Andy Murray had his pants pulled down in his semi final at the French Open by the greatest clay court player ever today.
I am sure it is just a blip on his least favoured surface and when Andy Murray returns to Wimbledon to defend his crown in a few weeks he may be able to pay Nadal back.

Ist part is very very true.Second part will depend on whether the 2 players are drawn to play each other,but bear in mind. Nadal has been in more finals at Sw19 than Andy has.

Attachment DeletedSo the Glory Hunters new favourite gets his ass kicked by the greatest player of all time.Nadal,as I have said many many times is a phenomenon,the like of which we will never see again.Little sad to see the morons in the stand put Gluten Free off his stroke at the final point,but then again Djokovic showed a bit of bad sportsmanship earlier on in the set,when he knew a Nadal backhand was in,but unlike Nadal,never had the decency to scrub out the mark and get on with it. Instead he let the usless Pascal Maria pick out the wrong mark on the court.What goes around,as they say. LITTLE BUNNY? WHAT LITTLE BUNNY? Attachment Deleted

Nadal did well to come back from a set down and boy was he tired at the end too...9 french titles and probably would had been 10 in a row had he competed in 2009...
now only 3 slams from Federer, with Djoko way back on 8.
Good wins today in the 1st round for Evans and Ward at Queens.

Good wins today in the 1st round for Evans and Ward at Queens. Both players were tired at the end,and for your information, Rafa did play in 2009,he lost against Robin Soderling.That was the around the time he first started having problems with his knee and also the time that his parents announced that they were splitting.It was a bad time in Nadals life and hence he lost a bit of edge.He showed the following year how good Soderling was when he gave him a right royal whooping in the final.I am still awaiting a reply from the glory hunter,he was ultra quick to come on here and have a pop at Nadal a couple of weeks a go when he lost in Rome.He has been a tad quiet since yesterday though.Also I don't think that Gluten Free has won 8 Slam titles.I can only remember 6. |

I stand corrected about 2009 and quite rightly Djoko has won 6 not 8 slams, which of course makes Nadal even more of a favourite to equal and pass by some way the record of 17 by Federer. |

The end of the 1st week at SW19.No massive shocks in the mens Championships,with Nadal,Gluten Free,Swiss Big Cheese,and Murray all through.The womens draw has lost the top 2 seeds though,and is a lot more open.

Massive upset today, a player ranked outside the top 100 beating the world number 1 has not been done for 22 years.
Murray, Djoko, Dimitrov, Cilic, Stan and the Fed all through with 3-0 wins...Kyrgios could make the s/f too.
The tie of the round looks like the all Swiss affair.
3 Murray (GB) v Dimitrov (Bul) 11
5 Wawrinka (Sui) v Federer (Sui) 4
1 Djokovic (Ser) v Cilic (Cro) 26
8 Raonic (Can) v Kyrgios (Aus)

Shame to see Serena have to retire from the doubles today through illness.

Its only the second time I have seen him play,the first was in a Davis Cup match.His game is huge and he thoroughly deserved his win.I think Raonic will beat him,just based on the fact that I think he will outserve him.Best result of the year so far,simply because not one person gave him a hope.I also loved the fact that the annoying Shriekapova had her backside kicked,even though it was against a German that was disrespectful a few weeks ago during her match against Hantuchova. |

How many first serves did he miss? He seemed flat and not himself. am a little confused. Thank you very much. So he is useless, just because he didn't serve well today? Interesting. Do you know anything about the sport? Or do you just have a dislike for Murray? |
