2021 Tennis
Andy :rock:
Had the surgery and working to get back to the top. Great attitude as always. Quote:

Jo Konta has hit the skids since her run at Wimbledon. Emptied out of the Bus Open by the World no 123.
This thread is testament to the power of Andy Murray and the void that will be left in British tennis when he eventually retires. Having had the thrills and spills of following his progress typically deep into every Slam over the past 10-15 years, it is really difficult to get interested when he isn't playing. |
Chung a set and a break up against Djokovic
|
Two sets down.
Changing of the guard? |

Makes Federer and Nadal all the more amazing that they're still both the top two players in the world really.
Since Djokovic completed the career slam his will to win seems to have diminished a bit be interesting to see if both him and Murray can return to their best. |
Kyle Edmunds beats Dimitrov to reach the semis.
Amazing effort |
Amazing result.
Nadal or Cilic in the semis. |
Also :rock:

Edmund likely to face the same obstacles as Andy has had to, you can beat the rest, can you beat the best?
He will also likely have to take on Rafa and his myriad neurosis. |
Cilic a break up in the forth set looking to take it to 5 sets.
|
Nadal suffering with injury.
I reckon he is about to give up in the 5th. |
Shame really he had to quit.
|
Nadal quits.
Edmund v Cilic in the semis. |

I think Cilic will be tired from that Nadal match regardless of the W/O in the fifth set. He's beaten a massive server in Anderson, seasoned pro in Seppi and world NO 3 tour final winner in Dimitrov so he certainly has a chance.
Will be tough as fuck mind. |
Edmund not looking out of place...
But needs to level and win the second set here. |
Chung retires v Federer.
Men’s tennis has an issue with this now. Nadal retired. Edmund clearly not 100%. Chung retired. Half the top players unfit or not playing. Maybe men’s slams need to go to best of 3? If you think of Andy Murray’s first Wimbledon win that was straight sets and took nearly three hours. |
Less games on tour would come first I reckon.
Anyway, I reckon Federer will get 20, which is a helluva achievement. :respect: |
It is.
But he won Wimbledon against an injured Cilic and got to the Aus final with a walkover. If ever a guy didn’t require any additional help! They definitely need to look at the number of mandatory games. On the tour, and for the good of the sport reduce them. I hope Andy gets to have a Year when all the others are out injured..! |
Best of three for the first week of the slam is what the missus just said to be and that's not a bad shout actually. It's a stupidly long season - something needs done.
|
Yeah that’s not a bad shout :handshake:
2 weeks of best of 5 is incredibly harsh. |
Wozniaki battling hard for her first Slam.
|
She’s got the yips a bit here. Neither of them have won a slam before, looks like it’ll be who can fall over the line first at the moment
|
Back on serve after medical timeout. Yeah, going to come down to who wants it more and who can keep nerves out of it.
Cracking final though. Both giving absolutely everything. |
Help serving to stay in it.
Wozniaka can go for it a bit here. She's fitter and supports Liverpool, so I'm hoping the can get the win :haha: |
WOW.
What a point. Championship point Wozniaka. |
She's done it.
Great effort. From both. |
That umpire :jizz:
|
Roger Federer, 20 Grand Slam titles, what an achievement.:respect::respect:
|
Kyle Edmund the new British number 1 :haha:
|
When was the last time it wasn’t Andy Murray must be about 13-14 years?
|
2006 was when he first becomes British no 1. 12 years and only dropped off due to injury.
Nadal and Federer sort of stats really |
He will definitely take some replacing as a figurehead for British tennis. I hope he stays around for a good 4-5 years yet.
|
Andy Murray announces his comeback pre Wimbledon.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/43574607 Tennis has been dull without him. |
My eldest daughter played her first match in the adult league on Monday :clap:
Shes 12 :respect: |
:haha: |
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 |
