Caledonian Craig Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Ward may not even reach the 4th Round as Pospisil has pulled it level at two sets all. Ward must find another gear now or he'll lose this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnbruman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 As good as Djokovic and Murray are, its still fantastic watching Federer play some sublime tennis. Big Rog best player ever in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 As good as Djokovic and Murray are, its still fantastic watching Federer play some sublime tennis. Big Rog best player ever in my book. Best ever....definitely but always comes across as arrogance personified. For that reason I enjoy seeing him getting beaten. Sorry but that's how I see it.

irnbruman Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Dunno ..he seems to be quite dignified and gracious in defeat whenever Ive heard him. Yes he did the embroidery bit on the tracksuit but I don't hear any other players say a bad word about him. In fact all of the top drawer tennis players seem to be all round decent blokes. Djokovic bobbed in to BBC today and did a fantastic interview with Sue Barker. Mind you I wouldn't mind interacting with Sue either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmondo Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Yeah, I find most tennis players particularly the ones at the top very humble and honest. Unlike footballers they are pretty honest after a match and tell it how it is. If they've played well then they'll say it.......hence why Federer maybe comes acrossa arrogant as for 10 years he's consistently played well.

Djokovic bobbed in to BBC today and did a fantastic interview with Sue Barker. Mind you I wouldn't mind interacting with Sue either. I could earmark parts like when Djokovic hit a return winner when match point down against him in the US Open and he recovered to win the match. Federer called it 'a lucky shot'. There were the Wimbledon tears (okay Andy cried as well when losing) but Federer already had around five of those titles in the bag. There was his fall-out with Wawrinka and the embroidered kit. Plenty of other incidents. He is fine when he has won but when losing watch for the quivering petted lip and digs at the victor or such-like.

Caledonian Craig Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Very good from Murray so far. He leads 6-2 2-0 and he has went up a gear from the first two rounds. Novak's coach Becker spying in the royal box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Still think he will win comfortably in four. Currently leads 6-2 6-2 1-5. The match turned when Seppi had the trainer on. After the break Seppi broke serve and it has been pretty poor since then from Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstevie007 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Everyone now thinks they can unsettle Murray with a bit of gamesmanship (from memory Djokovic has done it twice I think) and Seppi's done the same. Hope Murray humiliates the cheating dick in the fourth set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Murray won in four but that match shows why Andy has only won two slams in his career. He can have these dips/lapses in concentration. Against the likes of Seppi you can get away with it but against the very best players they won't let you back into the match. Still if he can avoid similar dips in those bigger matches he still has a great chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Murray humiliates the cheating dick in the fourth set. Its the Italian way when it comes to sport, they use every trick in the book to bend the rules, there football team is a prime example of this. Anyway Murray stepped up a gear in the fourth and thats job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) novak djokivic is the main reason murray hasnt won more grand slams Yes that plays a part but mental lapses don't help either. He has had them lots of times in key matches that have cost him wins. Australian Open Final this year springs to mind for a start, brain freeze in 2012 final when he led Roger in the final then the roof closed and he fell apart and then we had a semi at Wimbledon a few years back when he was leading Nadal and missed a sitter and he capitulated. Probably lots more as well. Talent-wise he is right up there but mentally he isn't in the same league as Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
