Andy Murray (Fit to play Queens)

[makaveli1875]

Andy Murray has declared himself fit to play ,drawn against Nick Kyrgios in 1st round . Good to see him finally back . Tough draw getting Kyrgios on his comeback

I have a bad feeling about this.

I have a bad feeling about this.

So do I.

Hope I’m wrong though

Norrie was talking quite positively about Murray's hitting and his movement during their practice sets.

There is obviously a big difference between hitting with Norrie and being in a match with Kyrgios but at least there was some positivity.

I don't feel that Murray has rushed his recovery though so hopefully he gets through this test - win or lose - in good shape.

Bookies have Kyrgios as strong favourite.

So he should be.

For Murray just being back out on the court again will be a victory in itself. Anything else will be a bonus for him at this stage in his recovery.

It will be good to have him back although I hope the media is realistic in their expectations ahead of Wimbledon.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls out at the last minute.

Well he's failed at that twice already...

[heretoday]

I suppose he has to come back some time and grass is his surface.
But I'm very protective of the guy.
As if he needs it!

[WeeRussell]

Yep.. can't see anything but a Kyrgios win but Murray might at least get an idea of where he is, particularly in terms of fitness, and his chances of getting back proper this season.

Interesting to see how it goes. I think if he can compete and complete the match, he's probably in a relatively decent place.. even if that means a defeat.

Murray wins the first set 6-2 . kyrgios is hitting 1st serves at 140mph and 2nd serves at 135mph

Kyrgios just comes across as a total bellend.

Yes but Murray seems to have a lot of time for him.

Tremendous talent when he is switched on. That just doesn't seem to be very often.

Good though. Not sure if he has the temperament for the grand slams.

When's Andy on?

When's Andy on?

Now!

3-1 Edmund in first set.

[heretoday]

Andy should play Wimbledon, I reckon. Even if he loses to some qualifier from Uzbekistan at least he's shown he's up for it.
It's not good when top players pick and choose. It denigrates the tournament.

[DaveF]

Murray withdraws from Wimbledon.

[heretoday]

I'm disappointed Andy is out.

I now switch my allegiance to Kyrgios.

Always a few fireworks when he's about.

[heretoday]

Andy's going to commentate for the rest of the week. Not sure this is a good idea. Not yet anyway.

[makaveli1875]

Murray wins on his hard court comeback in Washington against American Mckenzie MacDonald (what a name ) . He has Kyle Edmund next round . The real British number 1 should win if he's fit enough

[lord bunberry]

Go on Andy. Shows he’s still no1 despite what the ranking might say. Legend.

Stayed up to watch it . Interesting game . What struck me was Murray looked rusty and wasnt hitting his shots as well as he used to but his desire to win is still strong and he fired himself up for the final set . Murray was punching **** out of his legs if he didnt make it to the ball and smashing his head when he missed a shot , Edmund just doesnt have that combative nature , he doesnt look bothered when he loses .

[heretoday]

If I had the money I'd follow Andy to the ends of the earth.

Tennis tournaments tend to be in quite interesting places so it'd be great to do that.

[Ryan91]

Murray has announced that he'll be retiring this year, no mention of when though.

He'll always be one of the greatest sportsmen to come from these shores.

A shame that injuries have caught up with him, and a shame that he didn't win more Slams, but when you're up against 3 of the greatest players of all time in your sport, it's never going to be easy.

I wish him all the very best

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Sad to read about that, good luck Andy. 👍

[heretoday]

It's the end of an era. There certainly isn't another Brit around to match Andy. Edmund is good but not top drawer material I reckon.
I am really going to miss him.

[hibsbollah]

He's one set and a break down just now.
This could be the final curtain.

[hibby6270]

Andy wins 3rd set!! More than many thought likely. He’s still in this!!

[hibby6270]

Very interesting now.
