New tweet from Andy


Thanks to everyone for the support this week, look forward to next week preparing for the big one!



Murray tweeted yesterday in response to someone saying how negative Barry Cowan was about his win, saying;

"not suprising he's got about as much tennis knowledge as sparrow, awful commentator who never achieved anything"

The tweet has since been deleted, probably got a phone call from his management!


I know Drew, I posted it on the Cinny Final thread as we did'nt have this thread then,I thought it was funny especially the end #tool, wondered why it had disappeared maybe your right!! :D


More tweets from Andy.

In response to Thomas Schoorel telling him well done

In response to Dani boy fretting about the flight (bless him)

Anyone know how to find out which of Andy's team is 8th? There must be a link of the fantasyleague bt couldn't find any info in the standings (or was clueless)

In response to Ben Winston tweet of


Disgusted by Wenger's suspension. All started from an original awful ref decision to send RVP off. Yet that ref & jose 'poke eye' unpunished


@benwinston right before maybe there most important game of the year!How has it taken about half a year to decide! Do they want arsenal out?

@colin_fleming siiiiiiiiiiii let me feel the fibre of your fabric



Murray tweeted yesterday in response to someone saying how negative Barry Cowan was about his win, saying;

"not suprising he's got about as much tennis knowledge as sparrow, awful commentator who never achieved anything"

The tweet has since been deleted, probably got a phone call from his management! Oh well I missed that one. It was probably deleted before I checked in. Funny though. isn't it?


I think what really might have got his PR people twitchy was his ending his tweet '#tool' :lol:



I think what really might have got his PR people twitchy was his ending his tweet '#tool' :lol:

I think you've got to love Andy's honesty - in general. However, posting comments about a Sky Sports presenter isn't wise. I've no doubt he gets annoyed by some of the remarks that Barry makes - we all do.

I don't think Andy's comment about the trophy was necessary. It is 'bloody ugly' as he said but shhhhhh Andy.

No doubt he can be a PR nightmare sometimes.


A couple of tweets recently

Earthquake at flushing meadows! Weird weird feeling thought I was just dizzy....


Earthquake was in washington dc 5.8, was only the after shocks here in new york strange feeling hope everyone is ok in dc

@andy_murray Andy Murray

is the 18th pull out in the us open telling the tennis authorities anything?? No?? Thought not....



A string of tweets from Andy!


@colin_fleming I'm gettin messages from everyone saying you are a shambles on the radio!

@RoscoHutchins @colin_fleming just heard five live lost half of there listeners in the last 30 minutes.... #brutalchat

@colin_fleming @RoscoHutchins were you and rosco discussing how easy doubles is? Cause I missed it....

@5livetennis @RoscoHutchins @colin_fleming don't we all love a walkover into the quarters of a slam.....

@NeilHarmanTimes looking like 11am for me toomorrow, interesting

@5livetennis I don't believe that has ever happened in the history of tennis

@5livetennis its getting late I understand, I'm enjoying being tucked up in bed getting slammed by the commentators hahah

Off to be now, not sure ill get to have my warm up on ashe as fed and monaco might still be playing!
That ^^^ is surely sarcasm at the speed of Fed's win over Pico Monaco!
:D






That is what I thought when I read the tweet. Andy is a funny man on twitter!



No rain at all at flushing meadows right now..... Promising

Good news, let's hope it stays off!


Well, get them on court NOW!!!



Well, get them on court NOW!!!


That was my first thought too, it may be the only window of decent weather they get today!


They should get them ready to go by 8-9 a.m. Stuff the television people.


My thoughts aswell Im sure the players are ready to roll!


I don't think the players really like to play early in the morning - they need time to eat, warm up, etc. Especially Andy, he hates early starts. Anyway, that's irrelevant now as they missed the early window and are now rain delayed again.

One of the players was saying that they get to the court at about 7 for an 11 o'clock start. If they were to start at 8 o'clock they'd have to be there at about 4 in the morning!


@andy_murray Andy Murray

Its hosing down again! Hahah amazing 2 minutes before we were going to walk out


Cancelled for the day! Don't believe it



more tweets from Andy


@RoscoHutchins I droomed you and had so much more up my sleeve, petch was in your grill too


@judmoo incorrect its dusan vemic


On way into the courts and all traffic has been stopped as there are men playing the bagpipes with american flags on top of them.... Weird


Just noticed that Andy has over 600,000 followers on twitter now. :D

Andy hasn't posted on twitter for ages.

