2016 Olympics SF: [2] Andrew Murray vs [4] Kei Nishikori

[NatF]

Awful miss from Kei. Been a couple of shockers from him so far. Murray bullying him from the backhand side and his forehand is making errors.

 

[La Grande]

LMAO AWFUL

 

[gn]

It is over

 

[Terenigma]

Nishikori losing the plot in that game and Murray is pretty much gifted the break. Awful game.

 

[NatF]

Nishikori is a disgrace, next gen sucks

 

[La Grande]

"It's so unlike Nishikori" No it isn't

 

[fps]

Nishikori collapses for one game. That should be the match.

 

[WarriorRafa]

That was horrible from Nishikori. Probably the worst game I've seen this tournament

Nishikori would count as the current generation.

 

[Rafa the King]

This is so ****ing boring

 

[La Grande]

So fcking going on about his "physical stature". Even as the smaller guy, he makes more bloody errors. Under powered and suspect consistency too? So because he's average height, he's inconsistent? Find another bloody excuse.

 

[Krish872007]

Murray needed this quick match - should get enough rest for the final now

 

[mightyrick]

Strong Era

 

[Apun94]

Its truly frightening how bad this crop of players are. Beating the top 4 is one thing, atleast try to make a match out of it.
I miss Ferrer rn.

 

[veroniquem]

Nishikori would count as the current generation.

Yeah current gen is rather lackluster. I think next gen will be a bit better.

 

[La Grande]

Less tennis ability is the reason he's losing. Course, he won't be serving bombs at 5'10, but he's got no weight of shot. There's other players at his height with more. Again, less tennis ability (than Murray). Nishikori has bags of talent, but when it all comes together, it isn't quite enough.

He's doing much better than guys basically double his height, so stop belittling everyone on tour who isn't fit to play in the NBA. Fcking commies.

he feels he has to go for more to compete with the best players.

you all are being a little hard on the guy!

 

[VamosBamos987]

Murray: Still a strong field.

 

[NatF]

Can hardly be worse...

 

[Djokovic_is_the_best#1]

Nishi is a joke against the top players, but on a brighter note, great to see muzza maintaining his form again! Good for tennis!

 

[La Grande]

Haha, it might seem that way, but I actually think he's pretty good. He doesn't seem to bring it against the best which is infuriating. I'm just sick of the commies mentioning his height every time he's faltering. They don't say that when he beats servebots routinely.

I understand Murray is closer to the "right tennis height", but sh it, Kei knows his strengths. He just can't put it together when it matters to be and beat the BEST.

Yes otherwise there would be no in form players on the tour right now

 

[heninfan99]

the weight of his country is too great
nishi not having fun out there

 

[iopzzza]

The big 4 are just inhuman guys Accept it

 

[mightyrick]

This is what makes me have immense respect for a guy like Steve Johnson. The guy gets bageled... completely destroyed in the first set. Then has the sack to regroup, fight hard and actually wins the second set. He was even a break up in the third before gifting the break back. But the guy competed hard, did the best with what he could, and it showed.

Nishikori? This isn't a problem of matchup or skills. The guy just doesn't have the heart to deal with adversity.

 

[Meles]

Murray breaks "let's go!"



Just needs to keep a high first serve percentage!!

Its got more bend and much better than the flat one and naturally higher percentage.

 

[Meles]

Forehand too and you can see the difference in his positive aggressive shots. Its Lendl, i regret ever doubting that man. Lendl brings the best out of Murray.

Ninja clearly taking so he can get the bronze.

because he does not dope?

Well said.

 

[heninfan99]

let's hope Delpo brings it later

 

[TheMuzziah]

Murray's reflexes wow

 

[La Grande]

His passing shots aren't very good, are they?

 

[La Grande]

Lmao, throws his racquet

 

[Apun94]

let's hope Delpo brings it later

Lets hope he doesnt

 

[La Grande]

Which current/next gen players will grind the big 4 into oblivion? Why can no one grind under the age of 28?

 

[La Grande]

Kei's defense is very very suspect. He's not even close to perfecting the wide stretching low defensive slice, when under pressure that the top guys have.

 

[La Grande]

At least the Japanese fans are having fun

 

[La Grande]

83% first serves in for Murray, wow.

 

[NatF]

Great return and then a poor error.

 

[La Grande]

Nishikori malfunctioning.

 

[La Grande]

That was a weak minded error. Match point.

 

[NatF]

Silver medal (at least) was there for the taking Murray.

 

[Krish872007]

Greatest match ever played.
Really shows how the Big 4 are such incredible mental titans - bastions of tennis.

 

[gn]

That was some shot

 

[La Grande]

Amazing from Murray. He's an absolute genius.

 

[NatF]

What a rally. Think Kei made a mistake hitting down the middle when he approached but still wow.

 

[TheMuzziah]

Ohhh yesssss

 

[jaggy]

Point of the year

 

[Krish872007]

GOAT

 

[Terenigma]

GSM! Superb match from Murray. I told you guys he would step it up for this match after the awful Johnson match. Gaurenteed medal for Andy too!! Vamos!!
