I wonder why he keeps playing on? The way things are looking, even getting to the second week of a Slam next year would be a major achievement for him. And what’s the point of that? Because he still enjoys competitive tennis? Nobody questions footballers like Iniesta when they move onto Japan and play at a level far below their best. Or when top EPL players move onto bottom half teams when they enter their twilight years What's the difference here? Rangers_no1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the comparison with football doesn’t really work. If you play football you don’t get papped out the competition at the first or second round each week. You’re still involved in the league until the last day. Murray is now regularly/usually ‘going home’ before the tournament has truly got going. That’s the difference.

I mean I'm not sure finishing 17th in the EPL whilst getting pumped week in week out is much better? At least Murray has the chance to turn things round as every new tournament is a fresh start to go far. Things could click at any moment and he could challenge further in tournaments (I'm fairly sure this will happen). Whereas a former world class footballer plying his trade for a shite team is basically doomed for a season of pumping and never have a chance of competing for anything. And like I said, he would never be questioned in the same way Murray has been. left winger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Nosed Babe 20,560 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Are special rules or loopholes being found for Novak? He is getting to play in Australia despite sketchy info on vaccine status ( just tell us, cunt) while it was made clear that the unvaccinated would not be allowed to play. If he has a medical exemption, fine. What has he got to hide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
