Olympics QF Mens Doubles. Evans/Murray v Fritz/Paul. Thursday 4th on Lenglen

Fritz/Paul were the stronger pair, at least we seen some fighting spirit /determination but it was not quite enough. Really needed a better start, may not what he hoped for but still impressive that Andy/Dan reached the quarters.

A number of memorable matches throughout the years and some remarkable achievements, been such a joy to be a supporter of Andy Murray! of course challenges in recent years but his never give up attitude won many admirers, it was right to call it the end of the day this season though.

Thanks to everyone for their company throughout the highs and lows, hope the forum may continue for a bit longer though.

I didn’t watch it. I had my swimming lesson. I had so hoped he and Dan might pull off a medal, but it wasn’t to be.

He left nothing out there in his career. He rung out every ounce of talent he had. He did himself and Britain proud.

I shall miss the nerve racking matches and the hiding in the garden.


I hope the next stage of his life is happy, fulfilling and pain free.

Yes, James, the American duo were very strong (but think their more experienced compatriots may take the gold). Thank you everybody for your company over the years both on here and at events. Perhaps see you at Davis Cup Manchester in September; I'm there with son and grandson for the Argentina tie; I'll be the one with the 1936 Union Jack and the elbow crutch! Take care. x

So sad that this is Andy's last match but we have been lucky that he has managed to continue as long as he has and given us so much enjoyment.

14 years ago today I met Andy in Los Angeles where he was playing. He lost in the final to Sam Querrey but I was so happy that I got the chance to meet him.

Thanks to you all for giving me like minded people to talk to and follow Andy with, and to Sally and the mods for the forum.
Last but not least, thanks to Cazza and Speedy for the comps. It's been fun.
Can't wait to see what he does next and hoping to still follow along here.

Beautiful photo Genbrit! Something to treasure!

I have a photo of him at the Davies Cup in Bruges.
I’ve also two life size cardboard cutouts of him in my kitchen.
But I’m not ready to get rid of them yet!

On a serious note - I’ve loved sharing Andy and his ups and downs with this community of folks who also loved him wholeheartedly like I do.
And meeeting some of you at Glasgow and Bruges for That Davies Cup that will be forever in our minds.
I don’t know what’s happening to the forum but I wish you all the best.
And I wish Andy love, health and happiness which I’m sure he’ll have oodles off.

Some of you must have been through this before with Tim Henman. Did you feel as bereft when he retired?

No.
:shades:

But I expect the folks who set up and ran his fan forum did.
