min Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Really didn't think Evans was capable of this form - first ever ATP final in Sydney last week and now a career best performance in a major. He'll comfortably enter the top 50 in the rankings after this tournament and overtake Kyle Edmund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 A terrible performance by Murray. So many errors that he never normally makes. Gutted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Murray is a perennial underachiever. He'll go down as a good tennis player, but he'll never trouble the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bannannan Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Winning 3 grand slams coming from Scotland,yes i know he went to Spain,is hardly under achieving.Competive tennis in Scotland is the ultimate backwater,nothings changed for years.

Parklife Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 He's only won 3 slams, 2 Olympic Singles Golds, the Davis Cup, 1 World Tour Finals and 14 Masters 1000 events, all while competing against 3 of the 4 or 5 finest players in history. WHAT A FAILURE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The thing I find frustrating, and this isn't Murray's fault, is that if Wawrinka wins this tournament which is a possibility he'll have more Slams than Murray who is a considerably better player!!

Murray is more consistent, works harder and is less likely to suffer shock defeats as his level rarely drops low enough to lose to players ranked >10. Hence him being consistently higher ranked. I'd say Stan's best tennis is a higher level than Andy's best though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
