View Full Version : KOOYONG 2012, AAMI Classic (Exho). Andy Murray taking part on Friday 13th
Thanks for the tweet steven.
Bit of a surprise, Muzz v Nalby, Friday 13th! ;-) RT @TennisNewsTPN: Andy Murray Completes AAMI Classic Field @ Kooyong
Kooyong update (http://www.tennispanorama.com/archives/21302?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_term=Tennis+News)
Ooh!! he did mention Kooyong in an interview but didn't say he was playing there. Maybe after the last 2 close matches he thinks he needs a bit more prep. Or maybe a chance to work with Llendl around proper matches before the AO.

The last sentence sounds very likely to me.
It looks like it may be just a one off match as they call it an "appearance". Hasn't he done one-offs before at the Kooyong Classic?
In this link http://www.tennispanorama.com/archives/21302?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter&utm_term=Tennis+News the actual field is stated as
JO-WILFRIED TSONGA (FRA – 6) TOMAS BERDYCH (CZE – 7)
MARDY FISH (USA – 8) ANDY RODDICK (USA – 14)
GAEL MONFILS (FRA – No. 16) MILOS RAONIC (CAN – No. 31)
JURGEN MELZER (AUT – No. 33) BERNARD TOMIC (AUS – No. 42)
And this is confirmed here http://www.aamiclassic.com.au/players.php

So it looks like a single match as the website talks of an 8-man classic.
A chance for Llendl to have a first-hand view of his new charge perhaps

Yes, isn't this what Andy did with Fish at Magnio-Cour (spelling??) last year?
Stay game fresh with Ivan in attendance...

Yes Andy mentioned the possibilities if he had gone out early, though of course he has played these one off matches before and of course whatever happens in Brisbane another match would be be beneficial with Lendl being available.
Friday 13th sounds good :)

Llendl has been watching him every match in Brisbane, doesn't that count?
On the TV perhaps, he flies out to Australia tomorrow.

Well done Andy - David played some good tennis - great to get it done in two sets.

Don't know whether he actually drank any of the stuff but it went down very well with the crowd.

Just HAD to mention that Bernard Tomic won Kooyong, beating Berdy, LaMonf, and Fishy along the way. Very proud of him.
JAMES4578
14-01-2012, 13:45
Yes a great week for Tomic, certainly impressive!
I really like Tomic's game, hope he continues to make progress over the next few years.
Well done Bernard - a lot of similarities with Andy in his game methinks.
Lol! Video (http://yfrog.com/7grhjz) of Andy drinking!

Wouldn't be surprised to see the beer company use that in a commercial! (Well not the last bit....)

14-01-2012, 21:15
Wonder why he did that? :lol:
david1610
14-01-2012, 21:18
To give the crowd some fun, which is a sign of how relaxed he was feeling!
i laffed at the time then instantly thaught i hope that drink dosnt have any illigal substances in it (a la gasquet) but thats just the paranoid glaswegian in me
That video won't play for me :sad:
But when I heard about it I thought exactly the same as J. Did he really take a drink off an unknown person and take a swig of it? He must be mad, it could have had anything in it.

Think it was all done on the spur of the moment and it was an exhibition,don't think he'll be repeating it though and he thought it tasted disgusting anyway!
It might have been an exhibition, but they get tested for drugs at all times and without warning. I really think it was a rather stupid thing to do (unless it was something that was set up beforehand with someone he knows).
not 100% sure but looks like the dude whose ber he nicked is wearing a red team murray tshirt
