Tyrant Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Murray is a class act on and off the court. I think this year is between Murray, Djokovic and Nadal at Wimbledon. Federer won't win another slam. I think Murray will get the better of Nadal on grass but Djokovic is a whole other kettle of fash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Looks like Murray has done okay in the draw, avoiding a quarter with Nadal or Federer. Djokovic has done the best out of it though, with Murray, Nadal and Federer all in the same half of the draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I watched the documentary on the BBC last night. Enjoyed it but there was little or nothing in it that I didn't already know. It was a shame that they had to "address" the whole anti-England banter because the English morons threw their arms up but never mind. Good watch.

Tyrant Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Btw the way.. Paddy Power are doing a special offer and are giving odds of 10-1 on Murray for new account holders to win Wimbledon. 10-1 is what his odds should probably actually be rather than 4-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrant Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Any player other than Djokovic should be really. Apart from maybe Rafa. The two of them win when they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think the current No.2 in the world, current US Open champion, Olympic gold medalist (at the venue this grand slam event is at) and last year's beaten finalist is a 10/1 shot? I'd say 4/1 is good value with all that conisdered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Made a bit of a meal of first set, but one up nonetheless Nadal in serious shit elsewhere, two sets down to the world number 135 and looks like he is limping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 So, possible thoughts on why Nadal is no longer at the top of his game? http://tennishasasteroidproblem.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/curious-case-of-rafael-nadal.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Bit of a bizarre day with all the withdrawals. Murray looked quite comfortable. Bet he was pleased about Tsonga though. Federer in a battle just now, surely not another big name to go out!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 papped out , things are falling into place quite nicely. Though I have to say, it was a shame Tsonga pulled out, he's always a good watch and quite a personality. Still, C'mon Murray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 What a mental day. Can't believe Nadal, Tsonga and Federer are all out. Murray just needs to keep his concentration. I think the tournament could benefit from Murray and Djokovic NOT getting pumped out anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrant Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think folk are getting a bit over-excited here. I don't think all that much has changed. I always expected Andy to get the better of Nadal or Federer this year anyway. If he keeps his cool and concentration he should reach the final maybe slightly fresher but these guys are no mugs. Robredo is no mug. The main hurdle is and always was Djokovic. Still predicting a Novak win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Totally unpredictable so far so anything could happen, but looking at the draw, a Murray v Djokovic final would mean Murray playing Robredo - Troicki - Verdasco or Monaco - Paire/Almagro/Stakhovsky. Whereas Djokovic would probably play Chardy - Lopez - Gasquet/Berdych - Ferrer/Del Potro. No doubt Djokovic's side of the draw is by far the tougher, although anyone could beat anyone. That Stakhovsky guy might really have a chance himself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Stakhovsky guy might really have a chance himself! I agree with you min but there are no names that should really trouble Djokovic. His side of the draw is now undoubtedly tougher but none of them are good enough to be a Djokovic who's truly at the top of his game and career. Roger and Rafa are/were not.
