Frann 882 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Aye, im no tennis expert but he certainly cant afford to be 2 sets down from here on in. Hope he can do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Murray as a good record when a match goes 5 sets, since 2006 he's been involved in 15 5 set matches and losing 3 to Nadal, Djokovic and Verdasco who he beat yesterday.

Seen his last one where he came back in the second set after being sloppy. It's ok coming back from 2 sets down, having that in the locker but if its taking you 5 sets every match to get to the final and your final opponent 3, only going to be 1 winner.

That would be the case if every match he was playing was a grueller of 5 sets but the 2 sets he dropped yesterday were his first this tournament and since losing to Federer in last years final he's on a 16 game win streak on grass. He's not playing again until tomorrow so plenty of time to recover from a 3 and 1/2 hour game imo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm not sure Baw........i honestly reckon he has been told to get his fitness to the highest level. Watch him play he is about as boring as his personality. He returns a high percentage of shots back to the opponent when he could have had them running around the court. I reckon he is trying to tire them out and thats why he managed to come back and win yesterday but it has failed in the past when he has met the big guns. A good start will see him beat Djokovic if he makes the final.........Oh and will he learn to get more power in his 2nd serve....jesus its like a little girl hitting it... Oh and........ COME ON ANDY YA BIG UGLY SCOTTISH b*****d YE!!!..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ha ha both of you are right. I dunno, this years the first I can't see him winning which is got to be good news for him pmsl. That dyovichkxza lol is as fit as f**k, take a lot of beating Quote Link to post Share on other sites

COME ON ANDY YA BIG UGLY SCOTTISH b*****d YE!!!..... Never played tennis then lab. Yesterdays game was a tough one for him, Verdasco has always been a class player and being a left handed player is very tricky to play against, they get so much top spin on the ball that a slice return is sometimes the only defence against them so it does look sometimes like they're just trying to get it back. Murrays fitness is right up there with probably only Djokovic being fitter and more athletic than him imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Im the opposite Baw, this year I feel like he can do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nope..........not many tennis courts where i grew up......lol But you know what i mean....when you watch players like Nadal, Federer and Djokovic they have there opponent all over the place. You can watch them play and say exactly where there going to put it next. Lost count of how many times ive watched Murray return it stright to the boy when the other side of the court is free....fed up of shouting at the tv so if he makes the final i might watch it...

Bit of an anal fact here for you baw, Nadal's top spin creates around 3200 rpm on the forehand and the guy Murray played yesterday as a rpm of around 3000 rpm but a right handed player spins it at a peak of around 2500 rpm(Federer).

Its all about styles though lab the guys you mentioned are aggressive players and play on the front foot whereas Murray is a more defensive player and will wait for his opening more, though tbh he's got much more aggressive this last 18 months.
