Dr Gloom 22182 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 After England's world cup and during the proper bit once we've went out I find it quite hard to be bothered about some haggis munchers tennis career. That said he should have a decent chance of doing very well this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think Nadal's much more entertaining to watch (on grass and hardcourts anyway). Also, re: Murray, history suggests he needs to win one now as it's pretty rare for a first Grand Slam title to come older than he is now. I think in recent(-ish) years there haven't been many example. Rafter perhaps, off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even going back a bit further though which is why I said recent-ish. You're right though, because you've got Federer dominating and then Nadal dominating in Paris so it makes it hard for anymore. Twas ever thus though - Sampras before them two (not on clay, obviously), etc. I just remember reading it - if you don't win your first by the age he is now then the game looks to be up. Edit: Goran would be a notable exception like. Edited June 30, 2010 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6785 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'd like him to win it although Nadal and Federer will probably take him apart again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22006 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Are people still sulking about his out of context England comments then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Are people still sulking about his out of context England comments then? I'm not. I think they were tongue-in-cheek and even of they weren't, they're fair enough coming from a Sweaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 agree about his style. boring as fuck. he's the typically modern tennis player - a baseline container that bores his opponent into a mistake with endless defensive shots rather than getting on the front foot. bit like nadal really, must be a nightmare to play against.

Meenzer 15731 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Tsonga put Murray out in the first round of the Australian a few years back. It'd be just like a Plucky Brit™ to go out now when he's got his best chance of winning it to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a shock for Murray, mind, winning his first few matches comfortably with no media attention at all then suddenly having the nation's sporting hopes pinned on him. I bet he'd rather the England football team had actually done well for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be just like a Plucky Brit™ to go out now when he's got his best chance of winning it to date. Tsonga made the final that year though and he's probably regressed a bit since then. Still a very dangerous player on his day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
