Had een afspraak vanavond dus kon het einde van Azarenka - Williams niet zien. Gelukkig is er dan altijd nog de NOS met haar samenvattingen. Maar liefst 37 seconden en 3 punten. Wat kan een mens nog meer willen?

Wimbledon, England

Andy Murray just can’t stop thinking about tennis.

Murray, who plays in the Wimbledon quarterfinals on Wednesday, is busily sifting through shots, ball trajectories and possible strategies at boggling speeds as he chases a second Wimbledon title. As gifted as he is as an athlete, it’s his overactive mind that makes him good at tennis, and particularly good on grass, where the points are quick and decisions must be made with computer-like efficiency.

No one in tennis obsesses about tactics and styles as much as the 28-year-old Murray does. He watches matches in the locker room. He watches on his computer. He is a well-known fan of women’s tennis, sometimes offering live commentary on matches on his Twitter feed. He keeps tabs on juniors and offers advice to up-and-coming players. He studies opponents and their tendencies and then he subtly sets traps for them.

Wimbledon is one of the few major sporting events where you can still buy premium tickets on the day of play—but you might have to sleep outside to score them. WSJ's Niki Blasina visited the infamous queue to learn how to survive it and enjoy Wimbledon like a local.
In the fourth round of Wimbledon on Monday, Murray did something that seemed insane: He hit numerous lobs against the 6-foot-11 Ivo Karlovic, who feasts on overheads. Murray explained how his plan paid dividends after his 7-6(7), 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 victory.

“The volley he missed, at 6-all in the tiebreak in the first set, or maybe it was 7-all, I can’t remember, but he actually backed away from the net when I went to hit the passing shot,” Murray said. “It’s good against guys that come to the net because it stops them from getting too close.”

As Murray spoke, he kept an eye on the score of his brother Jamie’s doubles match. When his brother’s team won, he interrupted his monologue and clenched his fists.

“Sorry, my brother just won,” he said.

Tennis is taxing to play and tiring to watch. In the locker rooms, players can’t help but glance at matches as they wait to play, but most avoid watching loads of tennis, especially during tournaments. Once players lose, they often book the first flight out of town and don’t watch the rest of the tournament on television. Another common refrain among tennis pros: “I worry about my game, not my opponent’s.”

It’s a simple approach that has some merit, but not one that Murray chooses to take. He just likes watching and thinking about tennis, according to Jonas Bjorkman, whom Murray recently hired to help his full-time coach, Amélie Mauresmo.

“He’s really studying everyone,” Bjorkman said. “It doesn’t suit everyone, but for him it really works.”

So far at Wimbledon, Murray has talked about the styles and approaches of fellow British players, watched a bit of Serena Williams and revealed that he sits in front of his computer to watch his friend James Ward play matches on the Challenger circuit, the equivalent of tennis’s minor leagues. Before Aljaz Bedene, who recently changed his nationality from Slovenian to British, played his first-round match here, Murray had a chat with Bedene’s coach about tactics (Bedene won). Murray practices often with Ward and other British players and hears about younger players from his mother, Judy Murray, who is the captain of Britain’s Fed Cup team.

“What I do enjoy doing is being around the other British players, chatting to them, helping them, practicing with them,” Murray said. “Being around them is good for me, as well.”

Ivan Lendl, who coached Murray while he won titles at the 2012 U.S. Open and 2013 Wimbledon, often looked with surprise at Murray’s comments about other players and the matches he watches.


“When we were out, we would talk about anything but tennis,” Lendl said. “We would talk about soccer, we would talk about cars, all that.”

Lendl has a theory about the discrepancy: Murray’s mind is so attuned to tennis minutiae that he doesn’t need to watch much of a match to understand exactly what’s working and what isn’t.

“He has an analytical mind and he remembers very well,” Lendl said. “When he played against someone, I would just say, ‘What do you think?’ And he would spill it out.”

Lendl and Daniel Vallverdu, Murray’s former hitting partner and coach, would then stress a few of those ideas.

Murray’s tennis studies began at an early age in Scotland. He learned his game while playing against older opponents, including his older brother, and had to rely more on tactics than strength. Murray would watch tennis stars like Marat Safin on television and jot down ways to beat them in notebooks.

When Murray hired Mauresmo last year, he said he felt like he had lost touch with the craftier game style of his youth. Mauresmo, who won Wimbledon in 2006 with flair and bold attacks, has been the perfect fit. Murray recently added Bjorkman to his coaching team (Mauresmo is pregnant with her first child; the baby is due this summer.) So far, Bjorkman’s role has centered on two areas: Murray’s already excellent returns and his court positioning at the net.

“He asked me to come in and help him to be a little bit more aggressive on the returns and come in behind them hopefully later on,” Bjorkman said.

Murray has been playing with a taped-up, sore shoulder at Wimbledon. He will play a first-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist on Wednesday, Canada’s Vasek Pospisil. The 25-year-old Pospisil, who won the Wimbledon doubles title last year with partner Jack Sock, has a strong serve and nice touch at the net. Murray knows Pospisil well: They have played each other three times since October, all on hard courts, and all straight-sets victories for Murray. But he wasn’t about to take any chances.

“I’ll watch some videos of him playing singles over the next couple days,” Murray said.

Gaat de top 4 vandaag winnen of komen er verrassingen? Ben wel benieuwd.
