Andy Murray/Tennis thread 2013

Amazing isn't it. When he's done it to Federer, Fed seems to get a bit bitter and makes out Djokovic just smashes hit and hope shots and he always gets lucky.

The way they can all (top 4) hit the lines at pace is just crazy, especially if you have played any tennis. Djoko just seems able to come back blazing after he has been broken and goes for more big winners. He does it way to often to be flukey.

As you mentioned above I hope Rog hangs the blazer and racket up soon. I'd hate to see him languishing in the rankings spouting ****e like that. He used to do it to EVERYONE back in the day.

I used to play and while I was half decent most times I tried to leather the ball as hard as I could I normally sent it about 200 yards out of the court.

Yeah, I used to play mostly with heavy, heavy slice. Occasional devastating backhand, and if I tried to leather a forehand it would hit orbit.

Bullet like if wayward first serve and a total dolly of a second serve.

Nadal is back and pulling his boxers out of his arse *every* game.

Good luck not noticing that now.

Absolutely pathetic second serve

I had a mate who sliced nearly everything - in fact it he'd either slice or just "get it back" by any means necessary and keep doing so until you made a mistake...and when he played me I'd be going for winners all the time. And missing.

I could pull off the top spin lob but had real trouble with the leathered top spin forehand. Just couldn't do it.

I just don't get it. Why does he do that so much? Nobody else in mens tennis seems to suffer from a sweaty crack...

He has a cheeky sniff afterwards as well.

I guess it's like a ritual that he does automatically. Odd, mind.

Cracking game of tennis this.

Played once. Twisted my wrist. Never went back to playing tennis again

Looks like Rafa can break Djokovic back. Tense times these.

[destinydude]

****ing hell Novak.

[Buzzo]

Hope they both run themselves into the ground and struggle to recover for Wimbledon.

EPIC 'kitchen sink' tennis though.

[Buzzo]

7-7 in the 5th..!

[JohnDoe]

I'm pissed.

[wiw]

Lame. Can't stand Nadal for some reason. Not entirely sure why

[Buzzo]

Its the pants thing.

[Muddled]

+1.

Go Ferrer!
