He's really fit is Murray and has got a lot of class.
But there are players fitter and classier.
He needs to go away and work on his physique more.
It's just that little extra power in his shots and that little bit more stamina that would see him become a champion.
Otherwise, he will never win a major.
He is naturally gifted but hasn't got the body at the moment.

And I am not sure a cardboard cut-out as a coach helps.
It is clear when players are not throwing the ball high enough on first serves, that's when a bit of coaching wouldn't go amiss.

He's signed up to his 19 management

Bump...

Fantastic performance tonight and a great game all round. Really looked like he was going to blow it after losing the 4th set. Delighted he's managed to get his first Grand Slam under his belt. Hopefully he can push on and win a few more now he's got the first out of the way.

Oops



Well done, Andy.

Thought this was a thread complaining about Murray's no-show at the Olympic parade yesterday. The massive slacker.

Scotland's Andy Murray wins his first Grand Slam title. I bet there are quite a few on here who are eating their words now.

Not me. I watched it and was wanting him to win, but I must admit I'm still finding it hard to actually like him. He just seems so miserable and lacking in personality. He just doesn't seem to enjoy any of it, as if he's another of the elite that play tennis that was dragged to practice every day at 6am in his mother's Range Rover and has resented it ever since.

I was very impressed with his ability however, he's got the full range of shots now and has improved dramatically from a few years back when I last sat through one of his matches.

Aye, all those sensitive lil luvvies who couldn't take his 'anyone but England' banter about the World Cup

Sorry mate, but that's total nonsense. If he hated it and didn't care there's no way he'd get as pumped up as he does, as frustrated as he does, you just can't put on that type of emotion.

Some people are just cursed with a miserable tone of voice and aren't very demonstrative. Ivan Lendl was hardly a natural when it comes to smiling for the cameras.

Philosophical point. Which is best: laugh-a-minute, plucky loser or sullen, arch-miserablist winner?

And he wouldnt cry like a little baby.

A good point rather childishly put

Thanks poo head

Touche

I for one thought Murray would never win a grand slam.
I wanted him to, I'm not like a load of other Murray haters I know.
Well done Murray, the best player on the night and clearly quite capable of sorting out Jokovic and Federer in the future.
So he may win more given Nadal's problems.

The main thing is that the Monkey is off his back now and he can feel more confident in his undoubted ability.

I do wonder how many classed Chris Hoy as 'Scottish' during the Olympics?

Sat up watching the match and cheering Novak on, but alas it wasn't to be.

Murray deserved the win.

Delighted for the lad. First of many I hope.

HE didn't make 'derogatory' comments about our darling England football team though, so alas nobody dislikes him

.....Those 'comments'!!!....Said in jest, in a light-hearted conversation between Murray, Tim Henman and a journalist, and now a reason for thousands of nobhead Englishmen to display their knuckle dragging tendancies...

Great end to a brilliant summer of sport. So glad that he won one, haters are going to hate but he is the best tennis player Britain have had post war and he would have won something before now if he wasn't up against 3 of the best players of all time. Men's tennis is in a golden era right now and to win a slam in it is a brilliant achievement.

Precisely right. I've heard it through Murray's mouth via an interview on Talksport, the journo asked him "will you be supporting Scotland in the world cup", to which he replied "no i'll be supporting whoever England play harharhar"... Well we all know it doesn't take much for the Engerlund fans to get offended

England fans (and I am one) should be more worried about how poor their team are at the moment, rather than getting upset about what someone else has supposedly said.

As for Murray, I thought, with the exception of the 3rd and 4th set mini slump, when Djokovic was actually playing awesome tennis, it was as good a performance I've seen from him ever. It was a cracking match all the way through and Murray fully deserved the win.

Aye but you know what a large section of them will be like. I don't have a problem with Scotland, well, apart from the Rangers/Celtic bigotry. I quite enjoy the banter etc, one of my foster dads was Scottish, we used to give each other the pelters, but it was hilarious.

England have a football team ? That's an oxymoron is England and Football.
