No Wimbledon Thread?

[Mark TKO]

I still think he might win this despite 0-2 down

[Gandalf]

Me too. He's getting more into it set by set. Still playing considerably below par though, maybe some niggle we don't know about it, but he's definitely not quite himself out there.

[Gandalf]

Ooh, not good. Murray just doesn't quite have it today. Something missing to his game. Come on Murray!

Close the thread.

Hopefully Murray can win a couple more Grand Slams before the likes of Dimitrov, Raonic, Krygios take over from the big 4. His talent deserves more.
These things happen at this level, see Nadal yesterday.

Nadal has looked off in the first set of every match strangely, but always picked it up. Strange last match too. I guess Nadal is never as comfortable on grass, but Murray has no excuses with grass. I think he's still recovering from the back. He doesn't quite have the same fire.

No he isn't quite the same since. Not permanent I hope.
The split with Lendl is a factor too IMO as Andy seems to have reverted to the defense first approach of years gone by pre-Lendl. It's also well reported that Andy did not want Lendl to go at all.

That's a shame. I'm not sure what the deal was. Sure, the opponent was solid, but Murray just seemed to be coasting through it all. He didn't try to be the boss and was always chasing. I expected better, but really Murray hasn't quite been the same since his back surgery.

By the way Memphis, well timed thread. FFS. You are the kiss of death to all things sporting.
