Fairbairn Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Not the best draw for Murray. Potentially facing Tsonga in the last 16, Ferrer/Nadal in the quarters, Federer in the semi before Djok in the final. Going by that I assume Djokovic's potential route is Lapland, Melchester Rovers and me & my Mum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnie x Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Thats a bugger of a draw if it goes to seeding. Can see Nadal and Ferrer getting knocked out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmondo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It's tough but don't think it's too bad, a few years ago it would have been worse. Tsonga is a tough draw for an earlier round though. Djokovic does appear to have a much more straightforward route right enough, avoiding the same half of the draw as Murray, Tsonga, ferrer, Federer, Nadal and berdych, althought there are tricky opponents in his half in the way of dimitrov, wawrinka and raonic. I predict his path will be: R1 - Kukushkin R2 - Haase R3 - Stakhovsky R4 - Tsonga QF - Nadal SF - Berdych F - Djokovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I don't think it's too bad tbh, could be a lot worse. Haase could be a test in round 2 but it looks like his best surface is clay. Tsonga is a tough R4 opponent but out of form. I think dezmondo could be right about his opponents, but Federer might come through as it's Wimbledon. Djokovic has a tough section to be honest. R1 Kohlschrieber R2 Hewitt R3 Tomic R4 Anderson QF Nishikori SF Wawrinka Stan has no one to worry about until Djokovic in the semi and Federer is the same until the QF v Berdych.

min Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm just glad Murray's on the other half of the draw from Djokovic, who will potentially play Wawrinka in the semi - not easy. Some big names in Andy's path, but he should take care of the first three rounds with minimal fuss. Tsonga has been injured since the French Open, so not sure how fit he is and he's slowly slipping down the rankings. Nadal - who knows?? - wouldn't surprise me if he gets knocked out during the first couple of rounds, but equally could go far - really hard to call. Federer is still a force, particularly on grass, so I'd expect him to get to the semi and he will fancy his chances - still, I'd rather Andy faced him instead of Djokovic in the semi!

Grantyboy1983 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Stuck £40 on Murray to win tournament @ 5/2, should have put it on a few days sooner when 3/1. Murray is capable of beating anyone on grass if he shows up and he looks to be in good shape leading up to Wimbledon, had a very good season so far, just missing a slam.

Grantyboy1983 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Djokovic wins 1st round match in straight sets against Kohlschreiber, fairly comfortable in the end but didn't set the house on fire, will need to up his game if he wants to win the tournament and i'm sure he will. Also good to see Liam Broady, the British wildcard win his 1st ever Grand Slam match, came back from 2-0 down in sets to win against Matosevic who has now lost 14 matches in a row and is having a stinker of a season. Reckon I probably could have beaten Matosevic the way he was playing at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
min Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Djokovic nowhere near his best in that match, but that's understandable considering it's his first match on grass since winning Wimbledon 12 months ago. Kohlshreiber is also as tough an opponent as any of the top players could draw in the first couple of rounds. Still, encouraging for Andy that Novak's serve was broken a couple of times.

biffer Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 James Ward has a great opportunity to progress a few rounds. He was due to play Ferrer in the first round, but he's withdrawn and been replaced by a lucky loser ranked 113 in the world (much the same as Ward). If he can win that match he'd have a second round against either Vesely (#45) or Lorenzi (#83). If he can find a bit of form - and a bit of his Davis Cup form would work - he might make the third round where he'd be up against someone like Pospisil or Fognini.

buckielugger Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Well its time to watch all the English players disappear in opening days as usual. And have them all called plucky and heroic etc. The bbc can never be honest and say they were poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sloppy from Murray and never really found his rhythm. Sure he looks set to win in straight sets but he must up his game and I am sure he will. The slams are all generally about getting through the opening rounds with minimum fuss and at least he looks like getting through in straight sets.

dezmondo Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Nothing to worry about. Upped the gears when needed. I'm sure he'll be a bit more clinical in the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 First (female) match completed in less than an hour on centre court. 36 minutes to be exact. Kvitova only lost 1 point on her serve in the match and that was a double fault. Incredible performance. She will go very close to winning a 3rd title.

weekevie04 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Suppose he did enough to get through, but the Kazakh lad was 30-0 at 6-5, and he seemed to overcook a few shots at key times. Looked a very good player and if he kept his cool certainly could have taken Murray to five sets. Job done for Murray though. Fairly enjoying it and not really a tennis fan. Andrew Castle is hilarious in a fud way, I've checked his Twitter and seems he can take a joke, so fair dues to him, - he just rattles on and on when probably silence would be a better option, he was asking his co-commentator about Fifty Shades of Grey at somepoint today and then blethering on about McIlroy when Wozinacki was on. I seen a Slovenian guy named Kavcic (sp)? earlier and he looked really good, but I don't have a scoobie as he's apparently 10/1 for his next game!
