    Don't watch much tennis these days but stuck this on while waiting for the Sellick.

    Murray walking like he's shat his pants. Is he struggling with his hip or what? If so he's not human, how is it even possible to play a game like tennis for hours at a time with a metal hip? Guy is * unreal.

    His match finished at 4am the other night so he hasn't had much time to recover, plus both of his previous matches were intense 5 setters. Oh and his last match was the longest match of his career. And aye, all with a metal hip. That he won a set in this match is impressive.

    Crazy stuff man. This could be another 5 setter here as he looks like he does not want to give up. Cannot understand how he does this ffs.

    He's just lost. Physical condition got the better of him.

    Great fight and some exceptional quality tennis from Andy.
    Just didn't have legs after those two marathon matches.

    I'll take consolation in the fact that Andy had a 100% record against him pre-injury, and that Andy beat him in the biggest match of his career (Shanghai Masters Final). :giggle1:

    Not really arsed who wins the tournament now. Djokovic is struggling with his hamstring so there's an opportunity for another player there now.

    Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, Jannik Sinner are the three to watch imo.

    Djokovic cruising here against Tsitsipas. Really thought with the way Tsitsipas was playing, he'd trouble Djokovic a bit more.

    Djokovic equals Nadal's record of 22 slams. His 10th Australian Open title too.

    Done out of the chance of going ahead in Grand Slams last year due to ridiculous Covid rules, but returns this year to equal the record. I think he will go ahead of Nadal when all is said and done as well.

    Definitely the favourite to do so. If Nadal is fit and healthy, he'll be the favourite at the French Open. Djokovic will be second favourite, or favourite if there's an issue with Nadal. Can't see anyone stopping him at Wimbledon because the rest of the tour are * on grass. US is dependent on their entry requirements regarding vaccines.

    Would be awesome entertainment if Nadal wins RG, Djokovic wins Wimbledon, then we get the two of them in a final at the US Open. 23 each, going for 24.

    Alcaraz, Rune et al might have something to say about that though.
