Saintandy666 Posted 29 June, 2012 Posted 29 June, 2012 Christ. And you like to this you are an intelligent chap That makes absolutely no sense as a sentence.
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Murray on court against Baghdatis. Will be a tough match. Baghdatis is a former semi finalist at Wimbledon and finalist at the Australian Open. Murray should be able to come through though.
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Yep - one set up! Baghdatis wont roll over though! I feel that Murray has another gear to move up into if necessary.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 This could go on til midnight, with the roof taking 30 mins to close etc
trousers Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Why did they opt for a roof that takes 30 minutes to close?
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Murray should have won that set with all the break points he had. And it's for light.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Why did they opt for a roof that takes 30 minutes to close? They want to finish the match tonigjt, as there is no play tomorrow, so if it rolls over it would be Monday when it would resume
JackFrost Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Hope the miserable jock loses. If he does the tournament will get off scot free
dune Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 If he does the tournament will get off scot free This thread is gonna get nessy now me thinks.
trousers Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 They want to finish the match tonigjt, as there is no play tomorrow, so if it rolls over it would be Monday when it would resume Sorry - I phrased my question poorly - I was talking in general rather than about this match. In other words, why did they build a roof that is designed to halt play for 30 minutes. Wasn't there a better type of roof available that closes quicker? (that said, I've just been told it's not the speed that the roof closes its the time it takes for the air inside the arena to adjust to the new conditions.) All seems like a big faff to me. And, given there was a good chance that rhe game was going to run into dusk, wouldn't it have made more sense to close the roof before the match started...?
dune Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 I still remember Murrays 'anyone but England' quote in respect of the last world cup, and his later grovelling backtracking once he realised he'd lose merchandise revenue.
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 I still remember Murrays 'anyone but England' quote in respect of the last world cup, and his later grovelling backtracking once he realised he'd lose merchandise revenue. It was a joke. Get over it.

Probably better than the alternatives I assume. I don't think the roof closing takes long at all, it's the readjusting the conditions.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Dammit. In the time that its taken for play to resume, the Mrs has put on a film : Lovely Bones. That's the tennis over for the night then!!
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 No it wasn't. No, it really was just banter between him and the reporter.
Thedelldays Posted 30 June, 2012 Author Posted 30 June, 2012 "health and safety" will put an end to this around 2300....rather than let the game finish good old health and safety
dune Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 No, it really was just banter between him and the reporter. Most Scots support anyone but England, just like Murray. I'd have had some respect for him if he'd supported his original belief, instead of backtracking once he realised that English fans form the bulk of his merchandise sales. For that reason I really hope he loses.
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 "health and safety" will put an end to this around 2300....rather than let the game finish good old health and safety What a load of rubbish. Sounds like they are trying to get a special extension though.

I'd have had some respect for him if he'd supported his original belief, instead of backtracking once he realised that English fans form the bulk of his merchandise sales. I really don't think he has that much 'merchandising' sales. And people who do play tennis and want a racket won't buy one just because it is Murray's.
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 It's the knee ... Apparently He is a very injury prone player, one of his weaknesses. Some people are just prone.
dune Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 he is going out at this rate Fingers, arms, legs etc all crossed.
bridge too far Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 He is a very injury prone player, one of his weaknesses. Some people are just prone. One of the commentators was saying he has fewer ankle ligaments than normal because of a very bad sprain when he was a boy and that he was born with a patella in two sections rather than one like most people. These two conditions make him prone to injury apparently.

Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 2/15 break points converted by Murray. His own fault if he loses.
Thedelldays Posted 30 June, 2012 Author Posted 30 June, 2012 2/15 break points converted by Murray. His own fault if he loses. as always.

These two conditions make him prone to injury apparently. And pretty much a miracle that he is number 4 in the world. Well played that man, I say
Thedelldays Posted 30 June, 2012 Author Posted 30 June, 2012 And pretty much a miracle that he is number 4 in the world. Well played that man, I say when that was mentioned. John McEnroe piped up that he had two hernia operations and then won various slam titles. you can tell he does not buy into the "poor injury prone andy" line that is started to be thrown out there
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 when that was mentioned. John McEnroe piped up that he had two hernia operations and then won various slam titles. you can tell he does not buy into the "poor injury prone andy" line that is started to be thrown out there Different era and not the same. You can recover from a hernia operation.
Thedelldays Posted 30 June, 2012 Author Posted 30 June, 2012 Different era and not the same. You can recover from a hernia operation. yeah, the medical/recovery techniques were nothing back then....amazing, eh
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 yeah, the medical/recovery techniques were nothing back then....amazing, eh Yep, but not the same still.
dune Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 he is in the zone now...at last Not so much him doing well, as his oponent going to pieces.
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 he is in the zone now...at last He's such a slow starter. It's why he always gets beaten by the top 3 at slams. He can get away with it against everyone else.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 Wow: John McEnroe BBC Sport "Four years ago at the Australian Open, Baghdatis played the great Lleyton Hewitt. They started the match at 10.49pm, they finished at 4.34am. Now do you think they could go past 11pm here?"
Saintandy666 Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 2-1. Whatever you think about him, he fights for it.
SO16_Saint Posted 30 June, 2012 Posted 30 June, 2012 And there's set no. 2 2-1. Whatever you think about him, he fights for it. To who?? Watching a shyte film here....!!
Thedelldays Posted 30 June, 2012 Author Posted 30 June, 2012 to Murray...did very well and is well on top now.
