Andy Murray 2012

He's ****.

he was today

[Gibbo]

.

I didn't see him today to be honest, just went fishing.

I don't mind Murray, he's alright, the Scots do seem to be quite protective over him however. .

Has he got a genuine injury or a Murray injury.

It's a shame for him that he just isn't as good as the top 3, He can't really do much more to be fair to him. Think he will always be the best of the rest.

Djokovic-Federer is going to be a cracker.

Do you go proper fishing? Can you eat what you catch? Did you catch anything? Did you eat it?

Or

Have you got a sad little tent that you put up around a pond or canal. And a radio?

Anyway, I think he's got a physical injury - and he certainly has a head problem (he didn't believe he could win today and it showed).

He'll be back in Blighty by tomorrow, hitting on grass at AELTC within minutes and getting ready for grass - new set of parameters that he is much better equipped to deal with.

He is unlucky to be playing in an era with 3 of the best players to ever play the game

10 years ago he would have been challenging Roddick and Hewitt for the titles

Bollocks unlucky!

He's got everything he needs - except between the ears. It's a British disease - he can't believe he can do it. On clay.

If he doesn't get a slam I will be mortified.

Could happen this year, maybe next. Say he's got five years left at the top - that's 20ish opportunities... Fed isn't going to be around for five years: Nadal might break himself...er...Novak...er...will probably still be around... but the lad has every determination to do it asap so people can't level the argument about 'you only won because they weren't there'

Anyway - he didn't do himself justice tonight - and he'll know it.

Maybe unlucky wasn't the right term but he would have won a slam if he was around 10 years ago

I do think his problem is mental but not a British disease, he has had enough coaches to try and make him a winner but they can't do it.

Maybe more of a Murray disease?

Rafa destroys Ferrer

[RichC]

that was unreal, not sure I've seen him play any better on clay.

Djok or Fed are going to have a bloody tough time stopping him winning his 7th French Open

[5europeancups]

Getting a bit sick of him to be honest. He is constantly changing his coach and going on about how he likes a team of people around him to make him feel better.

He seems too soft, and needs to toughen up and be stricter with himself imo.

If i was Murray, I would get rid of the whole 'Team Murray', I would stop my mum going to every match; I would get a top class coach who is proven and stick with them long-term - none of the top players change their coaches anywhere near as much as he does.

Thoughts?

Personally i like the guy. He changes his coach because he feels he is no longer making progress, and clearly he is driven to succeed. Its just a shame that probably he doesnt have the inate ability of the top three guys, and will never truly succeed. I think he would need a bit of luck to win a grand slam like injuries to some of the other guys as he isnt getting any younger and there will be a new breed of guys just around the corner.

i even have the feeling that even if the top three all drop out , he would still get beat by someone else when push comes to shove.

A bit like Tim Henman in the year Goran won.

But you never know. Maybe Lendl can get the best out of him on the hard courts.

[JohnDoe]

I think Nadal destroys whoever reaches the final. Both Federer and Djokovic have not been impressive this tournament.

Yeah, Federer might aswell pull out before the match if he gets there, them two playing at RG is just pointless and Djoko's level has defo dropped. If theres suddenly booming sunshine on sunday and it plays like a hard court you never know but that aint happening.

[RichC]

never say never with Fed and Djok but I can't see Nadal not winning it.

[Neil Young]

never say never with Fed and Djok but I can't see Nadal not winning it.

I don't think I've never not seen a sentence with that many negatives in it.
