Muzza!

I'm not sure if Ferrer is getting a slagging here he doesn't deserve, but Murray is the King of the understated celebration.

Nah, Ferrer is one of my favorites but I always get a kick out of his victory celebrations no matter where he wins one. That is one of the reasons I want to see him win a Slam someday. Can you imagine the way he will express his joy? I cannot.

Andy Murray says he will practise again this afternoon and then decide whether his legs are up to competing (for 3rd week running) in Rome

Great win for Murray, well deserved win, he's the best on clay for the moment. Hope he 'll have a good RG (why not a win ??)

Just saw that he pulled out of Rome.

Color me shocked! I'm sure he would have preferred just skipping it altogether, but he's only at 500+ wins! :nono :angel:

No, citing fatigue is always a possibility for a good reason, they will not get penalized.
Remember, JMDP did that right before he won the USO in 2009.
he skipped Cincy citing fatigue, after being 2 weeks in a row in finals at Washington and Montreal.
Andy could have done that too, without entering. He entered though and now is withdrawing.
He could have skipped it from the beginning leaving the spot for someone who was committed to play.

I think he was wise to withdraw. Gives himself plenty of time to rest - and actually visit sites in Roma - and then prepare for Paris. He's had a successful run so far on clay...

murray goes into the French open win a 10-0 record on clay this year.

slide and win, serve and win, volley and win, win and win, win win and winwin, win win win win win WIN ......(and win).

or think outside the box and forget about winning but remember to forget to lose.

Happy Birthday to Andy Murray! Turns 28 today. May your 28th year be one to remember!

Happy Birthday Andy, enjoy this special day with Kim

Andy Murray to give Djokovic a run for his money at French Open

Let's go Muzza! Take Paris!

 

[Kirijax]

The draw is out!

Muzza's potential opponents:

R1 Qual
R2 Pospisil/Sousa
R3 Kyrgios
R4 Isner
QF Ferrer
SF Nole/Rafa

Certainly not an easy draw. Was hoping for another Djokovic-Murray final. How about a Murray-Nishikori final?

Andy Murray can take advantage of Nadal’s confidence crisis to win French Open title, says Jim Courier

 

[GameSetAndMath]

The draw is out!

Muzza's potential opponents:

R1 Qual
R2 Pospisil/Sousa
R3 Kyrgios
R4 Isner
QF Ferrer
SF Nole/Rafa

Certainly not an easy draw. Was hoping for another Djokovic-Murray final. How about a Murray-Nishikori final?

Muzza will get killed by Kyrgios and if he manages to survive that, he will go a long way until he gets killed by the winner of Rafa/Novak.

I really can't see Andy getting through that gauntlet of top players, no matter how well he's playing! He falls back into a defensive mode so quickly and best of 5 is going to do him in long before he gets to the semi IMO! I could be totally mistaken, but that's what I feel at this time! He peaked too early winning Munich and Madrid like that; can't last! That's why they call them upsets! :snicker :laydownlaughing

Love this pic!

potential Murray v Nick "walrus of lurrve" Kyrgios looming in round three. possible classic.

 

[DarthFed]

I think Murray will get past Kyrgios without too much trouble similar to AO. I think a Murray-Ferrer QF would be interesting...as interesting as a match with Ferrer can be.

 

[Kirijax]

On to the third round and a match with Krygios!

Andy Murray reaches French Open third round with Joao Sousa win

 

[Kirijax]

Good solid win by Murray over Kyrgios. I'll admit I was a bit worried but Murray played well on the important points. He constructed the points well, while Kyrgios had to go all-or-nothing and too often it was nothing. On to the 4th round against Chardy!
