caledonia Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 stopped for rain with Murray a set up Quote
Madbadteacher Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Yeah, but apparently Fed "decided" it was stopped? Quote
Kowalski Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Who's he getting pumped from in the final? Nobody the way he's playing. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted August 15, 2010 Report Posted August 15, 2010 Nobody the way he's playing. good stuff. He did his best to chuck the first set away though! Quote
Tyrant Posted August 16, 2010 Report Posted August 16, 2010 Superb stuff, Andy! Take it to Flushing Meadows! Quote
Kowalski Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 His US Open 1st round match is expected to be on at around 6pm tonight. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8952858.stm Quote
Madbadteacher Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 Was on ESPN here earlier and he was 5-2 up first set. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 Update, humped his oponent in 3 sets 6-3 6-2 6-2 Quote
Kowalski Posted September 1, 2010 Report Posted September 1, 2010 And Berdych is out, who was in his side of the draw and probably the biggest threat before potentially meeting Nadal in the semis. Quote
Kowalski Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 Looks like Wawrinka is up for a battle, Sky Sports 2 just now. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 Looks like Wawrinka is up for a battle, Sky Sports 2 just now. More like Murray isn't. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 More like Murray isn't. Aye, getting a royal pumping. Amazing how his injuries come on when he's up against it. Quote
maverick sheep Posted September 5, 2010 Report Posted September 5, 2010 Wawrinka was immense. Some people play better when they feel a minor injury and that seemed to be what turned it round for him. Murray needs a fucking therapist because he's too old to still be acting like such a brat at the moments when the Federers and Nadals know it's time to screw the nut and put on the poker face. Sadly I get the feeling he (his mum) won't let anyone other than yes men around him. He needs someone there to tell him plain and simple he fucked it. No one else. Just him. Quote

Exact same mentality as Colin Montgomerie. He has to change it otherwise his career is going to be full of "almosts", and I think that'd hurt an awful lot more in tennis where the number of players likely to win majors/grand slams is so much less than golf.

Agreed. Especially because of the lack of English players to take the heat off him in the media/public opinion. There'd be no 'greatest player never to win a slam' it would just be 'arsehole/loser/bottler/jock cunt' Quote
Madbadteacher Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 He is a 7 year old boy in a sportsmans body! Quote
Goldie03 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 He was well out of sorts again yeh - you can tell straight away now when he is gonna get beat - I fell asleep after the 3rd set but I knew exactly what the headline would be this morning He needs to man up and get rid of his mum from the crowd!! Quote

Man up indeed. He behaves like a fucking child and I agree he seems to only want "yes" men around him, he dumps coaches with alarming regularity. He could and should pump players like Wawrinka and as Hebrew says, you know right off the blocks what kind of match you're getting from Murray. He won't win a slam with that, he has all the talent in the world but a mentality that has the breaking strain of a fucking kitkat. Quote

Kowalski Posted September 6, 2010 Report Posted September 6, 2010 Very disappointing but some of the reaction is a little OTT. While I do wonder if he'll ever win a major, worse players than Murray have won them, but few have played in an era as competitive as the one he's in. Quote

I'm not saying his mentality is necessarily spot on or anything but to come from where he did to become the top class Tennis player that he undoubtedly is is an immense achievement and in my opinion goes to show that he must already be mentally tough. I don't think he's far away from winning a grand slam. Scotland is about as far from an ideal place to nurture a promising Tennis career as you’re likely to find in a so called civilised country. Hence he had to fuck off to Spain to attend a decent Tennis school. He's already overcome massive odds and I think he will again. Quote
