Barnzy88 no disrespect but you really got me laughing. What has Murray really accomplished so far in tennis for you to say such a ridiculous comment? "Murray on his day could beat all up to the semis" That is so laughable!!

=======
while it would have been a tough draw, its just such a shame as Murray on his day could beat all up to the semis..

OK francotirado I'm confused. Which one of these players would make you laugh with surprise if Murray beat them?

World number 172 Warburg?
World number 86 Garcia-Lopez

Or perhaps Mikhail Youzhny... who has lost the only match he's ever played against Murray?

You don't know much about tennis do you?

Nadal is a great player, no doubt. Of all the young players (under 23), i see only him and Djokovic as actual threats to supplant Federer as #1...the rest are pretenders to the throne. That being said, i had no idea Tsonga was this good. I knew he had talent, but not like this! With the type of tennis he is playing now, he can beat any of the Triumvirate: The Federal Express, Pirate Pants, and the Joker!

jaffa cake --are you Murray in disguise ?? the only press on murray if you saw the bbc replay was his mum talking about how he gets his hair cut and he is unsure long vs short !!!!! help !!
I am with Franco and all the others the british tv pundits are hanging on to hopes to keep themselves in the media. and what about the teenager sent home for bad behaviour by the LTA--have yiu watched murray --throw up-scream obsecenties when he fell on court-kick baskets after losing to other no hopers--he is one big loser--the rest of the players act friendly and professionally not like the yob you and others promotes.

Murray is rubbish!...I recall Tsonga in Wimbledon last year and he was showing signs of becoming a great player and he has!!...The Mohammed Ali of Tennis yes he has power, speed floats like a butterfly stings like a bee!!

Anyone who claims Murray is rubbish should keep their mouths closed. Your talking nonsense. He's ranked 9 in the world. How can the currently 9th most successful player in the world be rubbish? Plus he's only at the start of his career. He lost to one of the inform and up and coming players. First round or not, this is no disgrace.

People seem to systematically rubbish the top British tennis players. They ignore success and focus on the failures. I don't understand why.

tenniswatchermaybe you are reading it wrong. Yes some folks just want Murray to crawl and never play tennis again. I like the kid and the way he plays, but the problem is his low self steam. For anybody to love a player you gotta be a fighter. He lacks that. He comes to a match saying things like, "I will be lucky if I can beat fed." Or " I dont think that i can win this match." In many occasions that has been his mental state. Another thing is that when he is a bit injured then he calls it quick. the botton line is that before the first ball has been tossed in his mind he has lost the match. People love winners and they also root for the underdog, but my god, give it all you can and fight for it iwth a top attitude. Every body loves a fighter even if his changes of winning is only 1 to 1000!!
Nadal is not the most gracious player to watch on the court but with his powerful mind and "lemme get to each single ball" attitude is hard NO to root for him. He is a fighter and even if he is down 2 sets he will fight for each ball as if he is two games away from winning a grand slam.

No, TheOpinion, the point I am making is that the anti-Murray fans are always so quick to rubbish him.
Tsonga played a strong winning game, but some of the ridiculous anti-Murray comments about the match never cease to amaze.
