I haven't seen a moment of his play, due to ESPN sparse showing of the Aus Open. I was going to ask who here HAS seen him play, and if he looks at all hampered. Nehmeth says he's hitting as well as ever, so that has to imply he's unhampered. I haven't heard anyone else weigh in. Except that Margaret says he took a MTO in this last one. (Let me guess: after he dropped the 2nd set?
)
He did have a group of "Where's Wally" who had too much to drink, and Novak complained to the umpire, they were drunk and not in the stadium to watch tennisI haven't seen a moment of his play, due to ESPN sparse showing of the Aus Open.

eee...wrong. it was mid 2nd setExcept that Margaret says he took a MTO in this last one. (Let me guess: after he dropped the 2nd set?
. i haven't watched him too, so it is hard for me to say. There might be something small, but he is making it bigger like last time he played and won AO, that is my guess.
Don he was 5-4 when he took the MTO....2nd seteee...wrong. it was mid 2nd set
It was epic. And high quality. One of those matches when it’s a shame someone has to lose. But it may end up being the best match of the tournament, or at least the most dramatic.
"Where's Wally??" Careful, Novak...Nick got in trouble at Wimbledon for calling a woman drunk. lol.He did have a group of "Where's Wally" who had too much to drink, and Novak complained to the umpire, they were drunk and not in the stadium to watch tennis
Hello this is 2023, Novak has his personal protector at the AO, Craig Tiley
I still don't totally get it, but I don't think it's a stretch if they were drunk. lol
You know at night matches especially, people love a drink, I know I have been at the AO at night matches and had a few drinks, though players at times have to at times shut the crowd out, unless they become really rowdy,disrupt their fellow tennis fans around them
I think Murray's fitness for long matches is under-appreciated. Yes, he has a metal hip and he's 35, but he trains hard in the heat of Florida, and prepares to go long. Kokkinakis is young, but he's had tons of bad injury luck. He's "younger than his years" in terms of experience in the big moments, if you ask me. And I saw the stat above that says Murray is tied for most 2-sets down comebacks. It's kind of less surprising that it looks on paper.
I can say nothing, as the NY crowd likes a drink, too, and it gets rowdy late at night.
Andy said he has worked very hard the last couple of months on his fitness and strength, it shows, has paid off, some of his returns younger players would not get to those balls at all.Well done Andy I say
It's impossible to believe he's injured when he is winning sets 6-0
