New thread for a new season!
Some interesting results at Nottingham.
Raducanu winning a few matches!
Cameron Norrie beaten by someone I must admit I have never heard of called Jack Pinnington Jones (he is 21 seemingly plays for TCU who Norrie used to play for) so Jack Draper will be new british number 1.
A good win for Draper over Tiafoe...a lot of aces (31 in total).
Draper into Stuttgart final after comfortable win over Nakashima. Berrettini in the final (great to see him climbing the rankings).
If his fitness holds up could be a very tricky opponent at Wimbledon.
Raducanu walkover so into semi with Boulter.
The Draper Berrettini match was really good! One set all after Draper won second set tiebreak, Draper edged third set. First atp title for him.
Andy Murray wins in three sets against Popyrin!
Alcaraz solid in bits I saw against Cerundolo, in form Draper next!
Surprise win for Billy Harris against Tomas Etcheverry
Murray retires injured at Queens, less than two weeks to Wimbledon... oh dear....
Does anyone know if the Federer documentary is showing on Amazon Prime Video that includes Ireland?? Weirdly it's not advertised or searchable on the app at all..
Out on June 20th looking at the trailer
Draper taken first set of alcaraz at Queens...
Was watching Sinner playing fabulously on Sky, saw this and turned over.... 5-2 in second 😱
And he has won second set 6-3 and the match huge win for him very impressive!
Another decent win for Billy Harris against Mpetshi Perricard (jeepers he is tall!)
Draper v Paul is a very good contest, tight. Draper levels up taking second set into a third!
Not a massive surprise but confirmed that Murray out of Wimbledon.
A terrible pity he didn't get to sign off on the court.
It's now been clarified that his withdrawal isn't confirmed.
I saw that apologies meant to post again. Surgery on his back I really doubt he will make it alas.
Very decent win for Katie Boulter against Ostapenko at Eastbourne.
Raducanu down an early break against Pegula.
Raducanu fighting back...lost tight first set...but won an even tighter second battled back from breaks and saved a match point, it is her first set ever against a top 10 opponent!
Raducanu finally gets it over the line against Pegula. Breaks of serves all over the shop at end of third set.
Billy Harris levels up one set all against Max Purcell.
If he can win this match he would possibly creep into the top 100. Not bad at all, has a wild card for Wimbledon as well. Not to be alas but an amazing few weeks for him.
Wimbledon thread
Rafael Nadal moves into the semi-finals of the Swedish Open after a hard-fought win against Mariano Navone. (6-7 7-5 7-5)
He lost in a one sided final but a few tough battles to make it there by the looks of it.
Still not a bad result for him to reach the final after a first-round exit at the French Open.
Definitely not.
Berrettini also continuing his upturn in form with winning the swiss open and has nudged back inside the top 50
Murray definitely, definitely, definitely last tournament at the Olympics……
Sinner and Rune both out of the Olympics with tonsillitis and wrist injuries respectively. Disappointing the world #1 won't be there, methinks he'd be playing if it was a grand slam. Hopefully there won't be too many more withdrawals.
Murray pulled out of the singles but still playing doubles (given how that went at Wimbledon I wouldn't be hopeful for a medal). Is this not kind of selfish plenty of strong doubles and singles players that could have been picked?
I admire his determination to give things a go but really he should have retired at least a couple of years back, and with the benefit of hindsight he could have just called it a day after his surgery in 2018.
