2021 Tennis

[Buzzo]

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.

It's **** isn't it

[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.

[Buzzo]

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

Kyrgios is serving huge. 1-1.

[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]

4-2 Murray breaks.

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

His attitude is ****ing appalling

[Buzzo]

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.

First set to Andy

Who knows what is going on with Kyrgios? I thought he was playing really well - he has just switched off. Which is doing Murrays performance a disservice... Some of the returns from Andy are incredible.

Dunno.

He does it again and again.

Of course he isn't injured, he just doesn't give a ****!

[Buzzo]

He does it again and again.

Of course he isn't injured, he just doesn't give a ****!

But he was giving a ****, ish... His serves are 130+mph when in. He just has some bizarre battles in his mind. He didn't like the crowd 'ooohing' him smack a ball into the net, and lost his way.

He has also played 3 'tweeners' and put one smash away with a pirouette.

Kyrgios breaks.

[Buzzo]

I am genuinely amazed at how well Andy is playing after a year out.

He looks good to go. Returning well. Running well. Winning rally's. He got to the semi final of Wimbledon last year on one leg so anything is possible.

Will be interesting to see how he recovers if he wins. 4-4 in the second set.

[Buzzo]

1 set all.

Decent match Kyrgios takes the second in a TB.

[Buzzo]

Kyrgios wins in three.

Long match Murray looked ****ed by the end. Kyrgios as enigmatic as ever.

[Shaggy]

What a win for Murray, straight sets over Wawrinka.
