Andy Murray lost today in Gijon against Korda 2-1 , Murray was the underdog so it was not shocking that he lost, the American is one of my personal favorite young players, i saw him play a couple of matches before, he is pretty good, he didn't quite blow up but he's still young, i'm pretty sure he can win a big title in the future.
After short break this is the highest reach of Andy Murray reaching Quarter Final. In his previous tournaments he used to end with group stages or by the third round. As age pass, his performance keeps moving downwards. More young players are ready to dominate the tennis world. One amongst them is Korda.Yeah, I think this is the highest that Andy Murray has reach in a tournament thus far, so it's not that bad however still very tough tournament for him as he lost to a young Korda.
So Korda will be facing Rublev now. I will go with Rublev in this one. I thight Rublev has some confidence but probably this will be extended into 3 sets, I reckon.
Andy Murray is finished and that happened a long time ago. Now he just plays tournaments and if he gets to the quarter finals its a big achievement for him. He goes on the tournament just because those tournaments invite him because he is a large name,but he aint a threat to anyone.
Yes, although he made a comeback and get his fans excited, I doubt think that he can bring back the clock. He might be satisfied on entering tournament and see how far he can go or even winning (and losing) against young guys.
I guess though the competitive spirit is still inside of him. Nevertheless, might be in a couple of years he might go and retire.

I would say he will retire soon, He isn't progressing at all. He can still get through the first
round and maybe the second round of a competition depending on who he plays. He
got to the quarter final here mostly because there were not as many top players. It's a
pity but there has to be a time when he pulls the plug.

Right now we have an event ATP - SINGLES Gijon Spain Thiem and Rublev won their quarterfinals now going to have tomorrow their semifinal in this event with Carreno-Busta is having hard time against French man Rinderknech with third set is right now play with the score of 1 each set for both player and third set is level with the score of 3 - 3 most chances Spaniard Carreno-Busta will be won this match and after this we have last quarterfinal between Murray vs Korda here in this match American Korda is hot favorite for win.
But, I am expecting good fight from Murray which is doing good in last few matches and trying to have the best result for him which is difficult but still possible.

Thiem didn't make it through to the final, he was beaten in two sets. Rublev will now meet
Korda now in that final. Just checking back over that competition and I see Rublev
is the highest ranking player there.
Over at the WTA San Diego, two more semi finals are scheduled later, Swiatek v Pegula
and Vekic v Collins. I think Pegula has a small chance here against Swiatek, the odds are 1.35
to 3.15. IMO Swiatek has not looked super convincing in some of her matches but I think I
will back her anyway regardless, the best handicap I can get on Pegula is +4.5......hmmm

I am watching the match between Swiatek and Zheng at San Diego and have a -4.5 handicap
on Swiatek. It's getting close to not being met if Swiatek wins in 2 sets....
Lucky, the match moved to the third set. Iga Swiatek won against Zheng at the third set, 6-4, 4-6, 6-1. As you've mentioned the match moving to the third set have got this match to be a winning handicap. In the Quarter final Swiatek to play against Coco Gauff.ATP - Firenze Open

Yes, what a relief, Swiatek pulled away in the third set. I forgot I had a -4.5 handicap on
Badosa to beat Chirico which she did easily 0-6, 3-6 so that was a handy bet.
Coco Gauff will probably be a slightly bigger challenge for Iga but she is still favourite
1.44 - 2.7. I'm not sure if I'll bet on that one, I can't get a ?.5 handicap on Coco, I would
like a 4.5 but Rollbit are offering max 4.0...
Yes, we have discussed as to who is going to take the leading position. But those guys doesn't have the same mentality of the big 3 or 4 way back. I mean if Medvedev becomes the number 1 he should at least won many tournaments by now. But it didn't happen and then Alcaraz took over, and so all eyes are on him, if he can maintain his position and lead the new pack or will he melt out under pressure from fans and background noises from behind. We have seen him lost to a relatively unknown player and that could not be a good sign, in my opinion. Consistency is the key here.
In my eyes there is way too much focus on the smaller tournaments. In the end, there is only one thing that's matters in tennis and that are the grand slams. So who cares that Alcaraz lost against an unknown player in a (smaller) tournament; even Federer/Nadal/Djokovic have lost matches against unknown players.
Hmmm that's a big statement. Yea the Grand Slams are what they are, there are only
4 annually, they pay the biggest prize money and are very prestigious but the lesser
tournaments have their part to play too. Some are more important to different players
for various reasons, that's why they keep showing up trying to win them.
Yes, of course Grand Slam are the biggest tournament and the center stage in tennis. But we also have seen 250 masters and up tournament that really mold great players to become successful in Grand Slam.
Of course everyone losses, but what I'm trying to say is that top players needs to be consistent and take every tournament seriously even if it small or mid or the big 4 Grand Slams.
Yes absolutely, another target for the top players is getting into top 10 and challenging
for the number 1 position. All the tournaments from 250 upwards play their part in
rewarding players with points which go into the journey to the top, they have to take
all tournaments seriously then!

I feel that it’s not wise to ignore the loss in smaller tournament’s, because champions never let their guard down even against unknown opponents. Furthermore those big 3 thrived to win in each and every match they played, and they had an attitude to give 100% in each and every match irrespective of the opponent and this attitude is clearly missing from this current generation of player’s.

I don't follow these tournaments. Usually I follow some matches of the Grand Slam tournaments. There are also so many tournaments on a yearly basis. You could watch a tournament somewhere every day. Actually, the unique content has disappeared a bit due to the crowded tennis schedule every year. Most attention is paid to the Grand Slam tournaments. Players are also picky about which tournaments they want to play each year. In the 90s there were far fewer tournaments and players were happy to fill their schedule. I'm hoping that Ashley Barty might want to make a comeback to tennis one day. It was so good, stopped much too early actually, but I understand it due to difficult private circumstances.

With every sports injuries happens. With tennis quite often we can see players taking long rest. With the young players, they have got more years to show their ability to the world. Even at the very young age they've got into the leading position. I find Medvedev, Felix Augur, Tsitsipas, Alcaraz to be taking the lead on the table for a long.
Few decades back we have no big prize money like this just because of these players were doing hard job and having good money, and they love to achieve titles as much they can but recently due to big prize money and not good dedication for prestigious titles players are taking too much rest and having fitness problems as well.Jimmy Connors hold the world record for most titles in tennis history, and he retired from tennis around 26 years back so with this now most chances no one going to break his record only Roger Federer reach new to him, and now we have only two players in action which are near to him but as their fitness and age factor are having impact on them most chances they could be not going to close this record.

I feel this is actually creating mental pressure on the player. For a player to perform well, he needs to have a healthy mental state. And I know that teenagers are supposed to be fearless and all that, but I find that young players can also be very quick to crumble under pressure.
So, I think he should be given credit for being number one in the world now, and if anything people should try to encourage him instead of trying to find his mistakes. I think there are enough people, enough experienced people for that.
