The Tennis Thread

Best I have seen him after his operation, far from his best, but don't forget tsitispas is ranked number 5

[Leithen]

He’s still got some shots in him. And he’s every bit as stubborn as fk, perhaps more so.

[RichB]

It's a cracking match!

[RichB]

Someone needs to show Tsitsipas how to tie his laces so they don't come undone!

[Blackpuddin]

They certainly don't need to show him how to hit the ball.

[abzmike]

Terrific effort from Murray… really nothing between them.

[Leithen]

Bloody hell.

You're not kidding. I had assumed Stef was going to easily keep the momentum in set 2 and 3 to win in straight sets. How wrong can one be?

[SydneyBridge]

Finally a break, Murray will play all night

[df76]

Solid tennis match. Shame it won’t finish tonight.

[Blackpuddin]

Murray has never served better than this.

[MrBarry123]

Oh st.

[SydneyBridge]

Get in.. Surely they will finish now, although Murray wants to play on

[abzmike]

Great time to finish for Murray - that slip looked painful.
Brilliant play in that set though.

Murray appears superhuman at times. Amazing will to succeed.

[EVOTECH3BELL]

Great match.

[Scabutz]

Man I was focusing on the cricket I didn't know he was playing, and not this late.

Look up "grit and determination " in the dictionary and it would be a picture of Murray.

I have 4 monitors and a TV in my home office. Cricket on one, tennis on the other, then CricInfo and BBC sport website for text updates when I need to mute for calls. Final screen for the occasional bit of work. Tomorrow is going to busy.

He’ll need a proper rub down.

I’m sure Mrs Murray can help in that regard….
