He just isn't capable of beating more than one of them and since he is going to have to face 2 he won't win. However I think he is struggling so can see him going out in the 3rd round. As an avid watcher of tennis ( I watched the whole Clay season & most of Queens) I don't think he's on as good form as he was last year. I'm not sure hiring Ivan Lendl was the best move. What he's obviously taught him to do is mirror the habits of the likes of Nadal and Novak to get into their mindset, but I i'm not sure that's working for him. He's needs to find his own mojo. However ALL tennis players have good and bad patches so he might Wimbledon might be the start of a good patch. *PS I'm not a Murray fan really but will also defend him when people say he's shit as he's not shit. He's just not as good as the amazing top 3. He'd more that capable of beating them - on grass particularly. *** Asleep on the radiator Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 25-06-2012 11:17 AM Quin. actively apathetic.

While they do indeed hit fast first serves they also get a lot of them back as well. Nadal particularly is fond of a long rally as he tries to force his opponents into errors while tiring them out at the same time. When the top players are on good form it's like watching a game of chess. Women's tennis boring though. Especially when they make those dreadful 'howling' sounds *** Asleep on the radiator Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 25-06-2012 19:12 PM skaramanga Tomorrowland 2013...its on!!

Grass is super quick though so a lot of serve and volley and the whole point of grass is quick play. I would love to see a Djokovic, Federer final this year, think that would be epic this year. Agree, I cannot stand the grunting for the women, so un-lady like and could almost be classed as a form of cheating as it would scare the life out of me hearing that every time they returned the ball Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 25-06-2012 19:36 PM All times are GMT.
