Just to be clear, it is Andy Murray that won.

Thank you. Yes, I heard on one of the FiveLive news last night that it was indeed Andy Murray. I suppose I was a bit surprised! Very pleased, though, of course.

Murray in final after beating Kyrgios against Berrettini. Evans in final at Nottingham

Looking at a link about Andy Murray latest, I see that Nick Kyrgios complained about racial abuse. What is that all about? Isn't he a Greek-Australian?

Wouldn't it be great if Andy Murray got through to the Wimbledon final!

As far as I can find he was called 'a little black sheep' and told to 'shut up and play a little'. Hmm...

Murray loses in 3 sets to Berrettini.

Big shock at the Libema Open where Tim van Rijthoven whom I had never heard of till this week, beats Medvedev in the final, after beating Auger Aliassime in the semi final.

Evans wins at Nottingham

As last year's French Open points drop off Djokovic falls to number 3 in the rankings, and will fall further down after Wimbledon points drop off. It means for the first time since 2003, the top 2 does not contain one of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, or Murray.

Queens starts today. 3 UK men in action in the singles, all with tough draws. Draper v Fritz, the number 4 seed, Broady v Cilic, number 7 seed and previous winner here, and Norrie, the number 3 seed and last year's finalist, v Dimitrov, the highest ranked non seed and another previous winner.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #108 on:** June 13, 2022, 07:47:37 PM »

Defeats in 3 sets for Norrie and Broady but big straight sets win for Draper.

Excellent win for Dart in the wonen's tournament at Birmingham

And Murray out of Queen's

(Queen's what?)

Very disappointing for Murray of course, but I hope he feels really pleased with his ranking.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #111 on:** June 14, 2022, 12:30:59 PM »

Another 3 UK men in action at Queen's this afternoon.

Iubb v van de Zandschlup, who last year became the first lerson to get through qualifying on all 4 slams. A record which is going to be difficult to equal, since in qualifying for the first 3 you make it very likely that you won't need to qualify for the 4th.

Peniston (stop giggling at the back) v Ruud, the no 1 seed.

Evans v Berrettini, the number 2 seed and reigning champion.

At Birmingham only UK woman playing in the singles today is Boulter v Riske, 7th seed.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #112 on:** June 14, 2022, 03:37:20 PM »

Jubb out in 3 sets.

But huge victory for Peniston over Ruud, no1 seed, 5th ranked in world, and recent French Open finalist.

Draper beaten by a very impressive Ruusuvuori, leaving only Peniston from the UK in the singles at Queen's.

Ar Birmingham, Boulter through but Dart out.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #116 on:** June 16, 2022, 06:41:54 PM »

And Peniston into quarter final after topsy turvy match.

Nearly Sane · « **Reply #117 on:** June 21, 2022, 11:06:17 AM »

And Berrettini won Queen's for 2nd time and is currenyly joint second favourite for Wimbledon with Nadal, behind Djokovic.

Had the pleasure of watching an excellent match yesterday between Linette and Riske - 6-7 6-3 7-6. Filled with great shots, and swings in fortune.

Isner serves at 134mph and Andy holds-on for a fourth set.

Fingers and toes all firmly crossed!

Apart from a phone call from a friend half-way through, I listened to most of that and it sounds as if it was a good match and not a humiliating type of defeat for Andy Murray.

So we are guaranteed 2 men in the semi finals who have never reached a slam semi final.

I heard bits on Five Live yesterday, but I didn't catch who it was that Moray beat in the round before the semi-final, or indeed, whether he is one of the semi-finalists?

I heard that Heather Watson was out but doo not know which three women are the ones you refer to.

We're not at the semi finals yet. We're at the last matches in the 4th round but given those left the numbers above will be correct. If by Moray, you meant Norrie, then he beat Tommy Paul to get into quarter finals where he will play Goffin.

Little gem of a match into 5th set and 3-3 all between Garin and De Minaur