Linda
02-10-2011, 12:38
Really? I find that extremely odd as his management company seemed to think only a few weeks ago that Twitter was preferable to a forum.

Of course, he may just have lost his phone like Jamie did once!

JAMES4578
02-10-2011, 12:52

Sky asked Andy about why he stopped tweeting.

He says he hasn't lost a match since he stopped tweeting. So I don't reckon we'll get any tweets for a while yet.

14-10-2011, 14:16
So now we know why Andy is not tweeting and that he won't be any time soon. He said in his interview that he hasn't lost since he stopped and he doesn't miss it. Sad about it but he's obviously made up his mind.

lynne
14-10-2011, 14:25
I must say I can't blame him, sad for us but I think we can live with that if it's all the better for Andy got to respect his views!!:wave:

JAMES4578
14-10-2011, 14:28
In the sense it's a pity but it's obviously up to Andy and maybe he was spending a bit too much time on there and seeing some malicious ones. Maybe we will get the odd tweet on a big moment, but either way as long as Murray does well I'm happy!

Linda
14-10-2011, 17:12
Well, it's much better that Andy concentrates on his tennis rather than on being a twit! :laugh:

Andy and his superstitions. :p But he keeps going undefeated I will be fine with not having andy tweet :p

Speaking of superstitions, I am pretty sure it's because of Andy that I am a bit superstitious in asking for the same ball back after hitting a decent serve :p

Linda
14-10-2011, 17:21
One of the top players does that - but I can't remember who!

14-10-2011, 17:29

Andy occasionally does that too so I think I picked up on it... Oddly enough though the 1st 2 serves usually go in with the same ball but the 3rd serve messes up lol!

Katie
14-10-2011, 17:37
If Andy keeps playing as well as this then him staying away from Twitter is fine with me! :thumbup: I don't blame him for wanting to take a break - it's nice to read fan comments but it must become a pain to have to read all the negative tweets from non-fans and journalists who like to use Andy's twitter handle when they talk about him. Perhaps he's trying to get rid of all distractions and focusing totally on his tennis. Definitely seems to be working at the moment! :)

15-10-2011, 14:07
I always wondered how Andy coped with the amount of tweets he must have received on a daily basis. I struggle sometimes to read back everything on my timeline - lovely though it is - and he must have had '000's so sifting out those he really needed to read must have been difficult.

I suppose FB means he can leave messages more easily - and it seems the interface his management are encouraging his fans to use nowadays.

15-10-2011, 14:34
As long as Andy is focused and produces results like this who cares if he tweets or not? Not me. Loved to hear from him when he did but he's not obliged to anyone to keep tweeting. We all know Andy cares a lot about his fans. Keep winning mate and playing positive. Go Andyyyyy!!!!!!!!!

At least there is still interaction from Andy in some form, even if it's someone from his team that's posting the messages. Better than nothing at all. :thumbup:

Hey everyone. Very emotional return to the town where I grew up the other day. It was really overwhelming to see 20,000 people or more lining the streets. It's a day I'll never forget, and makes you realise how important it is to win things for your fans.


I'm very lucky that so many people from so many parts of the world have supported me in my career, including you guys in China. Looking forward to seeing you soon!



It's not something I do very often, but the Burberry show at London Fashion Week was amazing. We were sat next to Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of American vogue. She loves tennis!

Akin to a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook, it is one of the most popular sites in China, in use by well over 30% of Internet users, with a similar market penetration that Twitter has established in the USA. It was launched by SINA Corporation on 14 August 2009, and has more than 300 million registered users as of February 2012. About 100 million messages are posted each day on Sina Weibo.

I thought Andy might get some flak for his comments about cycling not being skilfull but it resulted in an interesting and quite long exchange on twitter yesterday between himself and a Turkish cycling journalist. Unsurprisingly his original comment was taken out of context and he was not disrespectful about cycling. He continued the discussion today with someone else who took offence but Andy was very persuasive. Well worth reading his timeline.

