DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
First topic message reminder :
http://www.atpworldtour.com/Scores/Tournament-Draws.aspx
I always liked Dubai as a tournament. Lots of money at stake and to me it;s the equivalent of a TMS.
The draw is interesting:
It's Djoko / MUrray on the same half (looking forward to a revenge there.
And It's Federer v Llodra first round. I am sure, you can bet on this that the are going to make Llodra play early Monday...Tuesday at the latest to give Federer max chance of winning that one.
The top draw is certainly the toughest with Berdych and Davydenko on top of Nole and Andy.
Just realised that Federer has Delpo again....but I am sure Delpo will start to feel it in the legs.

Amazing line up - Murray, then Tsonga vs Baggy, then TMF and Delpo vs Dolgopolov to follow.
What a shame that I have to miss first two matches, but at least back for TMF and Delpo later

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
Murray looks a bit sluggish out there, I guess it's to be expected after a long break. Berrer playing some lovely stuff, but a couple of careless errors and a great return from Murray allow him to open up a 4-2 lead.
hello NITB by the way how did Novak do yesterday?

Nole did a R&R rusty but routine... looked very good, actually, fit fresh and hungry

Berrer breaks back. Good fight back.
BTW, Berrer has lost some weight, imo.

Murray going through one of those poor patches, needs to pull himself together, Berrer isn't going to go away.

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
Murray gets himself to breakpoint down, and suddenly gets some positive body language going again, finds some big serves, lets out a couple of "Come on!"s and battles back to hold.

Murray a bit wasteful in that game, a couple of errors when he was right in there and Berrer holds on.

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
well that was rubbish from Murray, error after error and he absolutely gift-wraps the set to Berrer who had to do nothing more than put the ball in court. Looks like the old "post-AO Murray" is back

Ok you got me there LF, he looks short and fat on screen. Are you sure those stats are correct. 220 lbs is a HW boxer

Murray finds a couple of decent shots to break straight away. Now FOCUS!!

He may have lost some weight recently, but he is a big guy.
He is built like an American Footballer - linebacker.

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
Now, a break up immediately in the third.
Post AO Murray 2010-2011 would wobble his way through the set with at least one break-back, let's see if post-Lendl Murray can at least show a bit of ruthlessness in the final set.....

Oh FFS - 15-40 down and second serve. You've got to wonder sometimes.

and now Berrer's turn to be generous, with a horrible framed forehand giving Murray the break.

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
All the top players can have early round wobbles, is it just me, or does Murray seem to have more, and do his seem to depend more on loss of concentration than overall rustiness compared to the others?

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
First match after AO, very unlike Djokovic. This is not clean, as it should be against ATP #116. I am peed at Lendl-Murray now.
WTF did they do in a month post-AO? Train in Miami?

and another shocking service game with two DFs and two dreadful FHs gifting the break back again.

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
Djoko, Nadal, and Federer would never look the gift horse of two breaks at the opening of the third set against a journeyman by giving back two on their own service. I'm not watching, just following, but I can only imagine it's the usual pitiful stuff that one (reluctantly) associates with Murray at his worst.

Berrer has more fans than Murray - I think that tells it's own story about how Murray is perceived outside the British Isles.

Re: DUBAI 2012 Draw and Matches live!
Berrer with a decent hold, but Murray is just beating himself right now, he seems incapable of keeping the ball in the court, I just don't get where this last 45 minutes have come from, he was doing OK until then...

There is one instance of Federer losing from 5-1 up, if you recall.

Murray keeps the ball in court for a few shots on a few points, and holds.

Murray with one of his best shots of the day, a FH pass ripped up the line, and he holds.

that last game might explain why Berrer is ranked so low, that was a shocker.

Murray through. Just found a bit of fight there in those last two games and it was enough, but it was a very poor performance (well the last two sets were, the first was OK). Worryingly his BH misfired quite badly throughout...
