Hes 25. Although he did come to the sport later than most and has improved well in recent years.


25? That's disappointing to hear.

Bloody hell this Rosol guy! Can't see how Rafa is going to get out of this pickle. Fantastic news for Murray and Rosol will lose 6-1 6-1 6-1 next game and never be heard of again.

One more hold of serve, that's all it's going to take.

Murray is scheduled to meet Marian Cilic in round 4, that won't be easy whatsoever.

i've watched and played the game for 20 odd years now and i've never seen hitting like that! it was so pure,flat and hard..99mph back hands ffs!!! i cannot believe this guy(who's 26!!!) has lost 1st round quallies 5 times and is 100 in the world-incredible...bet he loses next round.

saw an odds question earlier....at 5-5 in the 1st he was 12/1 with Rafa at 1/80

i predicted a Djok v Tsonga final before tourne so i'll stick with that!!

He's got to get past Baghdatis first. I would expect him to, but again, not an easy one. AM has looked pretty good so far though. I think his route currently looks like Baghdatis, Cilic, maybe Ferrer or Del Potro, then Tsonga in the semis, and I would guess Djok in the final. No easy matches there - I'd be partcularly worried about Ferrer prior to the semis.

Cilic was looking like one for the future a few years ago, but he really hasn't made a lot of progress since. If Murray actually plays a good game of tennis like he is capable of doing (not saying by any means he will) then Cilic should not be much of an issue for him.

Ferrer is not a grass court player and will be much less of a threat to Murray than he was in the French Open, Del Potro is the toughest test before the semis, Murray can comfortably beat Tsonga on his day but I reckon he'll choke in the semis. I feel like whoever makes it to the final on this side of the draw will win it though for some reason.

I was reading that Sharapovo has got upset with comments Giles Simon has made about the equal prize money. He commented that he got the same for his 2nd round exit in a match lasting hours as a women who's match lasted half an hour.

He says the mans game is more exciting and Sharapova came back saying her matches get a bigger crowd that his - Its not because of the quality of tennis, dear.
