manc_don Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Always enjoy the break from football during the summer, some decent tennis being played at queens this afternoon! Simon has just taken Anderson to a third set. Looked like he was dead and buried after the first set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Anyone watching the Davis Cup Finals? Kyle Edmund is smashing it against Goffin at the moment. 6-3 / 4-1 so far, hopefully he can keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Surely Murray can be talked about as one of our greatest ever sports persons. Another brilliant achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Surely Murray can be talked about as one of our greatest ever sports persons. Another brilliant achievement. Aye. But that's been the case since 2012 when he won a slam. A knighthood is a cert. It's a matter of when and not if. To drag a team as shite as GB to winning the Davis Cup is something that the majority of people can't even understand how hard it was. Please for Jamie too. Dunblane won the Davis Cup.

manc_don Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well done Johanna Konta, came from a set down to win 4-6, 6-4 and 8-6. First British woman to reach the last eight since 1983! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's about as British as Aljaz Bedene but aye, good on her. Punching above her weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburghdon Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Lost the first set, hardly a disaster seeing as he's done that 3 times and still made the final of the Australian open... he still needs to get some momentum going quickly though.

RicoS321 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Aye, the Canadian looking very good. Not a case of bottling it from Murray, just the boy playing very well. Hopefully Murray can turn it round. Watching it on Eurosport like, and they're following on the BBC tradition of ruining the experience by fucking about with the viewing angle on the deuce serve. Showing the first few shots of the rally at net height from the back of the court behind the returner. Impossible to see anything. F'n irritating.

RicoS321 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Canadian goes off court for a Barry Robson, and returns a little bit worse. Murray breaks. Looking good for going the whole way.

Tyrant Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 All Andy. Raonic "injured" but I think he's just knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Agreed, sounds like Raonic is knackared rather than injured. Andy does well with 5 setters. His fitness levels are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 All Andy. Raonic "injured" but I think he's just knackered. Yep. Murray's a machine, this boy just isn't quite there yet. Double break in the last, should be over shortly. Another final for Murray, fuckin impressive. He's one hell of an athlete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoS321 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Finished him off nicely. Hopefully the wife will give me peace to watch the final on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
