walesavfc Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) andy murray the brit Andy Murry the scot I quite like Murray though, i like that he don`t give up on points. Can`t stand djokovic, simply because he has to use spoiler tactics when he is struggling,Allso a fully fit Nadal is the best player on tour... IMO Bah double post ......

Chindie Posted February 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2015 His attitude is pathetic. The moment things become difficult or things turn against him he gets entirely overcome by frustration and falls apart. That's why he will never quite stand as equal with Djokovic or Nadal or Federer. You can see him giving up as we speak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks to be on his way back to his best. Should be in the mix at the US and Wimbledon as well. He could maybe learn from Djok gamesmanship, focus on that rather than beating yourself up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djokovic muct have a great chance of winning the French and competing the career slam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Was travelling down to watch our game so was looking forward to watching the end of a classic....got in the pub at 3-3 in the 3rd set. Murray barely won a point after that so blame me! I actually think he's played very well in this tournament, his wins oveer Dimitrov and Berdych his overall game was very impressive imo but came up short today and no idea what happened to make him collapse so badly. Think he can win Wimbledon this season again, Djokovic isn't quite as invincible on grass and there's not too many other genuine contenders on that surface nowadays with Nadal a spent force and Fed in his mid 30s so think that's Murray's most realistic chance of another slam.

PaulC Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Murray said afterwards that Djokovic rarely missed a shot in the 4th set so he didn't think he collapsed as much as his opponent played great tennis. His one regret was letting Djokovic's injury concerns when he was ahead in the 3rd set, effect him. Yes he had a great tournament and can win Wimbledon. Federers last chance of a slam in my opinion.

Xela Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Always brings about the question what would Murray have done had he been about in Tim Henman's era? Sampras and Agassi would have been fierce competition but I don't think they hang with the trio of Federer, Nadal and Djok which Murray has had to compete with. Interesting thought but I think Fed, Nadal and Djok's combined brilliance has made Murray better and upped his game. The standard of men's tennis nowadays is brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The levels of fitness have risen dramatically. The question is how many slams would Djokovic have won if he played in sampras and Agassi era, I think he would be on about 15 by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 There's always great players in any era....people always used to say Henman was unlucky to be born in the same era as Sampras etc although these guys are on a different level. Amazing how Tennis has changed...I was watching some highlights of the famous Goran Henman 2001 Wimbledon semi the other day and I think the longest rally was about 7 shots. It was all serve and volley in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted February 1, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2015 Sampras would get mullered if he played in this era. Serve and volley is a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baselayers Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I find it funny that poeople call him a pussy for collapsing under huge pressure like that, firstly, the people saying that would do no better under those conditions. Secondly, he is human so he is allowed to fail yes? All that he can do is figure out why it happened and try and avoid it in the next final.

Mantis Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 He's not a pussy but he does need to sort his head out sometimes. He's got the ability but he loses his cool too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I was cheering for Murray and I wanted to see him win, but he let himself get caught off guard by probably the oldest trick in the book. Baffling for a top professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Do we know it was a trick though! . Djokovic said the first two sets, which took two hours and 32 minutes to complete, had made him weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Do we know it was a trick though! . Djokovic said the first two sets, which took two hours and 32 minutes to complete, had made him weak. He play acted weak between points but didn't miss a beat during them. It was pretty clearly in my eyes a tactic to get Murray frustrated that he couldn't take advantage of an injured opponent and to destroy himself mentally. Djokovic isn't going to come out now and say "oh yeah I was totally faking it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Maybe but he did have physical issues in the semi against Wawrinka and he has done in other matches too. Yes he could be faking it but we don't know because we're not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
