Tennis!

Nadal is a phenom.

[Berober]

Is that iconic or legendary though?

[Arjen Robben]

Rafa Always proper fearful when he plays Djokovic cause he's always a nightmare for Nadal, but hurray, Rafa!

[Lineker]

Andy Murray has named Amelie Mauresmo as his new coach.

[Lineker]

Nadal and Sharapova both knocked out of Wimbledon! Murray is looking seriously good once again though.

Uhum.. Murray out in straight sets againts Dmitrov.

I jinxed Murray

Eugenie Bouchard has made it to the Finals and Raonic has a chance to do so as well. Pretty exciting day for Canadian tennis.

Kvitova won it in just 55 minutes! Some amazing tennis.

Defending champion Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the US Open due to a wrist injury.

Cilic beats Nishikori in the US Open final. Wonder what odds you could have got on that happening before the tournament...

Cilic's win means that Andy Murray will slip out of the world's top 10 for the first time since 2008. Murray also drops to 11th place in the Race to London - with a significant number of points to make up on Tomas Berdych, who currently occupies the final qualifying position for the World Tour Finals. Murray is due to play three more events before November's event and may need to reach the final of either the Shanghai or Paris Masters to have a chance of qualifying.

Nishikori didn't even turn up in the final, Cilic beating him with very little effort. Mens tennis is getting very interesting at the moment, anyone of the top 20 can win a major now and not just the top 3 or 4. As for Murray, he's probably in the best form of the year so it wouldn't surprise me to see him get in the top 8 before the season's end.

Murray is through to the Aussie Open final.

[Adam]

I really think he might win it this time. Got his confidence back, is fully fit and is finally bringing all facets of his game together under Mauresmo. His will to fight back against Dimitrov and Berdych has been great to see as well.

[Lineker]

One-way traffic for Djokovic so far. 4-1 up in only the first set.

(NB we could probably just make this the general tennis thread...)

[Adam]

Get to work on a name change for the thread James! I agree we should just carry this thread on.

Absolutely loving this, I don't think I've ever seen a set of tennis like that 2nd set. They've both broken again by 2-2 in the 3rd. I'm gonna miss the Super Bowl at this rate!

[Lineker]

I didn't make the thread! A mod will have to do it.

[MDK]

Cracking game, this

[The Lusophone]

Murray looks beaten. Needs something to change for him to get back into this.
