maybe i m bad or very bad as i say that but i would like Richard and Andy to go to 5 sets so we can watch nice tennis!and enjoy!
You're not very bad Sveta - you're just like the tennis loving rest of us.
Following Sveta’s tweets was almost as good as following the match itself – I had hoped to dedicate an entire post to them, but have settled for a happier compromise.
Biceps, bathroom-breaks and five set comebacks that make your ears bleed. If it feels like we’ve been here before it’s because we have.
Except we needn’t have. For two and a half sets The ‘Talanted’ Mr Reeshie could do no wrong.
Backhand of Richard is just stuning pfffff
…
i think Richard has much more confidence as he won last week!you can see that!And Andy didnt play many matches,this guys are so talanted
Reeshie was up a break and two sets before his talant quite painfully hit the wall. Things were less stuning after that.
I have some sympathy with Reeshie’s request for a Tuesday start – I have little time for those crowing loudly about Murrays improved fitness.
Lets be honest: neither of these gents are famed for their prowess over five sets.
I generally take the view that Murray has at most two five setters in him over the course of a Slam before, he too, hits the wall.
Whilst he did well to keep his cool and outlast Reeshie this time, I suspect that has as much to do with Reeshie’s 10 match clay court streak coming into this – his shotmaking in sets one and two was so inspired it actually elicited a smile from Murray: Martian rock has been known to yield water sooner.
With Sveta on his tactics and exection however, which aside from that unsavoury first serve percentage (43%) was right on the money, in a completely unspectacular way.
i m not agree!i thin Andys game is smart,maybe on tv looks like he has no game plan,but he feels the court very well he all the time change
…
pace of the ball and makes other player very uncomfortable!he doesent overpower them but plays smart!
I dunno about you all, but I’m sick to death of hearing of players’ aversion to their chosen sport - something that's now been elevated, almost, to an artform.
ufff what a match...I think Andy sees that Richard is tired and moves him more....then longer match goes then less chances for Richard
…
guys i m not terrible just want to watch nice tennis! many players strugle now and we dont see many good matches! Amelie is doing the match
How refreshing to find a tennis player that actually enjoys watching "nice tennis".
I’m 'stuned'.
