Xela Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Terrible way to treat a sporting hero. Australia should be ashamed. First they bully the England cricket team into losing 4-0 and now this. Disgrace. Edited January 16, 2022 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 A good day for British tennis. Watson and Evans through, Murray raging against the dying of the flight and a good win for Raducanu in a tough first round draw. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Reality check for Murray. 2 sets down against an absolute **** no mark ranked 128 in the world. I didn't expect Murray to go far, indeed I'd have had him losing to Sinner in round 3, but this is a shambolic and rather sad performance. A shadow of himself. Maybe his body just can't last anymore. Had a good run before the slams, but already seems to be on empty. Suspect he's going to lose this match in straight sets. **** wretched stuff Dan Evans got a walkover though and his next opponent spent 4 and half hours on court so that's lucky for him. Raducanu set down, and break up. So mixed day really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Murray is never going to be an consistent elite player again. He might sometimes be able to roll the clock back in a occasional game but his body won't be able to take 3-4 5 sets games in a row. Him playing at this level is a medical miracle. Look its up to him if he is happy and wants to carry on but eventually he may also think about his long term health if he keeps on playing.

In reality I'd have expected Murray to lose in the first round to the 21st seed. The fact that he is even able to play tennis matches let alone win 5 set matches at grand slams is impressive in itself. To expect him to back that up a couple of days later is a pretty tough ask and to call it "shambolic" and "wretched" is pretty silly. If this was an Andy Murray in his prime losing matches like that then I'd kind of get your point. As it is I think your comments are completely devoid of any context. "Man with metal hip struggles after 5 set first round match" shouldn't really be that much of a surprise to anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Murray and Raducanus opponents both reaching 3rd round for the first time in their career, that’s disappointing. Just Dan Evans left now? Thank god for prime Murray otherwise British tennis would have been in the doldrums for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It was never going to be the case of Raducanu dominating tennis after winning one slam. Womens tennis is so closely fought. If she can get to quarters and semis shes doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
