manc_don Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Murray currently one set down to Raonic, but has done much better in the second. Hopefully got himself wound up sufficiently to go on and win this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Nadal seems to be well and truly back. Some phenomenally powerful shots he's pulling off against Khachanov right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is gutting because all those pompous twats sitting at Wimbledon cheering for him grinds my gears no end. Brown nosed cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket_scientist Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Really can't stand Djokovic, but mainly because he's Murray's nemesis. Really can't understand how anyone can hate on Djokavic. The man is a class act. As a man, let alone his vastly superior tennis record. Oh I see, you're blinded by your love of the Scotsman? Is that patriotism? Rather than normally-functioning mental health? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you've said in another thread you don't watch tennis which explains the above post. There are plenty of examples of Djokovic's lack of class.

manc_don Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Johanna Konta has some steel about her, cracking match yesterday. She hits the ball with some power! I'd be quite happy to see a Djoko - Murray final, generally tend to be epic affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I don't wish Johanna any ill but I'm struggling to raise two fucks to give about her Wimbledon campaign. I'd have been more likely to support her if she stayed Aussie or Hungarian rather then turned English for the pennies. Unlike Australia the UK has a small pond of athletes to pick from for funding. "Jo" wasn't considered good enough (or to have had enough potential) when she was Aussie so they cut her funding. Hence her move to the UK. Nothing wrong with any of that.. I just don't get the fawning over her because she now plays under a Union Jack. The outcry when the boy Bedene was denied the chance to take part in the Tennis World Cup (Formerly Davis Cup) for GB was absolutely ridiculous. I'd rather have a drug-addled Dan Evans representing "my country" than some Slovakian dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Indeed. However she is playing one of the Williams brothers... Aye but she's 37 and facing prison for causing death by dangerous driving. That's got to be playing on her mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Final was a massive let down yesterday. Shame really. I like Cilic but he doesn't have enough about him to be able to beat Federer in a Wimbledon final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was particularly poignant for me and extremely good timing as it happened because on Saturday I sent one of my clients a 7 page document on this precise subject, the power of belief. Federer said "If you believe that you can go really really far in your life and I think I did that and I'm happy, I kept on believing and dreaming and here I am today with the eighth, it's fantastic".

Tyrant Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Federer is undoubtedly a class act. Always has been and always will be. In fact all the top guys are. In victory and in defeat they're respectful and conduct themselves in the spirit of the game. Unlike Tommy Rebredo : He was of course only joking. This was as a result of Andy saving 5 match points and then beating him in the final of a tournament last year (I think it was) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
