2021 Tennis

His attitude is ****ing appalling

What is he doing?

He was playing really well? I don't understand it at all. Murray is the consummate pro, just ignoring it all and grinding out the games.

I'm not buying that he is injured.

[Buzzo]

4-2 Murray breaks.

Kyrgios stopped hitting second serves bizarrely and ended up double faulting. He is a maniac

[Buzzo]

Good match - Murray doing much better than I imagined so far. Looks really sharp, and fit.

Usual box of tricks from Kyrgios. If he ever sorts it out in his head he is almost unplayable.

[Buzzo]

Solid deuce win on his first service game for Andy. He is moving well so far.

Kyrgios is serving huge. 1-1.

[Buzzo]

It's **** isn't it

I can’t think about it, it’s too upsetting.

He is close to the top, of not right at the pinnacle of my all time favourite sporting hero’s.

He has had to fight so hard for everything he has won and just deserves so much more.

He is an inspiration.

Whatever happens today, I hope this is a step towards him competing at the top level. Lots of people I speak to at Tennis reckon he is stuffed and that he will never compete again at his previous levels given the type of injury he suffered. Even Andy is talking about mixing it up and playing more serve volley. He might get away with Serve Volkey at Wimbledon, but I can’t see anyone winning a Slam with serve volkey only.

There will be a chasm in British sport without him, and I am not ready to give up just yet.

[Shaggy]

Yeah I can't see him winning either. Be interesting to see how he goes.

[Buzzo]

Andy Murray back on court today after almost 12 months, playing an inform Kyrgios. I don’t think he will win, but it is great to have him back.

Who'd have thought Nadal's body would outlast the other 3

Other 3? Murray, Djokovic and ? Not sure if you can include Federer, I don't think it's his body he is preserving, just his unwillingness to compete on a surface that takes more out of a player, energy wise, than the others (and one that he knows he cannot compete with Nadal at). At 37, it seems a sensible approach that is working well for him.

Nadal cruises to yet another French open.

2006 was the first time Nadal shared the last 6 majors, 2018 and they’ve shared the last six majors. Unbelievable from the pair of them

Andy due back for Queens Club

Tennis has been dull as **** without him. I hope his hip holds out.

Don’t expect him to do much at Wimbledon but it will be great to see him back on court.
