deciding game

[Kano]

Muzza takes the third 7-5

[Kano]

Edmund takes the first set 7-6 (7-5) against Pella.

[Kano]

Pella pulls it back with the second set 6-4

[Kano]

Pella took the third 6-3 and is up 2-1 in the fourth with a break

:rose:

[Kano]

Edmund beaten in the end.

GB 2-0 and looking like last year was a one off.

[Kano]

The Muzzas break twice to lead 4-0 in the first set of the doubles.

[adzzzbatch]

:bow:

[Kano]

6-1 first set

[Kano]

Tina break in the second to go 2-0 up.

[adzzzbatch]

Only Murray gets time violations it seems :rolleyes:

[Kano]

One set a piece now.

[adzzzbatch]

Andy really letting the side down.

[Kano]

Andy takes the advantage and breaks back, 4-4

[Kano]

GB take the second set 6-4!

[Kano]

Three match points for GB!

[Kano]

And they take it!

1-2 and it will probably all come down to Del Potro v Evans or Edmund tomorrow.

[Kano]

When the interviewer mentioned his grandad yesterday, it looked like Muzza wanted to clump him :lol:

[Master Splinter]

It has to be Evans. He's more talented and unpredictable.

Edmund is basically a huge forehand and not much else.

[Kano]

Evans will provide more of an all round challenge but I can't see either of them winning. Unless DP is dead.

[Kano]

Muzza up against Pella soon.

They've gone for Edmund against DP which will be straight forward for the big man.

[Kano]

4-1 to the Muzz.

Some talk it may be Evans and Mayer in the final rubber, which would be a lot more interesting.

[Kano]

6-3 first set to Andy

[Kano]

3-1 in the second to Muzza

[Kano]

5-1

[Kano]

6-2 in the second

[Kano]

Murray playing on one leg in the third set.

[Kano]

Drawn back to 2-2.

Down to the deciding rubber.

Evans v DP or Mayer?

[Master Splinter]

The battle between the 'Tennis' and 'Davis Cup' threads has been fascinating.

[Kano]

Mayer it is.

Definitely winnable.

[Master Splinter]

It is Mayer after all.

BBC trying to turn it into a Mourinho mind gaming masterclass to no avail.

[Kano]

Evans breaks first, 2-1 up

[Kano]

Evans takes the first set 6-4

[Kano]

Mayer takes the second 6-3

[Kano]

Evans needs to get with it, 5-1 down in the second now.

[Kano]

Mayer takes it 6-2.

Make or break time this set for Evans and GB.

[Kano]

Mayer a break up in the third, 3-2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Argentina win!

Dan Evans' reaction. He's a bit angry I think.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray plays Dimitrov in the final of the China Open tomorrow morning; 10:30ish

Konta plays in the woman's final before him.

[adzzzbatch]

Little late than I thought.

Come on Andy! :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Murray serving for the match gets broken to love :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bautista Agut beat Djokovic 6-4 6-4 in the Shanghai semi-final. :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

Murray isn't exactly mentally focused atm.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray won in straight sets :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Andy wins another Masters tournament what a guy! :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Number 1 seems likely soon. :popcorn:

[adzzzbatch]

On Murray marches :bow::bow::bow:

[Goonermerree]

Djokovic in action in Paris. Dimitrov has won the first set.

[adzzzbatch]

Djokovic won in the end though as did Murray.

[adzzzbatch]

cilic won the first set against djo 6-4, currently 4-2 in the 2nd set tie-break. :popcorn:

[adzzzbatch]

cilic wins!! 6-4, 7-6(7-2)

Don't fuck this up Andy :pray:

[Goonermerree]

Come on Andy, what an achievement for a Brit to be number one. As I understand it, he only had to get to the final now. Come on!!

[adzzzbatch]

Long tie-break going on in the first set against berdych.

[adzzzbatch]

Murray wins the first set against berdych 7-6(11-9) :bow: :bow: :bow:

From 1-6 in the tie-break!

[adzzzbatch]

A break up in the second now.

[adzzzbatch]

berdych breaks back :doh: 5-5

[Goonermerree]

Come on Andy, just do it!!!

[adzzzbatch]

But Murray breaks him again :bow: 6-5

[Goonermerree]

Is this three sets?

[adzzzbatch]

Is this three sets?

Yep, all ATP matches are best of 3.

[Goonermerree]

Murray blowing up with three match points.

[adzzzbatch]

7-6(11-9),6-4

in to the semis!

[Goonermerree]

One more match

[Goonermerree]

Murray playing Raonic, whom he beat in the Wimbledon final. I wonder if he's much better on a different surface, or improved a lot. A Murray win is wall we want now.

[Goonermerree]

He is Number one without hitting a ball today. His opponent has withdrawn through injury. Well done Andy!!!!:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Muzza

Djokovic's reign of terror is over.

[adzzzbatch]

Disappointing that there isn't going to be a match today, but well done Murray!! :bow: :scarf: :cheer: :bow: :scarf: :cheer:

[Kano]

Numero uno :bow:

Another Aussie final defeat on its way no doubt :doh:

[Goonermerree]

Ah well, we just have to make the most of a Brit being number one while it lasts.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Disappointing that there isn't going to be a match today, but well done Murray!! :bow: :scarf: :cheer: :bow: :scarf: :cheer:

I think in Tennis whenever it's reported that someone is unbeatable/invulnerable it's setting them up for a fall

The assumption was made of Roger Federer and lets be fair he was at his peak ten years ago now, Rafael Nadal who arguably would have dominated if not for constant injury and Djokovic for all his brilliance is prone to both injury and mental frailty.

[Master Splinter]

Muzza :bow:.

[Goonermerree]

5-2 up first set

[Goonermerree]

First set in the bag for Murray

[adzzzbatch]

Easy does it!

I knew watching Murray would cheer me up!

[Goonermerree]

Be the best in style!!

[Goonermerree]

15-40 on Murray's save for 5-3 to Isner

[adzzzbatch]

Sort it out Andy!

[Kano]

He's bottled it

[adzzzbatch]

He's bottled it

Arsenaled it up.

[Goonermerree]

Has Isner not read the script?

[Kano]

Muzza wins tennis :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Look at that rankings table, glorious sight! Murray :bow:

[Letters]

Muzza :bow:
