2021 Tennis

Well, that’s true and Otte was a qualifier who has barely won on the tour. That said, and sill caveat this with no way is Murray winning this, he has had no time on court and is beating guys who have played a lot. Previous round was the 24 seed.

I think the journey now is just enjoying the remaining moments, the flashes of genius that still occur. I though elements of his rhythm and timing were returning towards the end, a couple of the lobs he played were fantastic.

I hope he can go longer into Wimbledon and more importantly avoid injury. If he can get into next week and still play without injury that does bode well for the future. He’s played 9 sets in 3 days on a metal hip! Testament to the power of medical science and the wonder of the hip replacement!!!

It’s not just because he’s Scottish, but tennis is so much more bearable with him in it. The only other guy that is an actual personality is Kygrios. I love the way Andy orchestrates the crowd to get himself fired up. It’s a huge advantage.

I found it difficult to enjoy tbh. It was great seeing him pumped and coming from behind, but that Otte guy is a no-hoper and I found it hard watching Murray make such hard work of him. He's absolutely miles off what he was.

So funny when he kept shouting 'BELTER!' at himself

Its great to see him back competing. Doing all right given a lack of time on court over the last... 4 years.

I live that he dissent give a **** if people think he should be playing any more. He is playing because he loves the game and can still enjoy occasions such as tonight.

Those injuries have cost him titles though.

Wow, epic stuff from Murray. Rolling back the years. It's sad his body has failed him over the last 4 years.

Somehow from 5-0 up in the third set Murray is now 5-6 down.

Andy Murray 2 sets and a break up in the first round vs 24th seed, Basilashvili.

A bit rusty from Andy but will be a huge win if he can see it over the line.

This is an incredible match between Djokovic and Nadal.

I'm trying to attract as much positive karma as I possibly can!

That's magic mate

I managed to organise this for my aunt who is 83 and was diagnosed with Termjnal cancer last April.

She played tennis at club level to that point and used to have to keep quiet about her age as she thought they would go easy on her when they knew she was 80! She is and has always been an inspiration in my lifetime, so it was great to do something that made her so happy.

She walks three - four miles a day and we see her pass my house and have put messages up for her in the window. I am confident she he is going to live long past her initial diagnosis.

By all accounts she was in tears of joy upon seeing this

All organised by the Hibs Community team my son plays for, which as a Hearts supporter leaves me feeling quite compromised. (I’d hoped they’d supply video so I had to quickly put something together when supplied with an audio file).
