The fact that Nadal has lost Miami finals to Djokovic, who can consistently outlast him, and Davydenko, who was his bogey player, hardly means the conditions aren't more suited to him than to an old Federer. It's a notoriously slow court with a high bounce. Until this year, that was Federer's worst nightmare against Nadal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Persson 541 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Fed tops all right. What I found exciting was the tennis Kyrgios and Zverev served up. Future is bright. The amount of stuff that Kyrgios had on the ball the other night. It was only Roger the Goat who could handle that. If Nick could stop morphing into TLB. Those 2 youngsters are capable of out of this world tennis. Bar Injury, Rafa must still be winning his favourite Slam next though. Talking of Fed's serve. The best second serve ever,maybe with Sampras. The point I would make is that if Andy had even a good second serve, he may have had more Slams. His second serve is below, not only the company he has played in, but the other parts of his game. Strange really. Bottle and technique possibly.

JamieD 18,732 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Anyone else have a feeling about Kyrgios at Wimbledon? He handled a shite crowd pretty well the other day and this kind of serving should be devastating on grass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Persson 541 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 A Slam would be a mental hurdle for him. Hopefully he can improve that side of his game. I think his frustration stems from the fact that he knows he can beat any of them on his day, playing to his full potential. The long sets and 2 weeks of a Slam might test him too much as yet. I would love to see him in a final at least. He is more enjoyable to watch than many of his peers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

don logan 8,023 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Andy Murray frustrates more than he delights. Great ability but lacks the required mental strength to be an all time legend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRodgA2k8 542 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well he's competing in an additional tournament as he gets himself back to full fitness so that's got to be a positive. I will say one thing, Rafa has looked really good so far in this tournament. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
