Thread: 2021 US Open

  1. #1

    2021 US Open

    Andy Murray just starting against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

    Not expecting too much here, if Murray wins a set he'll be doing well.

    Dan Evans has just beaten Thiago Monteiro in 4 sets.

    Murray is live on Amazon Prime for anyone who is interested.

    Great hold from 0-30 from Murray 5-5 in the second. Murray is getting a bit worked up at times, his body language isn’t great, I don’t know why because he’s playing well.

    United we stand here....

    He seemed to be complaining about his shoes all the time.

    Fluffed his chances in that tie break. He's playing fine but if his head goes then it'll be over quickly.

    He's got to get this business with the shoes out of his head and focus. Where are his spare shoes FFS??

    That’s the big danger, he’s been doing a lot of shouting at his team.

    Yeah needs to erase that from his mind.

    That set's gone now and he's got to draw on his experience and find a way to win.

    Brilliant from Murray. He's hitting that backhand so sweetly. Also I'll never tire of seeing the backhand topspin lob which he did in the 2nd set tie break - a thing of absolute class.

    Really hope he can keep this going.

    He is such a fighter. Also such a brave player. Whatever the outcome of the match Andys confidence that he can compete with the best will rocket.

    Looks like this is going to five sets.

    Tsitsipas 3-0 up fourth set.

  20. #19
    Murray gets one of the breaks back.

    Still 2-5 down.


  21. #21
    We're going the distance, Tsitsipas wins the fourth set 6-3.

  22. #22
    Tsitsipas breaks straightaway in the final set.

    Not looking good sadly and Murray's distracted by Tsitsipas taking so long to restart the match.

    I don’t watch as much tennis as I used to but I think the level of play is so much higher than even a few years ago.

    Murray allowing the situation with Tsitsipas to mess with his head.

  25. #25
    Chance for Murray to get it back to 2-2 but Tsitsipas holds.

    3-1.

  26. #26
    Tsitsipas wins 2-6 7-6 3-6 6-3 6-4.

    Great match, nearly 5 hours!

    Murray could have won that.

    Tsitsipas pulling out a Djokovic stunt

    Murray not a happy bunny!

    Fact of the day. It takes Stefanos Tsitipas twice as long to go the bathroom as it takes Jeff Bazos to fly into space. Interesting. 🚽 🚀

    Yep, that's what it reminded me of. Feigning injury at crucial points of the game.

    The 'toilet' break was ridiculous. Eight minutes?! The guy has previous for it, taking his whole kit bag into the toilets including his mobile phone. The suspicion is that he's texting his coach.

    Murray was entitled to be raging. If you read his full quotes it's not sour grapes either. There's no self pity there, just a rational (if heated) criticism of the way the way his opponent was bending the rules to the max.

    Emma Raducanu taking her good Wimbledon form into the US Open by winning in straight sets in the first round.

    Poor loss for Cameron Norrie yesterday losing in straight sets.
