2021 Tennis

Kyle Edmund lost to Berdych.

Outside chance he might try and bow out at Wimbledon, but I can't imagine he will want to if he isn't going to be competitive.

The end of an era.

[captainfog]

This is sad to watch. Reckon this will be his last match. He's fighting, but his body looks broken.

This is just perfect, Murray in a nutshell. A brutal rally, amazing winner to finish it and almost single-handedly win it for GB, pure emotion in the celebration, before having the humility and grace to stop and go over to his beaten rival(s). Just amazing.

Yeah, I love how he extricates himself from the pile up to go and shake hands with the Belgian team. Class.

Im getting emotional watching all these FFS.

This one gets me everytime. The look on Murrays face when he sees the heartbroken Del Potro realise he isn't getting Olympic Gold takes over his own sense of joy. And then the embrace at the net. 2 absolutely phenomenal sportsmen.

What a ****ing legend.

Small counties like ours don’t often get global superstars and the one thing I liked about Murray was that he was able to represent Great Britain whilst being truly Scottish.

We have the McIlroy situation that never seemed to fit as well.

Sorry to see him go but he won grand slams in the time of the 3 of the greatest ever tennis players. In another era he would have dominated the game.

He's had an amazing career and he can be super proud of himself. It's probably for the best that he quits now though before he gets caught for doping. Same applies to Nadal, Djokovic and probably a few others.

I'm being a tit of course, and I've no proof, but I've always suspected it. No one can be that fit without assistance.

I think this is where the injuries come from too, they've pushed their bodies way beyond what they would normally be capable of.

[Buzzo]

Yeah, i welled up at some of the coverage this morning. It's heartbreaking seeing him not see out his wonderful career on his own terms. One of the good guys as well.

Yeah.

Didn't think he's be the first of the big 4 to go he was flying before the injury took him.

Becoming of the end of an era.

We will still talk about them in 30/40/50 years...

[Buzzo]

Christ I feel genuinely gutted this morning.

Me too

It's really emotional reading the tributes to his career, and hitting to think that it is pretty much the end for him.

I'll go as far as to say he is my favourite ever sportsperson. Tennis is instantly a worse game without him. In the era of the superstar he felt like a normal guy with incredible talent and desire who was fighting (and holding his own) against alone absolute titans.I

I just hope he makes it to Wimbledon as tries to serve volley his way through the tournament.

[RichC]

Held his own for a period of time in an era of tennis where we've got 3 of the best to ever play the game.

Real shame it's going to end like this for him but the strain it must take on you to try and keep up with Federer, Djokovic and Nadal is insane.

Also highlights I guess that Federer and Nadal in particular are freaks of nature

[Shaggy]

Press conference was hard to watch.

I love him. He's an inspirational bloke.
