The 2017 FO semi final ended the careers of both Murray and Wawrinka
Permalink  

I remember watching this match, the level of both players was that of another planet.  It was one of the most brutal matches of recent times.  Sadly it looks like it may have ended the careers of both players.  Neither have been the same since. 

Will either of them ever coming back and realistically challenge for grand slams?

No. Neither has the requisite determination.

Murray Wawrinka Raonic Neishikori and Djokovic have all suffered really bad injuries due to the intensity of the tennis they play.

I think Murray if he comes back will only be if he has a chance to win a slam.

Personally I think Djokovic will never win another slam he has lost it mentally

I think it is hard to attribute any particular event to the end of most players careers although there are occasional exceptions, Monica Seles career never really recovered from that horrendous attack on court she sufferered in 1993.

Murray and Wawrinka have been a privilege to watch, their bodies have just taken a relentless pounding since childhood and showing the wear and tear you would expect to see after a decede of success at the highest level.

Murray will have to do Roger, I can see Murray quitting clay season though, just to prolong his career, is just too much strain on his body.

 Yes, me too. Especially as the French comes just before the grass court season. Why take the risk and screw up Queens and Wimbledon just for a bit of red dust stuff that kills you....

I think the gap between Wimbledon and French should stay at 3 weeks, but Queens should be moved to 2 weeks after wimbledon and be made  Master 1000.

Wimbledon to me works best as the final act of the main grass season. Whatever else you have, it should be a build up to that.

Having seen the title of this thread, it only took one guess to work out who'd started it

Vandenburg probably has a bit of a point here though, but no doubt their issues are too complicated to be fully laid at the door of a single match.

Once again, it seems my insight was correct, as this appears to be the event that triggered all of this.

Murray said today that this was the first match that he just wasn't able to recover from.

For Andy if not that match, it would have been another in time.

The hip was a ticking timebomb.

Not sure if it's ended Stan's career.
