Yeah, didn't see the game or follow it, but this must have been a crazy effort.

I had a nightmare during the game, the in laws decided to visit, they said Murray broke down after the game.

Yep. What a moment.

From perhaps thinking we’d never see hi on court again to this.

Recalibrate expectations.

That is beautiful.

[Liverpool]

remember the retirement montage they showed at his last grand slam and all the farewell speeches by other pros

[Buzzo]

He will be a real wildcard in the draw 12 months after having been retired by the Aus Open.

****. Is it only on ****ing Amazon Prime?

****. Is it only on ****ing Amazon Prime?

I’m afraid so.

[Buzzo]

Watched it.

I think I wept at least 5 times

He is an inspiration. And honestly, they include some audio where he explains what tennis means to him which is among the most enlightening and heart breaking things I have ever listened to.

It is also not for the faint hearted. You get to see bits of Andy Murray you would never imagine you could see (graphic surgery).

Consider that he was World Number 1 when this injury took him down. Wimbledon Champion. As he went down he was even managing to beat highly ranked players on one leg. Injury has easily cost him at least one other Slam. He has been out for 2 entire years.

If he can get another shot at a Slam or 2 it will be the most amazing thing ever. EVER.

I certainly wouldn't bet against him.

Gonna have to borrow my gf's Prime log in and get this ****er watched.

[Buzzo]

Do it man

He is the ultimate underdog. Everything about him appeals to me.

It's the same in football (or any sport I follow a team I suppose). It needs to mean something more. It wouldn't mean as much if it felt easy.

I'd give anything to see Andy Murray have one more shot in a final of a slam. Coming back from being retired by the tour would be the most Andy Murray thing ever.

(and congrats on having a new missus btw )

[Shaggy]

I love him nearly as much as you do.

And thanks, early days, but y'know.

[Liverpool]

Gonna have to borrow my gf's Prime log in and get this ****er watched.

Get a months free trial for amazon prime, so get the Everton/Leicester game in December and any last minute gifts next day for nowt.
