He could be a real force at Wimbledon I reckon if he gets his rhythm back.Modifying post.Comment

Murray beaten easily. Hard to take watching him losing all the time.
Mind you Auger-Aliassime looks an unbelievable prospect.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

I suspect the efforts of Monday were going to be in repeatable.
Was reading that he is ticking off some milestones. He beat a top ten player, he’s won a 5 setter, he’s played a slam, won his first tournament.
Difficult to know what the expectations can be after so long out, but we’ve definitely had these discussions about Nadal and Federer in the past. It’s just that Murray’s style is so all action and playing every 2 days in a Slam is so physically challenging.
Good to see him back on court though.Modifying post.Comment

What an amazing attitude. Just one more. Please!!!
"It was hard enough when I had two normal hips," the 33-year-old said.
"So it will be difficult, but I'll keep trying - why not? Why shouldn't I try my hardest to do that? And if I don't, that's all right. But I might as well shoot for the stars."
"I feel like I'm back at square one, having not played in slams for a few years," he said. "I need to build up my body and my physical conditioning so that I have the ability to back up five-set matches.
"That takes a bit of time, unfortunately."
He added: "You practice as much as you want with your coach or juniors, but playing against guys that are serving 135, 140 miles an hour and hitting the ball huge from the back of the court, your timing needs to be spot on.
"So the more I get exposed to playing with better players and practising with them, the better for me just now."
Murray says he can take positives from the past two weeks at Flushing Meadows though, having won two matches at the Western and Southern Open before coming from two sets and a break down to overcome Yoshihito Nishioka in nearly four hours and 40 minutes in the US open first round on Tuesday.
He will now turn his attention to the clay and preparing for the delayed French Open, which is scheduled to start on 27 September at Roland Garros.
"I would say even after tonight I'm more positive about what I could do in Grand Slams than I was before I came over here. You obviously don't know how I was feeling even just a couple of months ago," he said.
"I played a couple of tough matches in [the Western and Southern Open] and I played certainly one very tough match here, and my right hip felt good. That's really, really positive.
"There is other things that need to get better, but I would say that I'm more positive now than what I was a couple of months ago, that's for sure."Modifying post.Comment

It's ****ing funny all the same ha ha!Klopp on LFC vs MUFC (March 9th 2016) - "This is why I love football. This is why we watched it when we were young. I can still not have enough of it."
Always, keep your face to the sun, and shadows will fall behind you.Comment

Fair enough because the rules are the rules but further highlights my unpopular opinion that tennis has such a pussy culture. I think football is pretty soft these days, but there wouldn't be the same fallout if a player booted a ball and it happened to smash a ball boy in the face. Obviously there would be a bit of an uproar but it'd disappear.
She went down like a sack of potatoes and really embellished it. You'd swear that Mike Tyson landed a trademark uppercut on her after that shriek.Comment

There are too many ridiculous elements to that.
A pussy culture - it’s tennis FFS. Also, if you get hit on the throat by a ball it will hurt. You’ll not need hospital, but it will hurt.
Football wise I forget which player it was (Arsenal) but they got suspended for a few games for pushing over a ball boy.
Every sport needs rules.Modifying post.Comment

Except if Serena does it, she will cry sexism and racism and half of the world will turn on the officials. Huge double standard.Originally posted by Buzzo View Post
If you read my comments I say, that I agree due to the nature of the rules. Just think the sports takes itself too seriously.
In terms of it being soft, I mean the culture of the sport overall. The need for quiet, the apologising for hitting the ball off the net etc. It's unnecessarily sanitised, harden up. Imagine telling the opposition not not sledge you in cricket or the crowd to not make a noise, a sport where concentration is 100 times more essential than tennis (batting wise anyway).
I've teed off in golf with my mates making a racket behind me and belted 250m+ drives straight down the line. I'm not a great golfer, but if I can concentrate with that, how can Djokovic not serve if one person in attendance starts coughing ffs...
