Jeff Tarango on BBC 5 live Sports Extra: "Murray is going to get another chance to break. Cilic is bound to get nervous." Tarango might have gotten the names mixed up since Cilic promptly broke to go up 5-2.

"Cilic starts with a nervy double fault, but follows it with back-to-back aces. The next serve hits Murray plum on the wrist - and Cilic has two match points. Murray is forced long by yet another massive Cilic forehand - and that's it. The world number two is gone. Truly, a shock result."

Wow, I mean, WTF!!!!!!!! What happened.
Big disappointment. Despite my previous username, I do not depend on Murray winning the tournament, but getting thrashed like that ... that's worrying.

“I returned poorly and he served well,” Murray said. “That was really the difference. Once he got that first set, he hit the ball really well and started playing really aggressive[LY!!!].”

Yeah, getting thrashed like that by Cilic is worrying. Especially considering the same thing happened to him in all four Slams this year, by four different people, none of whom are ranked in the "Big Four" or went on to win the tournament.
Worrying indeed.

I don't know if I've ever seen a guy win a set against a top player while getting fewer than 30% of his first serves in. What a great 2nd serve Cilic has! Why have zero women got that skill?

Agreed, he did not. He lost those losses in less losery fashion while losing. Every time. To Verdasco, Gonzalez, and Roddick. This loss he lost to Cilic was much more of a comprehensive loss than the other losses to non-Big Four players, none of whom went on to win the tournament, he received in the three previous losing Slams this year.

P.S. Your new username is surely accurate; in fact, Federer might just cruise past 20 at this rate. Maybe next year.

Your point being.
If you think Murray is a crap player and too crappy to win a Slam, I disagree. I would say he plays inferior matches at Slams, for whatever reason. It shouldn't happen as he shows consistency on a very high level in the other tournaments.

Apparently, Muzza has a left wrist problem. But, still, he looks listless and didn't give the effort. I don't get his problem in slams. I've watched tons of his MS matches, where he looks so good and it makes zero sense. It's not that he's choking, he just gets really defensive in slams.

I randomly decided to enter the university tennis tournament and played my opening match today. It was my first time in seven years and I had no expectations. So you can imagine my shock at being up 5-0. But, then I ran out of steam and started feeling fatigued and lost 8 games in a row to lose the match (It was a one set, first to 8 games match). But, I'm happy. I need to work on the stamina and play more regularly. Also, the coach approached me and praised my monster forehand. Wow, this sounds like a match report for any of the women's matches at this year's US Open. Women's tennis.

We can always dream.
I dream not only at night I dream during the day When I want things to go right What type of dreams make sense I dream about being a great tennis player I dream about being an actress I dream about becoming an amazing designer I dream not only at night But I write down things to make my dreams come true I dream because I want to be something more in my life I love to act I love to play tennis I love to design I dream of people watching me holding up my third Wimbledon trophy I dream of people watching me on the big screen in movie theaters I dream of having every person owning at least 1 piece of my Aneres designs. I dream I dream not only at night I dream during the day When I want things to go right What type of dreams make sense?
Most of all I dream of being a good person to all that are inspired by me I dream of having girls, women, boys, men being fond of not only what I have done on the tennis court, or on the big screen or what I design but I dream that people think of me as a person. I dream that people think of me as a giving person as a person that loves life and is fun to be around. I dream
I dream of having a family. I dream of living a happy life Fearing God and being spiritual
I dream not only at night I dream during the day When I want things to go right What type of dreams make sense What do u dream of?
