Murray forced to pull out
June 13, 2008
Andy Murray has had a huge scare before Wimbledon after pulling out if his quarterfinals match with Andy Roddick. Murray pulled out due to a sprained thumb, during his match with Gulbis he had numerous falls on the slippery centre court and asked the umpire if they could get off the court due to dangerous play.
Murray spoke about his departure…
“I woke up this morning and couldn’t pick up my pillow, I was struggling to pick up my phone, I took another anti-inflammatory, came down here and tried to practice, hit some balls. I had a scan and I haven’t pulled anything, just sprained it a bit. It’s obviously not terrible but it’s just too sore to try and play a match. ”
Andy Roddick will now meet Rafael Nadal after he beat Ivo Karlovic in three sets 6-7,7-6,7-6.
Tiger makes edgey start
June 13, 2008
Tiger Woods looked like he was still suffering from his knee injury in round one of the US Open. Tiger still managed to end just four shots off the lead at +1 par.
Tiger said…
“The knee is a bit sore right now. That wasn’t the only one that I winced on. It is what it is, you’ve got to deal with it and continue playing. Unfortunately, I three-putted the last and there is no excuse for that. I had a terrible start. I couldn’t ask for a worse start. It’s not like I haven’t been there before. I’ve made bogeys before, just not two of them on the first hole. Stay patient, there are some birdie holes out there. I got back to under par, unfortunately I didn’t stay there.”
The US Open is being lead by Justin Hicks who shot a four under 68.
He said…
“It is not every day you get to say you shot under par at a US Open so it feels pretty darn good,”
Tiger Woods will have to improve if he is to add to his 13 majors.
