BTW mrzz you're a bit like me, you always grab or make an opportunity to tell people you're Brasilian, i'm even worse, usually i go like "I'm Hungarian, and this is my favourite band, Dalriada" and then start spamming Dalriada songs It's a bit like Depardieu in Ruby & Quentin: "Hello, I am Quentin from Montargis" watch that movie it's hilarious

Now that you mention it... it was strange to read it, I confess. Thx for the tips.

If this is the new Murray forehand he really is in trouble. It's like he's trying to emulate Nadal by adding a lot more topspin but the result is a horrible loopy pusher styled mess. He should stick to hitting it hard and flat or he won't be number 1 for long. Roddick did the same thing later in his career. Stopped hitting it flat and added way more topspin and became a mere shadow of his former prime self as a result. The match point against Pospisil was a horrific push fest by both guys. Didn't watch anything but that point but read Vasek played a lot of S&V which is good 'cos that last point was horrible. Seems Murray has serious issues with S&V players lately.

As I said before, I saw Murray live at USO and couldn't believe how weak his shots are.

The impending Fed v Nadal match here is generating lots of interest in tennis. Great for the sport. A front row seat at AO went for $50,000. I doubt we will get a rivalry like theirs again. Zverev v Thiem will probably be the next appealing rivalry when the older generation retires.

Not shocked with this result as Murray has often struggled in the desert & never won this Masters.Miami is better for Murray & he won here in 2013.

Perhaps we are not accustomed to what occurred more often at the top of the men's game in the nineties and early 2000s? Jim courier, Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras (not as often mind you), Carlos Moya and Marcelo rios would get upset at events FAR more often than Federer, Novak or Rafa in their primes. Roger and Novak, in particular, dominated for longer and more completely than anybody since McEnroe in 1984 or Borg in 1979-1980. Maybe we are on the road of less dominance by one or even two players?

Got a very hard draw this time @ IW if the players make it that he should face.

I'm no fan of Murray's, but he's definitely better than quite a few #1's who may have held it for quite a while like Hewitt! He's definitely better than Safin, Roddick, Moya, and Rios with fewer or no major titles! :angel: :dodgy:

You can't read, clearly. I was remarking how they both changed their forehand to loopy topspin and now everyone and their wife is beating him. Same thing happened to Roddick when he changed his forehand. Murray is just pushing the ball now. As for the rubbish remark about Mats Wilander..who the hell cares if Murray is number 1 longer than him?! Mats Wilander won 7 slams, 3 in 1988. Like to see Murray ever achieve either.

 

[sid]

Mats Wilander won 33 titles

Andy Murray won 45 titles still counting.

Mats Wilander has never won Year end Championships.

Slams Murray might add to what he has now.

Did Mats Wilander ever win Olympic Games? maybe was not played then?

Front stick that in you pipe & smoke it as you've been on the funny fags again.

You can't compare the eras of these comparable "also-rans" of their times! Wilander had to deal with a GOLDEN AGE of players from all over the world; McEnroe, Lendl, Connors, Edberg, Becker, Cash, etc.! Murray's had to overcome GOAT's, true enough, but he's had more opportunities to do well unlike past champions with more competition! :angel:

 

[sid]

Murray still playing tennis & i'm sure he will add more titles,maybe we can compare when you think of this.

ps with Murray Nole/Roger & Nadal

Connors & McEnroe were past there best & maybe Cash.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

After Andy's defeat at AO and also at IW to net rushing players who bring it up to him, I was wondering as to whether a blue print is now available for folks who want to take out Andy.

Even though Rafa is susceptible to S&V players, that usually happens to him only on grass or fast hard courts. But, Andy appears to be susceptible to it even on slow courts.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Couple of funny facts about Roger's match today.

1. He plays a guy who is older than him, happens rarely.

2. These two have never met; that is surprising considering how old both are.

IW Murray never done anything GSM AO been quite good till this year play fair lol.

Federer and Nadal are well past it too in case you hadn't noticed. No one cares about number of titles when tons are mickey mouse ones. If Murray wins 3 slams in one year and 4 more in total I'll be frankly amazed and would bet millions that it won't happen. Also, no one really cares about Olympic tennis except you. Only best of 5 in the final so it's nothing to get excited about.

S/V can only prevail against him because he's not aggressive. When you're aggressive and take the initiative first in the point you take away a S/V advantage. I also thought for someone who's very good at lobbing, he did not lob over Popsicle enough. Choosing instead to try and pass when the guy had already shown superior volley skills.

How bout DY jr vs Fed/Rafa/Novak....in the finals...boy ole orange face Larry has got to be mad as hell..

DYj ...Are you serious?
:lolz:

He dismisses the Uncle in 3
