ATP Rotterdam 2021 R16: [4] Angrey Rublev vs Angry Murray

[Nadal_King]

Peak murray would literally destroy rublev on this court, sadly this version is a pale shadow of his rocking version

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Not really impressed by Rublev so far, The Goffin could beat him

 

[Sysyphus]

Hey, at least he's playing evenly with a solid top tenner, aye

one of his less discouraging matches in a while

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Awk.

 

[Steve0904]

We've probably found the baseline level that Djokovic and Nadal have to sink to, to get beaten by the next gen consistently. That probably shouldn't be my takeaway from this match, but it is.

 

[Atennisone]

So what do people think of Rublev, hate, indifferent or loving

His grunt is stupid, as is everything else.

Well true,

 

[daphne]

Murray peaking bald!

So who thought Murray would be a servicegamebot

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

His grunt is stupid, as is everything else.

Why is his game stupid?

 

[Steve0904]

Why is his game stupid?

"He's a haircut and a forehand." - Ivan Lendl

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Would have been sad if he lost that point. Was killing the ball.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

"He's a haircut and a forehand." - Ivan Lendl

Well he should hire you as a coach, as you seem so smart

 

[Poisoned Slice]

 

[Steve0904]

Well he should hire you as a coach, as you seem so smart

Thank you.

[Harry_Wild]

Rublev breaks in second set! Playing Murray game too! 3-2 Rublev on serve.

 

[Dominic & Andrey]

Thank you.

It's irony, you are a snob moron

"Even when I was walking down the street post-Australia, people were telling me to keep going and keep fighting and keep trying.

After I spoke in Australia, Rublev was one of the first guys I bumped into in the locker room. I didn’t even know him that well, but he gave me a huge hug and told me to keep trying. There have been more moments like that over the past six months than before."

He's a good lad

 

[Steve0904]

It's irony, you are a snob moron

I'm aware of what it is. I'm just trolling the next gen for eternity. Don't take it so seriously.

 

[zvelf]

When did Murray get such a big bald spot?

He could use a haircut and a shave.

 

[Larry Duff]

When did Murray get such a big bald spot?

Marriage does that

 

[Slowtwitcher]

5-5 in the first was a nice dream

 

[Steve0904]

Marriage does that

And kids too.

I like Rublev. He's a limited player but he plays his cards as hard as he can. He seems like a decent guy. He comes across as very shy which I think makes him endearing to fans.

 

[Harry_Wild]

Rublev breaks again in second set! Playing Murray game too! 5-2 Rublev serving for the match!

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Andy said he needed more and Kim obliged. Ripped that hair right out of his head. Or so the story goes.

 

[Sysyphus]

So what do people think of Rublev, hate, indifferent or loving

a beautiful human being, there is no way around it

 

[Harry_Wild]

I like Rublev. He's a limited player but he plays his cards as hard as he can. He seems like a decent guy. He comes across as very shy which I think makes him endearing to fans.

Rublev has expanded is game quite a lot. He great at the net and if he gets in rhythm on his 1st serve, he never loose serve.

 

[Nostradamus]

Is that 26.5in?

No, Murray racket is 27.5 inches. he said he wanted the extra length to serve better

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Don't despair despair despair because new hair delivered by mail.

Yeah, some wild commercials.

 

[gn]

Rublev - good player. But he struggles against players with variety like current British No.1

 

[Harry_Wild]

Murray has really improve tennis game. Should be back in top 30s soon.

 

[Legend of Borg]

Marriage does that

And kids too.

genetics and hormones

 

[Picmun]

 

[Sysyphus]

Marriage does that

genetics and hormones

yes

if the wife is raging too much with hormones, the man will bald quicker

 

[Harry_Wild]

Rublev - good player. But he struggles against players with variety like current British No.1

Rublev #8 in the world! Better then good he is inside top ten! Top 10 means you are better then all the rest of the players in the world below.

 

[Steve0904]

genetics and hormones

I know all about the genetics. I'm younger than Murray, and I'm pretty sure I have less hair than him lol.

 

[gn]

It's funny. I am neither married nor have kids but I am balding.

 

[Rebel-I.N.S]

Murray was unlucky in that first set.

Overall, big improvements especially on serve and forward movement.

 

[Poisoned Slice]

It's funny. I am neither married nor have kids but I am balding.

Must be the steroid abuse then.

 

[Sysyphus]

It's funny. I am neither married nor have kids but I am balding.

this is a sign that you need a wife



so you can blame her for your balding

 

[ark_28]

Close as Murray was first set you kind of feel this is all quite unsavoury seeing a former world number 1 relegate himself on current form to a journeyman. Who will lose every tournament first or at best second round. I can’t see how long he will want to go on like this.

Love Rublevs aggressive game and is it just me or is there a bit of DelPo in his forehand set up?

 

[Sysyphus]

andy murray, as it happens, is a classic case of malding

 

[BeatlesFan]

Overall, big improvements especially on serve and forward movement.

Except for the DF's, I thought Andy moved and played pretty well. He looks physically able to withstand a match now which is great news. The bad news is clay season is starting and it will be tough for Muzz to make an impact on the dirt to improve his ranking. I'd love to see him in great form for the grass season.

 

[Slowtwitcher]

Love Rublevs aggressive game and is it just me or is there a bit of DelPo in his forehand set up?

It's just you

 

[gn]

Rublev #8 in the world! Better then good if you ranked in top ten! Top 10 means you are better then all the rest of the players in the world.

He is very consistent but also losing against the likes of Med, Zed, and Tsit.
