ARE YOU F***IN' KIDDIN' ME?????

Murray should be focused on one, and only ONE, thing when he steps onto the court ... BEATING THE SNOT OUT OF HIS OPPONENT!!!

You don't ease up because you think he might be hurt.

That is a LOSER mentality ... and goes a long way in explaining why a guy with Murray's physical gifts and talent only has two slams at age 27.

I've always liked Murray ... and usually root for him ... but I've long suspected that he doesn't have the mental toughness needed to win numerous slams.

And this is just more confirmation of that opinion...
There is no shame in losing to Djoker at the AO (just like Nadal at RG), slow-medium, lower bouncing hard courts are his best surface.

Plexicushion just suits him down to the ground, Novak is just too good on this surface, and has only lost there once in the past 5 years.

Murray will live to fight another day, his best bet is at Wimbledon.

True, but there is shame if he is being a sore loser! Making excuses like "Djokovic seems hurt, and that's why I loss."

There is no shame in losing to ANYONE as long as you give it everything you have.

Murray is basically saying that he let up for a time in the third because he thought Djokovic was hurting.

That is UNBELIEVABLE to me!!!!!

World-class athletes in CHAMPIONSHIP matches don't ease up because they think a guy is having trouble moving!!!

That's precisely when you GO FOR THE KILL!!!

Can you imagine Connors or McEnroe saying something like that after a final at Flushing Meadows?? Or Sampras or Federer saying they gave their opponent a break in the Wimbledon final because they thought he was tired or hurt???


Murray needs to get his head right and develop a killer instinct ... or find another line of work...

Lol another line of work. Yeah the two time slam winning, Olympic gold and silver medalist and former world number 2 in the best era ever should find another line of work.

You expect people to take you seriously?

It is a superlol, Andy has made over $35 million in prize money alone.
And 2 Slams is not to be sneezed at in any era, especially this one.

Not surprising to see you two defending Andy The Underachiever.

His record is laughable when compared to those of his two contemporaries ... Rafa and Djokovic.

And here's something even funnier ... Murray only has one more slam than guys like Michael Chang and Andy Roddick.

And given his incredibly weak mentality, he'll likely remain stuck at two slams for the rest of his career...