If you read the timeline of @MTBTR (the Turkish journalist) you can see the full conversation as he retweeted each of Andy's responses.

Rafael Nadal outclasses Tomas Berdych to reach Rome Masters final

• Spaniard wins 6-2, 6-4 in 67 minutes
• Nadal seeking his sixth title of 2013

Kevin Mitchell in Rome

The Observer, Saturday 18 May 2013 18.21 BST

What a comeback Rafael Nadal has had after a seven-month lay-off that looks to have not only saved his career but revived his game to near its best. In 67 minutes of high-quality tennis on Campo Centrale on Saturday, after rain gave way to brilliant sunshine, the Spaniard beat Tomas Berdych in just about every department to post his 35th win in 37 matches this year, and on Sunday reaches for his sixth title of 2013.

Nobody would have predicted that – not even his uncle Toni – when Nadal slipped away from Wimbledon last year on wrecked knees after the humiliation of losing to 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol. But through a mixture of courage and desperation, he took the hard choice then of withdrawing from the Tour to give his failing body a final chance to recover after years of strain.

Yesterday, he hit another peak of excellence, winning 6-2, 6-4. The difference between them was Nadal returned the vaunted serve of Berdych better than the Czech managed his replies. Berdych did not win a point on Nadal's second serve, although he put five aces past him. "He's an even better player than when I last played him, five years ago," said Berdych, who has now lost to Nadal 13 times in a row. "I had one chance, maybe, and didn't take it."

Berdych played superbly to come back from a set and 2-5 down to beat a briefly distracted Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals – even if the Serb put the result down solely to his opponent's serve, failing to mention the power of his ground strokes, and he needed one of his best cross-court forehands to hold in the third game after Nadal broke early.

Even though the standard on both sides of the net was ridiculously high, there was nothing Berdych could do to stop Nadal breaking him again go 4-1 up with a passing shot down the line off a weak smash. Nadal was inspired, playing irresistible tennis from all parts of the court - and Berdych was not playing badly. If Djokovic was inconvenienced by Berdych's high-toss bullet serve, Nadal had no such problems, one return from an impossibly wide on the backhand side leaving the Czech swishing at the crisp Roman air.

In the changeover at 5-2, Nadal ripped away bandaging on his left foot that clearly was annoying him. He was not the only one agitated by events – about this time Andy Murray tweeted: "Was pumped 2 watch nadal berdych but barry cowans commentating has killed match 5 games in... poor guy has no idea what's happening #clueless." Presuming his account had not been hijacked by the gobby Australian cricketer David Warner, sitting at home tending his sore back would seem not to suit the world No2. Nadal served out for 6-2 just on the half-hour, so he was happy enough.

Ahead in the serving cycle, Berdych hit a rhythm in the second set, interrupted in the third game when an outsize sponsor's tennis ball bounced on to the court in mid-serve. Meanwhile, Murray continued his Twitter war on poor Cowans, with followers chipping in demanding his removal from the commentary team.

Back on court, Nadal moved through his repertoire, hurting Berdych from all angles, but the sixth seed struck his fifth ace to hold for 3-2. However, when Nadal broke him to love in the ninth game with a mix of slice and power to punish half-hit ground strokes, Berdych was back in a hole largely of his own digging.

Serving for the match, Nadal was in the same position as Djokovic was the day before – except this time the Czech gifted his opponent the match with a lazy return that drifted harmlessly long.

Just hope Andy doesn't suffer too much from reprisals from the commentary teams !
Petch and Peter Fleming are honest commnentators (and tend to be on Andy's side) but I fear the others will take every opportunity to stick the knife in. Will Andy care ? I doubt it but people do listen to them and he gets enough rough publicity.
Still...at this point 1-0 to Andy

They probably are like Nadal's recent "King of Clay" which was verging on the tacky but they're still done in their name and no doubt Andy's PR would like to get hold of his twitter but as he said in the GQ interview, if I start behaving like an a*** I hope somebody tells me. ;)

I think djoko does his own tweets but Rafa's English is too good in his so I know it can't be him.
Djokovic looks like a self tweeter but he does enjoy and encourage the adulation from his fans with his Nolefam and as for Federer's bandana poll, cringe. :big grin:
