Members bolty58 Posted July 6, 2016 Members Share Posted July 6, 2016 This will surprise some but I am not a Murray fan. Having said that, delighted he routed that horrible bastard. An embarrassment to tennis, Greece, Malaysia and Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 6, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2016 Malc, he played well first set. Lost it and gave up. Don't know if you've seen his interview since but he admitted his lack of interest. His efforts in the second and third sets we're pathetic. Even the Aussies hate him. Should take some of his prize money and refund those who turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Alf Hartigan Posted July 6, 2016 Site Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2016 Same pattern developing here, although I wouldn't accuse Tsonga of giving up. That first set was brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalcolmW Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 They did win the doubles later on in the day Not sure if it was the women's or mixed though The mixed has just been won today by Heather Watson and a Finnish guy. First time since 1969 that Britons have won 2 titles, but then Ann Jones was in both. First time since 1938 that two separate Britons have won titles.

MancWanderer Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Murray was awesome. Deserved it That said the wheelchair tennis was far better. I really didn't care who won. I just sat here fucking amazed at the sporting prowess and the effort that they put in, Somebody please take our shithouse players to watch one of these matches in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jturner Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It was a horrific Wimbledon for the Williams and Murray haters. I didn't watch any of it after Djokovic lost.The only consolation was Andy putting his foot in it during his victory speech when he invited the Centre Court crowd to jeer the Prime Minister which they duly did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, all 8 played the singles, so three wins were needed. That said, they are a good advertisement for the opportunities which now exist.

That said, they are a good advertisement for the opportunities which now exist. £25k for the winners, £12.5k runner up and £8k for each semis. So if only 4 pairs entered it was worthwhile just turning up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled Girl Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Laura Robson just got through qualifiers to the US Open main draw. Very good to see her getting her act together after the wrist surgery & using up her protected ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
