Did Murray and Djokovic tank AO 2017?

[clayqueen]

Some people are in denial that Murray and Djoker actually lost early at the AO proving wrong all predictions that they were the favourites. These people seem to believe that those two walk on water and can win or lose at will.

Sure.

 

[H_Richardson]

Nobody says that.

Sir Andy Murray was copying the vile Top Spin 4 stunt by dancing around on the baseline while his opponent was serving. He might be able to walk on water, but that was no tank.

Ridiculous.

Does that help returning serve?

Does that help returning serve?

I admire your quest for Top Spin dominance. I suppose it can help you if your opponent is easily distracted. I used to move around a little on the baseline so I could time my return. I've played people that go overboard and just do it to try and put you off.

Does that help returning serve?

yes

No. They lost to opponents who were better on the day. Neither of the top 2 seeds expected such a challenge in the first week. They didn't prepare and paid for it.

Yep, that about sums it up!
