The Tennis Thread

But can we please hold back on the knighthoods for Sportsmen. At least until they have bloody retired.

 

[Johnny75]

Agreed. Not a lot of competition this year as Froome is slightly tarnished by the $#@! flying about at Sky. Can't see anyone else getting even close, frankly.

Mo Farah
Gareth Bale
Chris Froome
Max Whitlock (1st Double Gold medalist in Gymnastics for GB in an Olympics and World Champion)
Amy Tinkler,
Adam Peaty (owns the top 10 times in the world at his sports + WC + OC)
Jade Jones (consecutive gold medals)
Charlotte Dujardin (consecutive gold medals)
Nicola Adams (as above)
Laura Kenny (nee Trott)
Jason Kenny
Anthony Joshua
(and for a complete outside bet) Conner McGregor (UFC)

Although only Mo has a chance at beating Murray. The GB womens hockey team will win team of the year.

 

[Kenny]

The GB womens hockey team will win team of the year.

Probably do what they did 4 years ago and give it to Team GB as a whole, rather than 1 part of it.

You're probably right. I missed Alistair Brownlee off that list too

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They will give team of the year to Leicester City.

 

[Kenny]

Forgot all about them!

 

[Jolemai]

Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares also finish the season as the world number one doubles team.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Connor mcgregor is Irish so surely he can't win it anyway?

 

[Tony Towner]

Hamilton wins the title on Sunday he comes into play. Petrol heads always come out for this. Tennis isn't really my thing, but I can appreciate what Murray has done and would be a worthy winner. I'd like to see Max Whitlock win it personally, again not something I'm into, but a Brit to do what he has is phenomenal.

Two time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has reportedly been injured in knife attack at her home.

Congratulations to Johanna Konta who has beaten Agnieszka Radwanska to win Sydney International.

Consolidates her top ten position in the rankings nicely. Unfortunately she has loads of Australian Open points to defend and an absolute bitch of a draw.

Congratulations to Dan Evans for reaching his First ATP final after beating Andrey Kuznetsov.

 

[Sniffer]

Congratulations to Dan Evans for knocking out the Number 7 seed Marin Cilic at the Australian Open.

3-6 7-5 6-3 6-3

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That was a tremendous performance. Brits doing pretty well so far - 5 still in the tournament.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I see Kyrgios tanked again, such a wasteman.

 

[lemonjelly]

Impressive stuff from Dan Evans there.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Konta through comfortably. Edmund and Watson lose (Watson really shouldn't have done - had about a million match points)

Djokovic in trouble and being taken to a fifth set.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Djokovic is now a break down in the final set.

Djokovic OUT
