Great to see andy murray getting through in the tennis, know some people dont like him and some on here, but a great semi-final awaits with nadal surely. I will be backing him for one, and i know nadal is a favourite for everyone but would be nice for murray to upset the form book.
Bit disappointed when i heard federer making excuses for losing. He complained about his back, then his leg but he still gave “respect” for his opponent, who still “played well” he said! I have had enough of federer’s excuses and his lack of grace when he loses, very sad from a great champion but ive noticed he does it every time he loses. You never get nadal doing that.
The fitness on these guys (and gals) is simply amazing! How many of you have ever tried playing even 3 sets, leave along the 5 sets these guys play. Then add on the heat on court, the standard of play, the ferocious serves you can hardly see around your ears, the pressure at this level, and the unbelievable standard, simple as that it is terrifying!!!
I give all the players who even reach wimbledon the utmost respect, and they have to PLAY all year too, its literally a 11 month season, and then they have to spend the last month preparing for the start of the new one in australia!!!
Whoever you want to win, hope you enjoy the last few days, and this is when it gets REALLY exciting!!
Dont think its LACK OF GRACE Ke, I think he was just GUTTED, genuinly. Fed is not my favorite player, but only because I find his game BORING AND PREDICTABLE, Pete Sampras was also boring, but I do have a great respect for them., they are great AMBASSADORS for the sport MURRAY will be out on Friday, TSONGA let the second set slip by letting a ball go, thinking it was going out, giving Murray the second set and then he lost heart, giving Murray the match, NADAL wont lose heart. FYI Ke, they dont have ot play ELEVEN MONTHS OF THE YEAR, Federer and some of the other top player choose the tournaments they play with the Grand Slams, They are dogged by injury if they play 11 months of the year, so now they plan their year and the tournaments they play. I am still being good.
your analysis of tennis is always very good jean, punishing sport for these guys though and glad you’re still training and know how quickly you will improve
