Obviously, my heart wants Nadal to end a shit year, with a massive (if pretty unlikey) win. But hey, the defending champ is Marin Cilic- so who knows what will happen.Grin But he will face Coric in the first round, which might be tricky.

And Murray has Kyrgios. For a one-time only deal, I am firmly team Murray. The arrogant little Aussie needs to end 2015 with his tail between his legs- and come back next year more contrite. Of course, it has the potential to be as messy and sweary as their other encounters- which will trigger Nick's suspended ban. Here's hoping Grin

Just bumping the thread for the New year, tennis fansTennis.

Think we need a new one for the run up to the Aussie open. I can't believe it is 12 months since the last one!

just read that Sodering is retiring. Obviously, he hasn't played for ages, but there was always the possibility he might return.

A real shame that his career was cut short. (And I forgive him for beating Rafa at RG 2009) Grin]

Why doesn't Jamie Murray get more credit? the Davisd cup, yes, mainly carried by Andy, and kudos to Andy for getting everyone to remember WARD/Isner, and the times he wasn't playing and the others got through, but poor Jamie, it takes TWO in a doubles team.

I've just read that Edberg and Fed have gone their separate ways. This makes me Sad. No more Stefan at tournaments.

It was over the weekend, I couldn't find any tv coverage, but it seems Kyle Edmond did very well Grin

Must admit that while I was watching, every time they showed a shot of the GB crowd I wondered who was Trixy Grin

That was excellent- such a good match, that lob! Grin and then that lovely moment when Andy struggles to shake off his team mates so he could go and shake Goffin's hand.Tennis

oh FFS totally agree with the commentary.

and at the end, Barker Castle and LLoyd talking and shouting over the announcer- I wanted to hear all the credits for the organisers/umpires/referees too. that was really bad manners to talk over them.

Spoilt the moment of the FAB victory for me.

just STFU !!!!!!!!!!

and when Caslte or Lloyd said ''we'' have won at last. erm- no, you second rate players didn't come close!

I was watching, but darent post after I spooked Kyle yesterday.

The coverage drives me mad- castle and Lloyd are bad enough, but the constant replays, so you can never see the players react pisses me off not every point deserves a replay.

Above all why the beep do they keep taking the score down at the end of each point?! I drove dh round the twist moaning about the fact I had no idea Wtf the score was, because during the points I am watching the play!? Angry its just a little box in the corner of the screen arghh!

Hasn't anyone been watching today? Excellent match. Spoilt only by the incessant babbling inanities of Lloyd and Castle. Please could someone gaffer tape their mouths. It's telly you prats - we can see what is happening. And no, it is not fascinating to reminisce how Lloyd capitulated toe McEnroe in the 1978 Davis Cup. [anger][

Oh trixy so glad you had good time. I'm not at all jealous. No, really I'm not. I so am. Atmosphere looked brilliant.

Yes, I did go! We had front row seats and I've had about a million texts from people saying they had seen me.

Amazing atmosphere, I really felt for Kyle Edmund though, he was gutted.
