redm Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Crikey, I'm verging on nervous excitement...something I would normally only ever experience before a football match. I'm getting really quite into this tennis stuff. So, Wawrinka...I know he and Murray are chums but not much else. Anyone know the lowdown on 'Stan'?

Anyone know the lowdown on 'Stan'? by all accounts he will be far and away the best player he's played so far. stands to reason with it being later in the tournament i suppose. ex top 10 player, experienced, great backhand.

I read this morning that they practice together fairly often, so they'd probably know each others' game pretty well. Think this could be a 5 set'er?

Martin Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Not the greatest start but Wawrinka is more of a slow court player and hasn't been that impressive in the tournament so far. Not worried yet, still a long way to go. It's still all up to Murray. Hewitt through and in that match, good to see a bit of atmosphere for once.

Think it's more to do with the fact that one guy is completely free from the pressure and the other is still full of nerves. It's one of these matches where Murray's got to go for his shots and let Wawrinka run about, not the other way about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of these matches where Murray's got to go for his shots and let Wawrinka run about, not the other way about. he's got to relax and go for the shots, you're right. he's just so tight and he's making unforced errors which is just compounding the fact that the boy is playing federer-esque tennis. it doesn't look great to be brutally frank.

redm Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Even Ewan McGregor looks perplexed. I'm going with the theory that this is all part of some Murray orchestrated ploy to get himself a 5 set match.

It's strange to see him playing with so many nerves, especially as he has a reasonable record against Wawrinka. Although because his draw has been so easy up till now, he's just naturally under more pressure as Wawrinka could cause him problems. Not sure Wawrinka can keep his standard so high though and Murray's standard can't be any worse than in the first set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just mentioned that they think that was the best set Wawrinka has ever played and it's obvious that Andy's well under par so hopefully he's only going to settle into the match now... Breaking Wawrinka now would be a good plan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Wimbledon crowd have to get their finger oot though. Terrible support. The crowd is a joke. Too many people getting tickets based on who they know or just aren't that interested. Add that to the English folk who won't support Murray. i see it as being on a knife edge. next break of serve is vital. if it goes to murray then i could see the other boy possibly getting a bit wobbly. Agree. Murray needs the break to settle him down. At the very least he needs to keep it tight on his own serve because Wawrinka has never been great under pressure.
