I highly doubt we'd have the teenagers coming through without Andy's Success, even Tim Henman's success and the LTA and the national lottery investing in facilities. Without these steps chances are Miss Raducanu might have gone to France or ended up somewhere else and these facilities and coaches have helped her develop and hone the natural talent she has.

Murray went to Barca at a young age so massive improvements in coaching/facilities must have come in since his success.

and effusively praising the Queen and saying how great a role model the she was after she got that message from her (some people on Twitter had a meltdown over this)

I mean thats just ridiculous. There are some nefarious characters in the Royal Family, as with any family, but I dont know how anyone can have issues with the Queen. She has been a phenomenal Queen. Mind you, you mentioned it was on twitter and I guess that shouldnt surprise me, twitter is an absolute cesspool.

Anyone going for Medvedev in tonight's match?

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:10

No

Djokovic in 5 though.

Eddie · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:18

Tbh, unless I have an interest on the other side of the net I tend not to watch either player that much.

Reuben klang · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:28

Can’t see medv winning even with this good start but my word I’m rooting for him.

Everything about novax annoys me, most boring player ever.

marc2003 · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:34

More service games like that pls.

edit: no, not you Novak

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:38

No, I won't settle for you and Greg! I want Tim and Jim.

Eddie · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:40

Amazon's audio has been a bit dodgy all the way through the tournament.

They've still got that thing where the audio seems to move from one channel to the other and then back to stereo - they solved it for a few days but it came back.

Jim is excellent but Tim can **** right off.

Sometimes it feels like amazon prime only exists to massage his ego.

marc2003 · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:45

Christ, that trophy for the wheelchair dude looks like it cost 50p.

Treasonous words my good man :mad:

Reuben klang · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:46

I don’t mind Tim. Greg is a bit meh though.

Eddie · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:48

I think there's still a bit of tension between Tim and Greg, I don't think they like each other that much even now.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:49

Tim's no Jim but compared to Castle, Lloyd and McEnroe he's incredible.

Eddie · 12 Sep 2021 at 21:55

Tim is good but for me Jim is probably the best tennis commentator.

I don't like Petchey's commentary that much, tbh.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Sep 2021 at 22:00

And so it begins

marc2003 · 12 Sep 2021 at 22:01

That's just careless from Medvedev.

edit: well saved, I take it all back.

Pigeon_Killer · 12 Sep 2021 at 22:02

Just throw those ***** out, they get way too many chances these days. Get warned by the umpire, scream mid serve to try and put Medvedev off.
