| 21. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 11:39 You can have strength-in-depth without every player being a potential Grand Slam winner. It`s always amusing seeing fans passing judgement on players who, as evidenced by their record of achievement over a long period of time, have a completely different mindset from the average punter. No one will know better than Andy Murray what is a realistic target in his last few years competing at the top level. I feel for Emma Raducanu who will soon take over the mantle of expectation the British media and fans love to put on promising sports people. Andy Murray had the resilience and character to deal with it; I hope she does too. Reply |

| 23. Author: parathletic Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 11:45 Murray quoted as saying he won`t be back to Australian Open next year if he has many more performances like that-I could see this being his last year sadly. Reply |
| 24. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 14:09 I didn`t see that but I saw a quote that he felt OK physically before today`s match so it doesn`t seem defeat can be put down to tiredness. Reply |
| 25. Author: P Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 15:12 parathletic, Thu 20 Jan 11:45 Yeah sadly said this morning that I suspect this may be his last season, been great to watch him though and he’s earned his retirement should he make that decision Reply |
| 26. Author: Buspasspar Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 18:04 The body has to give sometime and several 3+ hours court battles must take its toll over the years .. Its not like a team game where you can maybe hide for a wee bit to try and recover .. Should he decide to retire I wish him all the best and thank him for providing us with great pride while watching him We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 27. Author: DA-go Par Adonis Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 18:06 The fact that Federer, Nadal and Djokovic have 60 grand slams between them isn`t a damning indictment of any batch of `new` players. It is because they`re the 3 best players of all time, they`ve all been on the scene at roughly the same time and, until recently, have managed to keep free from injury for their entire careers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I love it when we go sell Kevin Nisbet, He's gonna pay for everyone this season.

| 28. Author: P Date: Thu 20th Jan 2022. 19:03 DA-go Par Adonis, Thu 20 Jan 18:06 Dunno, Djokovic must be riddled with injuries since he has always gone down with one when he is losing or in trouble in a match 🤔 Reply |
| 29. Author: wee eck Date: Thu 19th Jan 2023. 17:41 I thought I`d resurrect this thread from a year ago after Andy`s two unbelievable wins in this year`s Australian Open. It`s absolute madness that players are asked to play until 4 am and the winner is expected to play again in less than 48 hours. Goodness knows what condition Andy will be in on Saturday. Reply |
| 30. Author: wetherby Date: Thu 19th Jan 2023. 18:45 An incredible performance especially given his exertions on Tuesday and to come back from two sets down speaks so much about his mental strength. He well have the greatest "will to win " , guts and determination of any sporstman. Reply |
| 31. Author: Buspasspar Date: Thu 19th Jan 2023. 19:23 Just said to Mrs buspass how many athletes could perform for 5 hours and 45 minutes .. a superb effort and great mental strength .. We are forever shaped by the Children we once were Reply |
| 32. Author: da_no_1 Date: Thu 19th Jan 2023. 20:01 Absolute machine. Well done Sir Andy 👏👏 "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 33. Author: desparado Date: Thu 19th Jan 2023. 23:07 Just watched his game on you tube. Incredible comeback. Some of his returns in one particular game were almost unbelievable. Crazy he is playing again so soon after that marathon. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 34. Author: PARrot Date: Sat 21st Jan 2023. 10:36 desparado, Thu 19 Jan 23:07 And yet we think 2 games a week of football is too much.  Reply |
| 35. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sat 21st Jan 2023. 12:03 Another phenomenal effort this morning but Andy bows out. Fantastic achievement to even get this far at 35 after the operations he`s had 👏👏👏 "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 36. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 21st Jan 2023. 13:03 In a way he was the victim of his own reputation. The organisers obviously want to feature a big name in the last match of the day but, if it`s a long one, the winner is inevitably scheduled for a late start in the next round to help his recovery. When they`re finishing at 4 am though it must mess with sleep patterns and the biological clock. Reply |
| 37. Author: wee eck Date: Fri 24th Feb 2023. 17:43 Now he`s in the final of the Qatar Open. As usual Andy did it the hard way, winning the first set 6-0, losing the second then winning the third set on a tie break after saving five match points. Reply |
| 38. Author: parathletic Date: Thu 6th Jul 2023. 21:56 Regardless of the outcome here its good to see him playing and moving this well. Reply |
| 39. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Thu 6th Jul 2023. 22:08 A break up in the third against Tsitsipas. One set all. Going to be a long night  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |
| 40. Author: parathletic Date: Thu 6th Jul 2023. 22:14 I think they can only play until 11 tonight? Reply |
