His miserable persona on court was offputting. Never looked like he enjoyed playing. Think the majority of players would be happy with two Olympic gold medals, two Wimbledon titles and an American open not to mention being number one and all his single wins. Plus being a multi millionaire. Guy done well. Could have done better but lack of effort and dedication can’t be denied. your right though he was a miserable sod.

AlimOzturk Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The lack of talent and chara coming through in tennis at the moment is bad. The fact Roger Federer is still number 4 in the world rankings shows this. Djokovic and Rafa are still dominating as well. The old guard shown no sign of wavering.

Not denying he had a great record but to be the best you need to beat the best and regularly. He didnt. He did play in the era of the 3 greatest players who have ever played but like i said needed to beat them on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thieme is good though and will probably win a few slams once the others retire or deteriorate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzza is a moaning b*****d of a legend who has entertained me richly over the years with incredible talent, humour and mainly grit. He has beaten the top 3 29 times. Losing 56. Would obviously be better if he had avoided all those injuries. His record demands respect. He's not the best. What a failing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done guys. 😐 Of those three, only Konta should be hanging her head after her performance. Murray's never been comfortable on clay and the conditions yesterday made it more clay-ey than usual. Likewise for Evans, he needs a faster court for his play. Konta, though? 40-something unforced errors; a semi-finalist last year (iirc) and up against someone for whom clay is an unfamiliar surface? Konta's noggin has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Norrie is a highly effective player but i find him incredibly dull to watch.

I can admire how relentless he is, and the placement on his shots is routinely spot on (taking the opponent from corner to corner), but yeah, he's not the most exciting to watch.
