Andy Murray/Tennis thread 2014

Got to put m'girl to bed in a minute. Grrr. That's many games gone.

It'll be over by the time you get back. He is serving so poorly.

[mick the click]

ER, can I backtrack a little bit? Murray's head seems to have gone again.

[mick the click]

Can't see a great comeback from here. However, 'tis tennis.

[Chris]

That was a bit of a weak end. Will this be the first year he's never beaten one of Djokovic, Nadal and Fed if he flops at the O2?

[mick the click]

I think he's looking good. Six weeks on the road has sharpened him up but he doesn't have the mental strengths of the three (realistically) above him and he's running out of time to compete with them. He's having a great career and I can see another slam in it for him.

Ha! It's sport - wtf is predictable? I'm probably talking tosh. Not for the first time.

Didn't realise his record against Raonic was so poor. Still, either group was going to be tough and I reckon Muzza has the slightly better one.

Can probably afford to lose one of his matches in the group?

[Shaggy]

Definitely got the better group.

[RichC]

Yeah you can lose 1 match in the groups and still get through.

Easier group but still pretty tough and thats without Nadal being there as well.

[BobTheCharmer]

which games will you get to see casey?

[Buzzo]

Saying that - other than Novak, Murray has a decent record against Cilic, Berdych and Wawrinka. If he plays to his best he'll do fine, anything less and he'll get dumped out early.

[RichC]

which games will you get to see casey?

Dunno not sure the schedule has been released yet - it's the Friday evening matches so one doubles and one singles

Hoping for Murray Fed but I doubt it !

[RichC]

Murray playing Nishikori in the opening match of the tour finals 2-2 in the first set at the moment but Murray has 3 break points.

[Buzzo]

Murray loses first set is the way only he can, almost beating himself. If the Murray serve is not firing - he loses.

Break down already in the second.

[Buzzo]

Murray loses 6-4, 6-4.
