Murray beaten in 4 sets

[David Johnson]

Hi,

Just not good enough again. As Mrmcfister says elsewhere, Murray is a brilliant tennis player but looks as if he is just going to be a little short of what it takes to be a grand slam winner. There was an air of inevitability about his defeat by Nadal, even after Murray won the first set. And you kinda think that even if he had beaten Nadal, would Murray have been consistent enough to go on and beat Djokovic who has the best record this year?

I hope Murray doesnt take a pasting in the press. In fact Murray has met the expectations of the people in the various tennis Grand Slams in terms of his seeding e.g. he was seeded 5th in the Aussie slam and made the final, 4th in both the French and Wimbledon ones where he made the semis.

So you can hardly accuse him of failing. He is a great player but just a little bit short when it comes to the crunch matches.

Maybe next year!!!!!

Cheers

David,
Yep ...very good player !..but not *world class* in a billion bank holidays!

[David Johnson]

Yeah, alas. And even if next year you have a whole host of coincidences e.g. Nadal and Federer injured, Djokovic run over by a London bus on a day's sightseeing, there will be some other bugger that comes along like that 18 year old Aussie kid who made the semis this year and beat Murray.

THe nearly man it seems.

Better than Henman but just not quite good enough.

Cheers

Well, there's always next year. One day, he'll win Wimbledon.
