Yeah, looking forward to choosing our matches on Thursday when we just have ground pass tickets. Hopefully Jamie Murray is playing doubles that day and we can see him.

Caledonian Craig Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 A getting better sort of performance today from Andy as the second slam of the season got underway. Murray won in four sets against Kuznetsov. I have no expectations for RG and if Andy can navigate his way through to the Qf's I would take that. Anything beyond that would be a great surprise. However, it is one match at a time for Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Looking forward to getting there tomorrow. Delpo, Kyrgios and Edmund all on outside courts, so will navigate our way to see as much of these three as we can ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Murray wins in four sets against Klizan. A long match and Murray again was up and down level-wise. I can't see him being a contender here as he is carrying too many handicaps and Del Potro awaits in the next round as well. Each win he gets though will help in hopefully raising his levels back to where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that as soon as Murray starting playing somewhere near his usual level and consistency it is just too much for Del Potro. Great credit to the big Argentine player though as he has had a number of horrendous injuries that has totally taken away his back hand shots and he has had to re-invent himself. That is some feat in itself. For Andy that is the best I have seen him play this year. I still don't see him going much deeper but he's returning to form just in time for the grass court season.

Parklife Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I've had a wonderful 3 days at RG. Saw Khachanov beat Berdych, Edmund beat Olivo and Cepede beat Pavlyachenkova on Thursday. Muguruza, Rafa, Djokovic and Venus on Chatrier, before catching the start of Wozniacki on Friday. Then caught Edmund vs Anderson, conclusion of Wozniacki vs Bellis, the start of Nishikori vs Chung and saw Kyrgios in doubles for a bit before the rain came. Organisation at RG was a bit chaotic and ground passes are waaaay over sold IMO. Was brilliant none the less though. Will definitely be back next year!

Glad to hear you enjoyed RG, is a great experience but not quite as good as Wimbledon for me. Ive got tickets for queens and the ATP finals this year. The Paris masters is also on the radar. I'll do the queue at Wimbledon again. Are you booked up for any more events? I agree, watching nadal lately it's like He has wound the clock back ten years. Murray v Nadal in this final would be epic, especially if Murray continues where he left off against Del Potro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably nothing else this year. Got a lot on this year and going to NYC at the tail end of the year too, so funds/holidays are used up. Applied for Wimbledon but got hee haw. How long will you have to queue for? Will go back to RG next year and will probably try and go to Madrid, Rome or Barcelona too during the clay court season, just for something different.

Ended up with day pass and court two tickets. It was a great day out. We watched Kyrgios play Dustin Brown, Kyrgios had a little melt down. Saw Cilic, Dmitrov, Zverev and finally Leyton Hewitt in the oldies doubles. Thinking of camping overnight this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
