Moody Blue 9,346 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Sadly Shapavalov is too young, fit and strong for Murray - a step too far, flashes of genius not enough against guys at this level in the slams. MacBoyd 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveEarle 9,726 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Big decision to make for Andy now. He's a legend but looks like his title winning days are long over. How much more does he want to put his body through chasing ghosts. He has an amazing fighting spirit but you also need to know when it's over sadly.

Sadly he isn't the best at doubles I still think he will continue, he has hardly played in the run up to this event and still managed a couple of wins.....he does need to decide whether to stick or twist from here on in TEFTONG and SteveEarle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he would be a great doubles player once he realizes the singles game is over. TEFTONG and hammer93 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 60,070 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I think we all knew that this game was beyond the Andy Murray who has suffered so much in the last few years. Bowing out a multi millionaire and being able to walk without pain should be the obvious decision for him to make.

TheKingObv 10,639 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It's weird, like a year back Murray was beating some top players and won a tournament. Don't get why he has regressed so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just pulling you’re chain mate. Big tennis fan and played the game for years. It’s a tougher game than many think. Never played on grass though over here in Canada. Clay and hard court. It’s a superb game. don logan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBoyd 5,435 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Seems to be considering retirement. No point putting in the work while not able to play enough to compete at a high level. He's probably right. TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 18 year old British teenager Emma Raducanu into week 2 after entering as a wildcard. She was fucking excellent today as well, properly talented player. If she goes out in the next round she’ll move up from 333 to 175 and become British Number 3. She only made her WTA main tour debut last month! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
