i was gutted yesterday when he got beat - but i'm very impressed with how hes handling the disappointment - easily one of the best players on the planet, he can beat anyone on his day - hopefully he'll win a slam one day but if not, as he says its not the end of the world 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

When he wins.....a great British player .......Such a shame that the Scot was not up to the job BJ..

And that I am afraid to say is the difference between British sportsmen and women, and those 'winners' of other countries like the USA and Russia.  To them not winning is like the end of the world, and that is what they play to avoid.

i think to be fair to AM, he broke down in tears after last years final defeat to a guy he usually beats (Federer) - and I think he's making a conscious effort to chill a bit

i personally always support his opponent. he's scottish! i'm english. and he's made it quite clear he dont like the english, therefore ill never ever support him.

Yep, someone said once, 'Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser'

I didn't hold my breath this time either

But Murray is a Scotsman. In it for the money.

He didn't get his mitts on the winner's prize pot. It'd make any Scot cry!

His game plan is all wrong - he tries to slug it out on the baseline all the time and doesn't go to the net often enough.

He says thats how he plays the game and he'll stick with it (stubborn so & so); that will work playing lesser class players but when he plays the class players (nadal/federer/djokovitch) more often than not he comes unstuck.

He has the skill and class to win a major but he needs to change his game plan.

[albitz]

He,s a miserable little sh1t, he deserves to lose.

Agree totally....unless he's playing a German,French or argentinian....

For crying out loud, not this again.  The comment he made was a joke during some banter that the press latched onto and blew totally out of proportion, he and plenty of other people have tried to explain this so many times it's ridiculous.  Stop believing everything the papers tell you for heaven's sake.

Besides, he happens to be a Wolves supporter via his work with John Lloyd.  Explain how you can hate the English and follow an English footie club?
