Murray Musings

Claire, Scott and Peter

Three friends come together to talk about the Scottish professional tennis player, Andy Murray. Listen in as they examine Andy's career in a detail that only the most passionately dedicated/obsessive(!?) of fans could manage. Follow Claire, Scott and Peter as they ramble, rave, and generally attempt to articulate their love for the man that's given them so much joy. As Andy looks to prove that he's still capable of top level tennis ahead of the 2021 season, join his biggest fans as they prepare themselves for what could well be the most important year in their hero's career so far...

Last week, our three hosts got the chance to welcome Tom Humberstone to Murray Musings HQ! Tom is an established comic artist and graphic novelist and has just released a book called Suzanne, all about the great French tennis legend Suzanne Lenglen! Listen on in as Tom takes us through his history as a tennis fan through to the point that he knew he wanted to write a story about it. We also talk Andy everything and look at what could be lurking in the uncertain future for our man...

Catchy episode title, we know...

Back at the beginning of this week, Claire and Peter sat down to talk about the recent happenings in the career of some guy called Andy Murray. Thankfully, no real predictions were made for Andy's week in Canada and so you can close your eyes and pretend with us for awhile that THAT match with Taylor Fritz simply didn't happen...

I usually type these episode descriptions from a half-jokey perspective of an omnipresent overlord in Murray Musings HQ but I'd like to be serious for a second to say that both Peter and myself (Scott!) are very proud of Claire for completing the London Marathon a few weeks ago! She's such a badass and we love her greatly.
But anyways, yes, our boy did play some tennis recently and yes, we do have some thoughts so come join us as we both reflect back on the last few weeks before looking forwards towards Andy's final few tournaments of the season...

Our three hosts finally got their heads in the game and sat down to talk about Andy's journey from the first week of the US Open all the way to Glasgow in Scotland where he participated in the Davis Cup tie last week! And Claire and Scott where there! And Claire even got a selfie with him! And she hasn't shut up about it since! Peter and Scott are considering investing in ear plugs... Aside from that, our hosts also look ahead to this coming weekend's Laver Cup, a pretty significant event given that a little-known player called Roger Federer will play his last professional match there. Get your tissues ready, there's going to be tears...

Alright then...
On the evening before the start of the final major tennis tournament of the year, our three hosts sat down to talk about their boy's chances. Come chill a little as they talk through the possibilities and why it is that all of them are really damn hoping for at the VERY LEAST a second week showing from this tournament. We also hear from Peter about what working at Cincinnati was like and how it feels to now be a recognisable figure for Andy Murray...

The day before he flew out to America to cover the WTA Finals, tennis commentator and analyst Marcus Buckland was kind enough to spare some time to sit down and chat with our hosts awhile in Murray Musings HQ. Marcus has previously worked for Sky and currently works for Amazon Prime and so is well-placed to provide some valuable insight into what life is like behind the scenes in the commentary booth. He also offers advice to up-and-coming tennis journalists before going on share his thoughts on whether or not Andy Murray has one more big tournament left in him...

Grab some popcorn because this is a good 'un!

Wimbledon was a thing and it happened and some of it was bad and some of it was fucking excellent because Scott and Claire got to actually go and meet Judy Murray and see Andy Murray and see Jamie Murray and see Venus Williams and my goodness, they met some friends for life. Join our hosts as they unpack what went down in Wimbledon town...

Well, this is definitely a Murray Musings highlight!

Former professional player, former coach of Andy Murray and current Amazon Prime tennis commentator and analyst Mark Petchey visited Murray Musings HQ this week and amazingly, didn't get scared off by the fact that one of the very first things Scott wanted to show him was his life-size Andy cardboard cutout! Mark offers insight into his own career, giving advice to aspiring commentators and pundits, as well as telling us about what Andy was like as a teenager trying to make it big in a sport that's notoriously difficult to make it big in. He takes our hosts on trip down memory lane, shares some career highlights and milestones, as well as making a few intriguing predictions for the upcoming Wimbledon fortnight.

Grab a coffee, a tea, a coke, a glass of water, whatever you fancy, and settle on in. This is a good 'un.
