Christ, now Shortiefluff has reported me for suspension as she thought my response was nasty .

Just in case I do get suspended () I hope Serena wins Stanford tonight, she is struggling big time with jetlag according to her twitter, and she has looked sluggish in the matches, however luckily for her she is facing CoCo, someone I can't see posing too much of a threat.

Hi, does anyone know where I could watch the Stanford match please?

[smartie 33]

With regards to Murray, I think he should try NLP. I did a short course in it a few years ago and while I can't remember much about it, I do recall that it's all about putting you in a resourceful state and encouraging you to study those who excel in particular fields. I'm sure an expert NLPer could get Murray in a state of mind where he can think as effectively as Nadal and Djoker, and then act in that manner when on the tennis court. I am explaining it all wrong, but know it's seen as a valid tool for business and sports people.

People need to see that he wont win one due to his draw. He still couldnt do it last Sunday but if he hadnt been so negative he may have.

That is all.

Tennisman gave a very long and IMO insightful answer to your query re Andys mental approach. Might be worth searching his previous posts, posted I think during the French Open. Disagree with your opinion that he hasnt improved, check the stats and you will see that he played altogether much better than prior to Wimbledon. He is and has remained the 4 best player in the world. He needs to keep upping his game, ie his serve, forehand etc. He is gutsy, but has the best in the world to beat. Who knows? It will not be for the want of trying tho.

May I just say "In your opinion", to which you are entitled. However, many others on here would entirely disagree with your opinion, and have formed their own opinions on the subject. Its good to share, listen and discuss.

Serena-CoCo has been better than I expected- Serena started off well but then lost her way and was 3-5 down, however won 4 games in a row to win the set 7-5.

Can't see her losing it from here.

Must also add, the male commentator is a right pain. Sam Smith is doing a great job, with insightful comments and then he overrides her but usually with the wrong information. And he just mentioned Serena's first round loss at Roland Garros. It is old news!

Serena was just foot faulted. Everyone waited with baited breath. She joked about it and moved on. Phew.

Serena wins Stanford, 7-5 6-3. Difficult first set but was easygoing for her after that.

Thankyou for posting. No Sky etcc so depend on posters to keep me informed. Glad she won.

Good win for Heather, first WTA title for a British woman in 20 years or so.

Serena & Sara won too. A good week! Oh, and John Isner too - I like him.

Watson winning a doubles title and Laura reaching her first semi in the same week. They keep this form up for the doubles at the Olympics and who knows what will happen. Shame they didn't get the singles wild cards too.
