The Tennis Thread

Kyrgios the brat was apparently very very good today. Could be a tough game for Murray.

 

[Jolemai]

Quite a barb from the BBC:

England and Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier is on Centre Court to experience what it's like to reach a quarter-final

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Except this isn't the quarter final.

 

[Nando]

Murray taking Kyrgios to the cleaners here.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kyrgios is the ultimate #headsgone player.

 

[The Bear]

His problem is he thinks he's better than he actually is. Looks good against lesser players but gets shown up against the big guns.

 

[Nando]

This is phenomenal stuff from Murray. Unbelievable variation.

 

[darlowolf64]

Kyrgios looked good for the first game and a point of this set but now it's back to business as usual for Murray

 

[SLA]

Why the fuck is Inverdale talking over all the points?

 

[NoodleWolf]

If he stops trying to act like an extra from a 50 Cent video, Kyrgios could be a decent player. Forget the cringe-worthy image you are going for, man, just concentrate. Even after he's grown up a bit, I have my doubts he'll ever really make it. Too weak mentally despite his talent.

Why the fuck is Inverdale talking over all the points?

Cos he's a massive belmer and thinks its all about him?

 

[Carrotdude]

Kyrgios could be up there with the best if he had the application, all the natural talent in the world and he just can't be arsed. I suppose he's quite happy making a lot of money by getting through a few rounds of each tournament

Tsonga is 6-1 to beat Murray. Has to be worth a dabble as an insurance policy. He's no mug and if he's on his game it may be close.

Can't see it. He's not a patch on Andy in any part of the game.

You'd need a serious drop in form from Andy to get any returns on that. He's playing unreal tennis at the moment.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

6-1 are very handy odds in a two horse race but Tsonga rarely causes Murray serious problems.

I think that Murray will win and I hope that he does. The dabble was for insurance purposes. Murray wins and I'm happy enough, if he loses I'll pick up a few bob as compensation. I tend to place these bets if there is a bit of value in an event that I don't want to happen. A Conservative majority, Brexit, England losing a test to Pakistan last year are some recent payouts of compensation however I'm still wandering why a didn't back Iceland at about 3-1 to go through (not to win in ninety minutes) against England.

 

[Nando]

Monster hitting from Cilic so far.

 

[Sniffer]

Can Federer get back into the match? Two sets down.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The Raobot through.

Fed into a decider.

 

[Freddeno]

Can Federer get back into the match? Two sets down.

2-2 in sets now, 11-9 to federer in the tiebreak, cilic have had 3-4 match points..
