I was willing Evans, Norrie, Murray and Salisbury to win but i enjoyed watching the Americans play as well. As soon as the match was lost, i headed for the car and never gave the result a second thought...and i imagine everyone else felt the same. But I had a great time, the kids had a great time, the noise was brilliant and the quality of tennis ridiculous. All for £30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on watching the doubles after the second set but would also have stuck it out if I was there in person. I've always liked Jack Sock and Rajeev Ram is a great player. So, like you, I'd have been cheering GB on but not being upset at seeing the Americans win. Thirty quid's a steal for something like 6-7 hours of top quality sport. I hope the seat was comfy!

Mikey1874 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I thought it was a little sad in the end at the speech Q&A but it was a good finale, and with everyone there. Nadal might need a bit of time to get over thinking he's let the man down losing the match but I don't think the result mattered. Federer actually played very well. Nadal and Djokovic may have more titles but Federer was the supreme player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of Top 50 players who have got there without a stuttering physical run up. I can't think of any (ultimately) successful players who've marked their card with so many "Ret'd hurt" at a young age. Makes me think there's something not right in the Raducanu camp/regime.

PortyJambo Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I would think next year is crucial for Raducanu. One of the reasons giving for her physical conditioning this year was that she had Covid late last year so missed out on a full winter conditioning period. Assuming she can work on conditioning at the end of this year, there has to be an improvement next season with regards to not pulling out injured every other tournament or questions have to be asked.

Her conditioning is clearly pish and while she can blame Covid or whatever else, it seems fairly apparent that winning the US Open made her think she had it made and could start coining it/tossing it off while continuing to win things. She’s got zero resilience and on that basis you’d think she’s got very little desire. Too much too soon and now wants it easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that there are any elite athletes out there, performing at the top of their sport, who aren't doping is frankly laughable. There's just too many folk who get caught out, if rveryone else at that level is keeping up, you have to assume they're at it. For the record, I have no problem with doping in sport. There are already unfair advantages around things like resources and opportunity to train depending on your economic circumstances...it's the rank hypocrisy around drugs that annoys me!
