Different surface, sliding about on clay suits his style, the fresh grass at Wimbledon grips which puts more stress though his knee.
He sacked off the match after losing the 2nd set (tiebreak). He'd have found it easier in the 2nd week when the court is drier and plays slower. Sensible decision to sack it off. Rest the knee for the Hard Court Season and leave this surface for the serve bots and speed merchants to scrap it out. Helps Murray as he'd never have beaten a fully fit Nadal on a slower grass court. Him and Djokovic in the final IMO.
Careful DL, those who didn't know better might begin to think that you don't rate the Brits very highly at sports
Lendl has brought Murray's game on leaps and bounds. He's stopped the moonballing and playing for unforced errors and now is a really aggressive player that dictates points with powerful groundstrokes and good tactical play. Murray aside, Britain has no hope of a GS/Wimbledon winner in at least 10-20 years.
Forgive my ignorance but what on god's earth is 'Moonballing'? Sounds like something we used to do on buses to old ladies....the standard 'Moony' but we'd also pull down the pants a touch more to reveal a dangler or both. you lost points if someone flicked your bollock and it made an audible slap on your bum. Anyway, not heard this term, what is it? cheers
Deep, high baseline hitting with the sole purpose of making opponent make unforced errors. Imagine hitting a ball up at the moon, akin to "skying the ball", turn of phrase used in football.
Harsh HBIC In fairness the dark days of tennis are long gone due to having slower courts and more versatile players. Traditionally, Americans (and Aussies) are fiery and don't like playing long rallies, they lack patience and it's probably why they've never done well at the French. I find American players really struggle when they can't outhit their opponents. Europeans (generally) have a more versatile game.
Come on, you lot. You're generalising far too much. All American players aren't like that. Only the women.
As long as the kit quality is better than the old Pony kits, I couldn't care less! I remember having a home kit, as well as a purple and Navy away kit. - Both of which faded around the collar and pretty much fell apart after just a few washes!
