adi B Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Murray needs to work on his fitness and game in the off season. He is just not the same player this year. I would be surprised if he beats Tsonga to reach QF. yeah,he was struggling badly against haas.with such poor fitness and mentally shot this year,murray's chances look gloomy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 yeah' date='he was struggling badly against haas.with such poor fitness and mentally shot this year,murray's chances look gloomy[/quote'] It can happen when you struggle with something. Look at Federer last year. How poor he was. Contrary to popular belief that Nadal starts performing well immediately after a break, look at his performances in 2009 after he took that break. He did not beat any top 10 player for several months. So Murray needs to work on his fitness in the off season like Federer did last Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Interesting article in NYT. They surveyed top coaches, players and analysts at the US open and came up with this list for best strokes.

zep1706 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 BTW Borna Coric could be the youngster we all are waiting for. I have heard a lot about him already. He beat Rosol in straight sets and the kid is only 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suraj Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 going to US open today i.e. Friday August 29- any good matches that I should focus on? Is anyone else going?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 So far it's a bit of a drab US Open, not because of the matches, but the feel isn't the same as it was last year. Not having DelPo and especially Nadal just doesn't make it as exciting for me. Anyways from what I've seen, it looks like Novak has got his s**t together again and Murray has sorted out his fitness. Stan continue to make harder work of his matches than he should. Fed's ridiculously easy draw means he's guaranteed to coast through. I don't know if you guys saw it on Sky Sports, but after the Novak match Boris came in and gave a wonderful interview/discussion about all sorts. He knows a lot more than I thought he did and there is a lot of sense to what he says. The biggest thing I took from his interview was, he doesn't believe in the crap idea that Novak shouldn't practise with Nadal, Murray, Fed or other top players. He wants Novak to practise with them, cause it helps Novak and of course it helps his rivals too. But he said, Novak has only been able to practise with Murray as Murray's camp agreed to the offer. Becker said, Novak and Roger had been practising earlier in the day and they were both respectful to each other, but there was absolutely no friendliness. Both did at times eye up what the other was practising. Finally he was asked about practise partners for Novak now that he has Querrey and potentially Isner as well and he said he will need to find big servers to practise with, Rosol and the like. Great great interview with lots of interesting stuff being said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raghav_12 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 watching Djokovic vd Querry. Djokovic seems to back right on the top of his game brushing aside indifferent form of in rest of the US hard curt swing. Difficult to think anybody else winning US open.

adi B Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yeah Djokovic looks in supreme form in his last two outings.easily the best right now but Stan was hitting some unbelievable winners against Bellucci the other day.its gonna be either him or Novak to go through to the finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raghav_12 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Stupid Ten sports is preferring to show Serena Williams match instead of Djokovic match. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep1706 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Murray beat Tsonga relatively easily in 3. It was important for him to finish it quickly because the weather today is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
