Thoughts on Andy Murray’s Olympic gold medal
Alright, so Andy Murray won Olympic Gold, at Wimbledon, against Roger Federer, in straight sets. That's cool, good for him. I'm actually quite surprised that Federer played so poorly. I thought the match would have gone a bit longer, or even a bit more of a fight. I'm not saying that the match for the gold medal was a complete wash; to me, it just seemed that it was nothing … [Read more...]
Is Andy Murray cheating?
Another win today for Andy Murray, which lands him into the quarterfinals for a second time in his career (2009). He will face world #6 David Ferrer next; I really hope that Ferrer takes it to Andy, especially after his recent on court antics. It all started in his match against Jarkko Nieminen, Murray's back start to "spasm" during the match. Now, I totally understand back … [Read more...]
Novak Djokovic vs. Andy Murray, who will win?
In the second 2012 Australian Open semifinal, we find there is a rematch of the 2011 Aussie final between Andy Murry and Novack Djokovic. I'm 99% positive this match will be less interesting than the match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. It's still going to be interesting to watch this match, particularly to see how Djokovic handles himself while actually being … [Read more...]
What Happened To Djokovic?
I wasn't very surprised that world #1 Novak Djokovic retired from the Masters 1000 final in Cincinnati against an avenging Andy Murray. Novak's 2011 record is unreal, 57 matches won against 2 match losses (Federer and Murray), so his body had to give out at some point. Looking flat and deflated Djokovic tried to give the fans their moneys' worth but pulled out of the match … [Read more...]
The Grass Is Greener For Andy Murray
Andy Murray secured his second Queen's Club Title in his tennis career on Sunday with a close match over the hard hitting Frenchman, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Murray battled back from a set down to win the final. Although he didn't play his best, it looked like Murray is very much on the brink of playing his best tennis of his tennis career on the green grass of London. I remember … [Read more...]
Andy Murray – The Great Choke Artist of Tennis?
So a quick apology for the timing of this article, we know it’s been quite long since the final took place. Now that we have had time to digest the 2011 Australian Open Men’s Final, we would like to take the time to go over our disappointment with the tennis match. At first thought, we were certain that we would spend close to 5 hours of intense tennis between Novak … [Read more...]
Andy Murray Has A Third Chance At A Major
This this finally be the one that Andy Murray captures? Or will he, again, break under the pressures of a nation desiring a major tennis title for the last 75 years (Last male British tennis player to win a major? Fred Perry 1936). Now, looking at Murray's performance during the 2011 Aussie Open, it's obvious he is a serious contender to win this year. He's practically been … [Read more...]
A Look At The 2011 Australian Open – Mens
It is really hard to believe that the 2011 Australian Open is only a couple of weeks away now. It seems like just last month Roger Federer was celebrating his ass-kicking of Andy Murray and an almost picture perfect run down under. This year, the game has changed, well sorta, we still have the usual suspsects at the top and a few up and comers with the hunger to wipe out those … [Read more...]
