Wimbledon been plagued by injuries this year and the final was no different. That was a very forgettable final. However the history books will tell the true story. Federer = GOAT

This could quite possibly be my last Andy Murray post on here. Looks like the hip injury is going to keep him out of many a tennis tournament in 2018 as well as 2017 now. Age won't be helping him with a comeback either as wrong side of 30 this year too.

I accept his career is over now. Thanks for the memories Andy. And allowing me to bump this thread so many times over the last decade. Almost certain British tennis won't give us another Andy in our lifetimes to support. And as for the many that hated him , well they won't even have anyone to hate on now.


A true underdog that fought hard to keep himself at the top of the game in an era of tennis greats, whilst beating them a fair few times along the way. Thanks for the many memories. You will be missed.

What do I know?

Just over two weeks later after that comment of mine we have a Brit* in the semi-final to face Cilic after Nadal retired against him just now.

Federer still in other side of the draw.

Murray beat Cilic in the semi-final of the Oz Open in 2010 to reach his first Grand Slam final where he got spanked in straight sets by Federer.

*South-African born, but Welsh mum living in UK since he was three.

Agreed. Nadal ain't getting close now.

Murray to retire this year possibly even before Wimbledon. Shame to hear this was genuinely proud to have an elite Scottish sportsperson. Hopefully he invests his time and effort into coaching and developing the next generations talent.

Yeah defo sad news about Murray, still somewhat achieved a lot in probably the most difficult time to be a tennis player. Those 4 are far and away the best tennis players of all time. Made watching old videos of Sampras, Agassi etc genuinely embarrassing to watch.

Murray played in an Era of which the top 3 tennis players of all time played in and he beat them to 3 Grand Slam titles. Stan the Man the only other player in the last decade to have a good record against the 3 greats.

The GOAT debate and who makes a list is for me a pointless venture, as after you've looked at dominance (Fed and Nadal) you have to realise how much tennis has evolved since yesteryear and that pretty much every one of those players from 7 to 10 would have struggled to achieve what Andy did during his time at the top.

Rafa being chopped up in a big way.

Gauff looking like the future of women’s tennis.

Noble on court on BBC right now. Done well for himself.
